Abstract:
A communication device including a non-SIM based client is authenticated for accessing an IMS network. An internet protocol identity is received from the communication device. The internet protocol identity is not associated with a SIM. Authentication information associated with the internet protocol identity is requested and received from the communication device. A determination is made whether the communication device is authenticated based on the internet protocol identity and the authentication information. If the communication device is determined to be authenticated, the communication device is allowed access to the IMS network.

Abstract:
According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a load adaptation architecture framework that performs operations for orchestrating and managing one or more services that may operate within at least one of layers 4 through 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model. The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

Abstract:
A method, computer-readable storage device and apparatus for transmitting an offer for an item are disclosed. For example, a method receives from a social network an indication of a desire of a user for an item and receives from a device of a retailer an indication of an offer for the item. The method then determines a location of a device of the user, detects a proximity of the device of the user to a location of the retailer and transmits the offer for the item to the device of the user when the proximity of the device of the user to the location of the retailer is detected.
