    摘要: A method for maintaining server computers. The method comprises capturing a signature of one of a plurality of server computers by an augmented user interface (AUI) maintenance client application executing on a mobile communication device, transmitting the signature by the AUI maintenance client application to an AUI maintenance server application executing on a computer, looking up information on the server computer associated with the signature by the AUI maintenance server application based on the signature, wherein the information identifies a process executing on the server computer, identifies an alarm active on the server computer, and identifies a recommended maintenance action, transmitting the looked up information by the AUI maintenance server to the AUI maintenance client application, and presenting the information on a display of the mobile communication device, whereby maintenance of the server computer is assisted.

    摘要: In a wireless communication network, a primary access node controls the amount of secondary access nodes that serve User Equipment (UE). The primary access node exchanges data with the UE, corrects errors, and determines an error rate. The primary access node exchanges the data over backhaul links and determines backhaul throughput. The primary access node determines a target number of the secondary access nodes based on the error rate and the backhaul throughput. The primary access node identifies a qualifying set of the secondary access nodes that have adequate received signal strength. The primary access node selects a serving set having the target number of secondary access nodes from the qualifying set. The primary access node indicates the UE to the serving set and indicates the serving set to the UE. The serving set of the secondary access nodes exchange data with the UE.

    摘要: A wireless access point receives data from a data appliance and transfers the data to a distributed ledger function. The distributed ledger function stores the data in a distributed ledger database, determines additional network access for the data appliance, and transfers an instruction indicating the additional network access to the wireless access point. The wireless access point receives the network access instruction, schedules the additional network access for the data appliance per the network access instruction, wirelessly transfers a network access schedule to the data appliance, wirelessly receives additional data from the data appliance per the network access schedule, and transfers the additional data to the distributed ledger function. The distributed ledger function stores the additional data in the distributed ledger database, determines future network access for the data appliance, and transfers another access instruction indicating the future network access for the data appliance to the wireless access point.

    摘要: A wireless communication network comprises network circuitry which hosts a Virtual Network Function (VNF). A VNF controller instantiates the VNF in the network circuitry and transfers instantiation information for the VNF to provisioning circuitry. The provisioning circuitry receives the instantiation information for the VNF and establishes a provisioning data link to the VNF. The provisioning circuitry transfers network provisioning data to the VNF over the provisioning data link. The VNF controller de-instantiates the VNF in the network circuitry and responsively transfers de-instantiation information for the VNF to the provisioning circuitry. The provisioning circuitry receives the de-instantiation information for the VNF and terminates the provisioning data link to the VNF. The VNF controller may comprise a Network Function Virtualization Management and Orchestration (NFV MANO) computer.

    摘要: In a wireless communication network, Network Function (NF) circuitry determines an initial NF status and indicates the initial NF status to Network Exposure Function (NEF) circuitry. The NEF circuitry processes the initial NF status, and in response, determines an initial NF privilege based on the initial NF status and indicates the initial NF privilege to the NF circuitry. The NF circuitry delivers a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE) based on the initial NF privilege. The NF determines a current NF status and indicate the current NF status to the NEF circuitry. The NEF circuitry processes the current NF status, and in response, determines a current NF privilege based on the current NF status and indicates the current NF privilege to the NF circuitry. The NF circuitry delivers the wireless data service to the UE based the current NF privilege.

    摘要: A method of updating embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICCs) on wireless communication devices. The method comprises reviewing transactions associated with eUICCs on wireless communication devices by each of a plurality of mobile network operators (MNOs), based at least in part on reviewing the transactions by the MNOs, assigning each of the MNOs to one of a first tier, a second tier, and a third tier, receiving a eUICC transaction by an eUICC updating application executing on a computer from an MNO, determining by the eUICC updating application a tier the MNO is assigned to, and sending the eUICC transaction by the eUICC updating application to a wireless communication device subject to restrictions associated with the tier to which the MNO is assigned, whereby eUICC updating transactions of MNOs are restricted based on MNO tier assignments.

    摘要: A wireless access point supports media conferencing for wireless User Equipment (UE). The wireless access point wirelessly exchanges timing signaling with the wireless UE to synchronize the wireless UE. After the wireless UE is synchronized, the wireless access point wirelessly exchanges connect signaling with the wireless UE to receive an Establishment Cause and a Wireless Network Identifier from the wireless UE. The wireless access point selects a media conferencing Mobility Management Entity (MME) when the Establishment Cause is associated with the media conferencing MME. The wireless access point selects a data MME based on the Wireless Network Identifier when the Establishment Cause is not associated with the media conferencing MME. The wireless access point exchanges network signaling with the data MME or the media conferencing MME. The wireless access point wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless UE under control of the data MME or the media conferencing MME.
