Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system detects user equipment (UE) in communication with a network via a serving cell of the network; the network is configured to facilitate communications by one or more terrestrial UEs and one or more aerial UEs. The system monitors messages from an aerial UE regarding detection of a cell other than the serving cell, and receives information from the aerial UE regarding the detected cell. The method further includes analyzing the information to estimate a first quantity associated with the detected cell location relative to the serving cell and a second quantity associated with a power received at the aerial UE from the detected cell. The method also includes determining, based on the analyzing, whether the aerial UE is an unauthorized aerial UE. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A device and system to disable a driver from texting and being distracted during driving a vehicle, this disable a driver from texting and being distracted by combining a blocking signal component from an ECM of an engine or a discrete electronic blocking device to notify the cellphone application that the vehicle engine is functioning and operation movement is occurring with at least one blocking application that signals the cellphone to block all incoming and outgoing communication signals to a set of temporarily unwanted cellphone applications and functions but still leaving a set of emergency applications working and available for use; the device also has a manner of communicating to the blocked application which are temporarily disabled and way to clear and re-enable the applications when the period is done.

A mechanism is provided to monitor and control the number of terminals (100) or number of PDU sessions for a network slice, or both. A new network function called the Network Slice Control Function (NSCF) (85) is defined that interacts with an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) (40) and/or Session Management Function (SMF) (45) to monitor and control a number of users for a network slice, a number of PDU sessions for a network slice, or both. The NSCF (85) determines per slice quotas for the number of users and/or number of session for network slices and interacts with the AMF (40) and/or SMF (45) to enforce the quotas.

The present systems, devices, and methods generally relate to controlling wearable displays during vehicle operation, and particularly to detecting when a user is operating a vehicle and restricting operation of a wearable display to prevent the user from being distracted. At least one processor of a wearable display system receives user context data from at least one user context sensor, and determines whether the user is operating a vehicle based on the user context data. If the user is operating a vehicle, presentation of at least one user interface is restricted. Unrestricted access can be restored by inputting an unlock input to override the restriction, or by analysis of additional user context data at a later time.

A method for managing wireless device communications including establishing active, persistent, and repetitive communications with a wireless device operating in a coverage area of a local wireless network. In an example, the local wireless network is an overlay to a portion of a macro wireless network. The repetitive communications include placing a call to the wireless device, completing a call connection to the wireless device, sending a message to the wireless device, receiving and processing a response to the message from the wireless device, and persistently repeating a call function of the placing a call, completing a connection, sending a response, and receiving and processing the response until a specified termination event. In an example, the termination event is a power off of the wireless device.

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.
