Abstract: A system and method disclosed provide a subscription management (SM) platform, associated with a mobile network operator (MNO), that may receive from a first user device, over a second network other than the MNO, a discovery message including the device identifier. The first user device may not include a SIM profile activated to provision the MNO. Methods and systems may send, by the SM platform to the first user device over the second network, a confirmation code request message and receive a confirmation code response message indicative of a request to send a stored confirmation code to a second user device. Methods and systems may receive, by the SM platform over the second network, a confirmation code entered by a user, and send the SIM profile associated with the device ID to activate for provisioning the MNO.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for applying an authorized set of traffic parameters, such as network slicing parameters, Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, etc. to traffic associated with a particular application, without exposing an identifier of the traffic to one or more network devices of a network that handles the traffic. An authentication system of some embodiments may generate a tokenized version of the application. A User Equipment (“UE”) may extract a token from the tokenized application and identify a set of traffic parameters based on then token. The UE may apply the traffic parameters to outbound traffic associated with the application, and the network may determine whether such traffic parameters are authorized for a destination associated with the traffic based on an authorization of the destination for the particular traffic parameters.

Abstract: A device described herein may maintain information associating sets of traffic attributes with respective sets of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, and may receive a request to establish a traffic flow. The request may indicate one or more traffic attributes associated with the requested traffic flow. The device may compare the one or more traffic attributes, included in the request, to the information associating the sets of traffic attributes with the respective sets of QoS parameters, identify a particular set of QoS parameters with which the traffic flow is associated, establish a communication session with a network based on the particular set of QoS parameters, communicate traffic, associated with the traffic flow, with the network via the established communication session. The device may include an application programming interface (“API”) via which an application associated with the traffic flow may specify the traffic attributes in the request.

Abstract: A system may include one or more devices configured to register a camera device with a core network; assign the camera device to a subscription of a user equipment (UE) device registered with the core network; and assign the camera device to an uplink streaming network slice. The one or more devices may be further configured to assign an uplink streaming video Quality of Service (QOS) class to a data flow sent from the camera device to the core network, wherein the uplink streaming video QoS class guarantees at least one video streaming QoS parameter; and establish the data flow from the camera device to a destination device via the uplink streaming network slice based on the uplink streaming video QoS class.

Abstract: A device, such as a User Equipment (“UE”), may identify that the device is communicatively coupled to a wireless network via a particular network slice. The particular network slice may be associated with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”), or the like. The UE may determine the particular network slice based on a slice identifier provided by a network interface of the device, based on attributes of traffic sent or received via the wireless network, and/or based on attributes of a wireless connection between the device and the wireless network. The device may identify a slice indicator associated with the particular network slice, and may present the slice indicator via a user interface of the device. The presented slice indicator may notify a user of the device that the particular network slice is being used for traffic sent or received via the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable dynamic in-app subscriptions and controls for network slices. A user device receives a command to launch an application and identifies a preferred network slice for the application. The application determines that a network services subscription for the user device does not include the preferred network slice and obtains consent, from a user of the user device, to add the preferred network slice to the network services subscription. The user device receives, from a provider network, authorization for using the preferred network slice by the application and initiates a network session on the preferred network slice.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide for multiple levels of authentication, such that a User Equipment (“UE”) may receive secure content from an application server, which may include or may be implemented by a multi-access edge computing (“MEC”) system. As described herein, a user associated with a UE may register the UE and/or a particular application with an authentication system and/or the application server. The registration of the UE and/or the application may establish a “trust” relationship between the authentication system and the UE, such that a user-level authentication performed by the UE, such as biometric authentication, may be accepted by the authentication system and/or the application system as an authentication of the user.

Abstract: A system described herein may use automated techniques, such as machine learning techniques, to analyze device snapshots from a group of User Equipment (“UEs”), and determine trouble conditions that are experienced by the UEs. The system may identify markers of the trouble conditions based on the snapshots, and may use these markers to predict or identify trouble conditions at other UEs based on snapshots received from the other UEs. Further, once a trouble condition is predicted or identified at the other UEs, the trouble condition may be proactively addressed, without requiring an explicit request from the other UEs to address the trouble condition.

Abstract: A system described herein may maintain information associating one or more tokens to one or more network slices associated with a network. The system may receive a request, from an application executing at a User Equipment (“UE”), for communication session information, where the request includes a particular token. The system may identify a particular network slice associated with the particular token based on the information associating the one or more tokens to the one or more network slices. The system may receive communication session information, associated with the particular network slice, from the network, and may provide the communication session information to the application. The application may use the communication session information to communicate with the network via the particular network slice. The application may use such communication session information without providing an application identifier to the network.
