Access control for network slices of a wireless communication system

A base station for a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of logical radio access networks, wherein the base station is configured to communicate with a plurality of users to be served by the base station for accessing one or more of the logical radio access networks, and the base station is configured to selectively control the physical resources of the wireless communication network assigned to the logical radio access networks and/or to control access of the users or user groups to one or more of the logical radio access networks, wherein, during a first operation mode of the wireless communication network, the base station is configured to allow access of users or user groups of one or more of the logical radio access networks (e.g., eMBB, URLLC, eMTC), and wherein, during a second operation mode of the wireless communication network, the base station is configured to adaptively limit access of users or user groups to one or more of the logical radio access networks, and/or adaptively reduce a number of enabled logical radio access networks.

Channel state information configuration and reporting for ultra reliable low latency communication

The present disclosure provides techniques configuring channel state information (CSI) reporting for certain service types, such as the ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) service type. In some cases, a UE may obtain information regarding a first set of channel state information (CSI) reporting configurations for a first service type separate from a second set of CSI reporting configurations for a second service type, receive a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a CSI report for the first service type on at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), generate at least one CSI report for the first service type based on one of the first set of CSI reporting configurations selected based on a field in the DCI, and transmitting the CSI report for the first service type on the PUSCH.

Mitigation of cyberattacks on cellular devices

A pause command is sent to a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card of a cellular device in response to detecting a cyberattack against the cellular device on the cellular network. To mitigate the cyberattack, the SIM card temporarily disconnects the cellular device from the cellular network for a pause time. The SIM card prohibits the cellular device from connecting to the cellular network during the pause time and automatically allows the cellular device to reconnect to the cellular network after the pause time.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION WITH DEVICE PINNING

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a method performed by a Wireless Communication Device (WCD) for securing wireless communication. The method includes obtaining a configuration descriptive of network entity(s) comprising (a) Legitimate Network Entity (LNE(s)); (b) or Illegitimate Network Entity (INE(s)); or (c) both LNE(s) and INE(s). The method includes determining that a trigger condition for applying the configuration has occurred. The method includes, responsive to making the determination, applying the configuration to the WCD such that connection related procedure(s) of the WCD related to connection between the WCD and the network entity(s) are adjusted in such a manner that the WCD is permitted to connect to only the LNE(s), not permitted to connect to the INE(s), both permitted to connect to only the LNE(s) and not permitted to connect to the INE(s), or not permitted to connect to any network entity.

SERVICE PROFILE IDENTIFIER (SPID) BASED NETWORK TRANSITION TECHNIQUE WITH USER EQUIPMENT (UE) REPORTING
20230055643 · 2023-02-23 ·

A mobile network operator (MNO) base station, e.g., an eNB, instructs a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) user equipment (UE) to monitor to detect signals from base stations in its MVNO network and to report back the results. If the UE reports to the MNO base station, that it has detected signals from base stations, e.g. CBSDs, in its MVNO, the MNO base station applies one or more rules included in a stored Service Profile Identifier, corresponding to the UE, the applying of the one or more rules causes the MNO base station to disconnect or deny service to the UE. Alternatively, when it is determined that the UE did not detect a signal from a base station, e.g. a CBSD, in its MVNO, then the MNO base station provides communications service to the UE.
