A provider system is connected to readers disposed at distances from the provider system. A secure local connection is established between the client device and the provider system via one of the readers. Before the client reaches an access touchpoint, the provider system receives from the client device a request for client access, the provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client, and the client device sends client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified. The provider system performs a liveness check of the client using live-captured biometric information at the access touchpoint, determines whether the liveness check is valid, and grants the request if the liveness check is valid.

The technology relates to a technique for representing a unique physical asset such as a smartphone with a unique (singular) digital asset such as a non-fungible token (NFT). The NFT and related metadata can be stored on a blockchain to verify ownership of the digital asset. In one example, the NFT is produced based on a unique identifier (IMEI) for the smartphone. Other examples of physical assets with unique identifiers include automobiles, real property, etc.

Systems and methods of managing a plurality of Wi-Fi networks via a cloud service include communicating to a plurality of access points in the plurality of Wi-Fi networks, wherein the plurality of access points are deployed in a location that includes any of a multi-dwelling unit (MDU), office space, retail space, mixed-use space, and common areas; providing end user management access to a plurality of end users each associated with one of the plurality of Wi-Fi networks; providing property manager management access to a property manager associated with the location and with any additional locations; and providing service provider management access to a service provider associated with the location.

In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions for providing a mobile user monitoring solution that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to capture a first message transmitted over an N11 interface, extract at least one type of session ID and a first Next Generation Application Protocol (NGAP) tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) from the first message, store the at least one type of session ID and the first NGAP TEID in a first N11 protocol data unit (PDU) session record, capture a second message transmitted over an N3 interface, extract a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP)-user plane (U) TEID from the second message, wherein the GTP-U TEID matches the first NGAP TIED, and retrieve information associated with session details record using the GTP-U TEID.

Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to obtain, from a communications device, an identifier of the communications device transmitted via a communications network. The communications network may transmit a request for one or more parameters unique to a subscriber of the communications network. The method may also include processing signals indicative of the requested one or more parameters in response to the subscriber entering the one or more parameters into a graphical user interface of the communications device. The method may further include transmitting, to the communications device, one or more signals to provide a complement of subscriber parameters.

Embodiments are disclosed for encrypting media access control (MAC) Header fields for Wireless LAN (WLAN) privacy enhancement. For example, a transceiver of a station (STA) or an access point (AP) can set a real time Media Access Control (MAC) header bit in a payload of an aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU) subframe to an actual value of a power management (PM) field of a MAC header of the A-MPDU subframe. The transceiver can encrypt the payload, set the PM field to an over the air (OTA) PM value, and transmit the A-MPDU subframe over the air. The OTA PM value can include all zeros, a predetermined value, or a randomized value The transceiver can also set static MAC header bits in the payload of the A-MPDU subframe to corresponding actual values of an aggregated MAC service data unit (A-MSDU) present field of the A-MPDU subframe.

In various embodiments supporting directional security, a user equipment (UE) may receive from a network device a noise resource allocation including an indication of a noise direction and a noise parameter, generate a noise signal based at least in part on the noise parameter, and transmit the noise signal in the noise direction while transmitting a communication transmission signal in a different direction from the noise direction. In various embodiments, a network device may determine a geographic zone of interest, select one or more reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) associated with the geographic zone of interest, selecting one or more noise transmitting UEs, control the one or more noise transmitting UEs to transmit at least one noise signal, and control the one or more RISs to steer the at least one noise signal into the geographic zone of interest.
