A method and system of detecting a delinquent mobile user device. An international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of a subscriber identity module (SIM) card of the user device is determined by the user device. The IMSI is sent to a Remote Recovery Server (RRS). A message is received from the RRS as to whether the IMSI is authorized for the user device. Upon determining that the IMSI is not authorized for the user device, a notification is displayed on a display of the user device.

This application provides example methods, systems, and devices for performing charging on a network resource. One example method includes sending, by a network slice charging function device, a first message to a network slice management function device, where the first message includes an identifier of a network slice instance and filtering information, the filtering information indicates the network slice management function device to send a value that is of a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance and that matches the filtering information, and the network slice performance indicator describes network performance of the network slice instance. The network slice charging function device can then receive a second message from the network slice management function device, where the second message includes the value. The network slice charging function device can then perform charging on the network slice instance based on the value.

Implementation of an application rule for an application to be accessed by a User Equipment, UE, in a user session in a Service Based Architecture, SBA, domain in a core network of a telecommunications system is disclosed. The SBA, among others, comprises a Policy Control Function, PCF (6), an Application Function, AF (5), and a Session Management Function, SMF (9). The method comprising the steps of receiving, by the PCF (6), an application rule comprising an AF Identifier, AF-ID, identifying the application rule, an Application Identifier, App-ID, identifying the application, and at least one service requirement for processing the application in the SBA domain. The PCF (6) instructing the SMF (9) to execute the at least one service requirement to all present and future user sessions pertaining to the respective application. Complementary methods of supporting the execution of the application rule and devices are also presented.

A method for subscriber tier plan adjustment including: monitoring traffic flow for one or more subscriber of a plurality of subscribers on an operator’s network; determining a bandwidth requirement for each of the one or more subscribers; determining a recommended tier plan for each subscriber based on the subscribers’ bandwidth requirement; and providing the recommended tier plan for each of the subscribers to a network operator. A system for subscriber tier plan adjustment including: a learning module configured to monitor traffic flow for one or more subscribers of a plurality of subscribers on a network and determine a bandwidth requirement of each of the one or more subscribers; an analysis module configured to determine a recommended tier plan for each of the subscribers based on each subscriber’s bandwidth requirement; and a notification module configured to provide the recommended tier plan for each subscriber.

Detecting fraudulent activity can be a complex, manual process. In this paper, we adapt statistical properties of count data in a novel algorithm to uncover records exhibiting high risk for fraud. Our method identifies shelves, partitioning data under the counts using a Student's t-distribution. We apply this methodology on a univariate dataset including cumulative results from phone calls to a customer service center. Additionally, we extend this technique to multivariate data, illustrating that the same method is applicable to both univariate and multivariate data.

The present invention discloses methods and systems for communicating at a cellular router between a first wireless communication module and a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The cellular router receives a first request from a first wireless communication module and encapsulates the first request in a first modified request. The cellular router then sends the first modified request to a first SIM card in a first communication apparatus and waits for a first modified reply. While waiting for the first modified reply the cellular router sends at least one halt message to the first wireless communication module after a first time threshold. After receiving the first modified reply, the cellular router decapsulates the first modified reply to retrieve a first reply and sends the first reply to the first wireless communication module where the first modified reply is a reply to the first modified request.

Provided are an electronic management device and method for wireless communication, and a computer-readable medium. The electronic management device comprises a processing circuit configured to: determine a first distribution attribute of an electronic spectrum acquisition device within a first region where the electronic management device is used as a reference point, and for spectrums to be traded within the scope of management of the electronic management device, determine a second distribution attribute of the electronic spectrum acquisition device within a second region where an electronic spectrum provision device for spectrums is used as a reference point, so as to manage spectrum trading on the basis of the first distribution attribute and the second distribution attribute.

A communication device for use in a system including a database storing a unique identifier and position information for every mobile communication terminal is provided with an acquisition unit that acquires, based on the unique identifier of a mobile communication terminal serving as a communication destination, the position information of the mobile communication terminal serving as the communication destination from the database, and acquires an IP address of a router accommodating the mobile communication terminal serving as the communication destination, based on the acquired position information, and a communication unit that transmits a packet having the IP address in a header.

A server of a fifth generation (5G) network can provide substantially real-time charges for a UE during fallback to another network. A Telephony Application Server (TAS) in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) can identify Evolved Packet System Fallback (EPSFB) and report the EPSFB to a charging system to cause the charging system to generate accurate charges for user equipment communicating over the 5G network and the other network. The TAS can comprise logic to identify a change in P-Access-Network-Information associated with each network, and generate a call detail records for billing, or real-time communication via an online charging and/or offline charging for the served UE. Information (a user profile, call detail records, instance of EPSFB, etc.) associated with the TAS can be used to make network improvements that decrease instances of EPSFB and increase an amount of new radio services available to UEs.
