Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for configuring route selection policies. A user device may send, to a computing device, a route selection policy request to update route selection policy rules for applications and/or services of the user device. The computing device may determine the route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services based on various criteria. The computing device may send the determined route selection policy rules to the user device. If the user device does not accept the determined route selection policy rules, the user device may send, to the computing device, a negotiation request to obtain other route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services.

Aspects described herein relate to various methods, systems and apparatuses that can be used to configure and manage a network slice based on billing rate information. By selecting a network slice based on billing rate information, the system may further be able to respond to billing rate changes by reselecting network slices. For example, changes in the usage of the network slice or the usage of the overall network infrastructure may cause a change to a billing rate associated with the network slice. These aspects, and others described herein, may result in improved network performance by, for example, offloading extra usage from an overloaded network slice to a network slice that is currently less used.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing access to data objects in cloud storage. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises storing, by a processor, a data object in a storage device of a cloud storage service for a duration of time, wherein the data object is accessible to a plurality of user accounts. The method comprises extending the duration of time for retaining the data object on the storage device to a first extended duration when a degree of access of the data object by the plurality of user accounts meets a target threshold value during the duration of time. The method further comprises extending the duration of time for retaining the data object on the storage device to a second extended duration when the degree of access does not meet the target threshold value during the duration of time.

Embodiments herein may include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system. An apparatus for MEC may include a communication interface, a local cost measurements module, and a service allocation module. The communication interface may receive, from a UE, a request for a service to be provided to the UE. The local cost measurements module may collect a set of local cost measurements for the service. The service allocation module may determine to allocate the service to a MEC host based on an allocation policy related to a cost for the MEC host to provide the service or a cost for a service provider to provide the service in view of the one or more local cost measurements. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A system and method in various embodiments implements a virtual spectrum band stacking technique facilitating spectrum sharing by converting and combining spectrum bands consisting of several different RF channels, common air interfaces, and radio channel protocols in the radio frequency channel domain to form IP Virtual Radio Channels (IP-VRCs) in the packet data domain. This virtual spectrum stacking technique combines the transmissions of contiguous and non-contiguous RF channels with differing physical layers into IP-VRCs. This technique enables simultaneous parallel high-speed wireless transmission; virtual radio channel hopping for enhanced security; and customized security schemes for different IP-VRC Groups. The deployment of the combination of IP-VRC Groups; Universal “Small Cell” Base Stations; and Universal Wireless End-Point Devices allows the aggregation of all available spectrum bands for use within a building environment. Some benefits of this deployment include expansion of spectrum utilization, service quality, security, applications and transmission throughput for wireless end-point devices.

Provided are a method and apparatus for providing a big data analysis service, and a computer readable storage medium. The method for providing a big data analysis service includes: generating, by network data analytics, big data information according to network operation and maintenance data, and sending the big data information to an application through a network exposure function.

The present application describes a user equipment including a processor and a memory, where the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the user equipment to perform a set of instructions. The instructions include transmitting, to a network, a message requesting to modify or establish flow that is not to be charged to the user equipment. The instructions also include receiving, from the network, an indication based on the message request. The instructions further include determining, based on the indication, whether to make the flow being associated with the message.

System and methods are disclosed that improve the speed, efficiency and usefulness of providing telecommunication service by computerized telecommunication service. In some embodiments, systems and methods described herein enable a user to receive the telecommunication service to a mobile device of the user, such as by adding data service, minutes and/or text messages to the prepaid plan, in response to having an advertisement played on or otherwise delivered via the mobile device. An ad may be displayed or otherwise played on the mobile device or inserted into messages sent by the user via the mobile device for the user to received minutes, data or texts added to their prepaid plan. The service carrier may split compensation received from an advertiser for playing an ad on a customer's device between the service carrier and the customer.

The present invention relates to a method of providing a contactless laundry service including executing an application of a contactless laundry service, receiving a charge system of the contactless laundry service from a user, latching, by the user, a laundry container, into which laundry is put, for the contactless laundry service, and performing, by the user, a collection request using a collection request button of the application.

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.
