A context-aware network service engine is employed to support integrated network. In one aspect, the network service engine can receive a message associated with the user's intent and/or situation via a standard and/or open application programming interface (API). Based on an analysis of the message with context data and/or defined policy data, the network service engine can establish procedures to provide integrated services. The integrated services can comprise multiple communication services that are initiated simultaneously (or substantially simultaneously) in response to receiving the message. As an example, the context data can comprise user-related data, real-time network resource availability, presence data, and the like. As an example, the network services can be initiated concurrently and/or in a specified order.

Intent-based service engine for a 5G or other next generation mobile core network

A programmable network architecture that employs a software based, modular functional infrastructure with standard interfaces is utilized for mobile core networks. In one aspect, network services and/or functions can be built and addressed as resources that are configured and/or accessed with standard and/or open application program interfaces (APIs). The disclosed network architecture provides real-time and on-demand network configurations and dynamic service provisioning.

Resource based framework to support service programmability for a 5G or other next generation mobile core network

A device includes a first network connection for connecting to a wireless local area network, a processor communicatively coupled to the first network connection, and a display communicatively coupled to the processor. The device includes memory storing instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations. The operations include receiving, via the first network connection, a WEA message comprising an alert and an indication of a geographic area associated with the alert and causing the display to render an alert indication based at least on the WEA message.

Wi-Fi communication of wireless emergency alerts

A mobile device may be configured with multiple receivers (e.g., a cellular receiver, a broadcast receiver such as FM, AM, DTV, a satellite receiver, a NWR receiver, etc.). Upon receipt of an emergency alert message via at least one of the receivers, the mobile device, via an application installed on the mobile device, may extract the emergency alert message from a data channel of the broadcast. The mobile device, via the application, may process the extracted emergency alert message to determine if the emergency alert message is to be rendered via the device. And, if the emergency alert message is to be rendered, the mobile device, via the application, may format the extracted emergency alert message to conform to a standard format (e.g., Commercial Mobile Alert System, CMAS, format).

Receiving an emergency alert message via a broadcast data channel

Example embodiments relate to a user equipment that can receive a cellular broadcast message comprising a data element identifying the cellular broadcast message as a wireless emergency alert. The network address information (e.g., URL) can identify a network location associated with multimedia content to be transmitted to the user equipment, the multimedia content stored at a repository associated with a server device. The user equipment can, in response to detecting that the cellular broadcast message comprises the data element, send a content request to the server device associated with the network location identified by the network address information, and subsequently it can receive the multimedia content from the server device and provide the multimedia content via a graphical user interface displayed on a screen of the user equipment.

Providing multimedia wireless emergency alerts

A more efficient wireless network can utilize network elements, a service controller, and agents associated with the network elements. Each network element can publish state information and resource information so that other network elements and the service controller can readily identify which network element has available resources. Therefore, each network element can be a resource consumer and a resource provider. Additionally, the network elements can register with the service controller and/or allow agents to act on their behalf in order to generate a more efficient network.

Facilitation of session state data management

Internet of thing (IoT) endpoints may be enabled to serve as a limited or wide-area public warning device.

Selective audio visual element public warning

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for separating sensitive data from mobile devices for theft prevention. According to one aspect, a system includes a data security platform and a mobile device platform. The mobile device platform can detect that the data security platform is connected. The mobile device platform can determine whether the data security platform is part of an authenticated pair with the mobile device platform. In response to determining that the data security platform is part of an authenticated pair with the mobile device platform, the mobile device platform can access at least a portion of sensitive data that is stored in a memory component of the data security platform. If the data security platform is disconnected from the mobile device platform, the mobile device platform cannot function or can provide limited functionality, such as a function to communication with a 9-1-1 service.

Separating sensitive data from mobile devices for theft prevention

Wireless communications services on a wireless communications device are selectively restricted in accordance with a location of the wireless device and specific permission and/or restrictions assigned to the wireless device while within/at the location. Services can be selectively blocked (denied), selectively modified, or selectively allowed on a wireless device based on lists indicating permissibility for specific services for specific devices at/within specific locations. A location can be a zone of coverage of a cellular tower, micro/pico/Femto cell or wireless access point, a sector of a zone of coverage, a geographic region within a zone of coverage, or any appropriate combination thereof.

Selected restriction of wireless communication services

Systems, methods, and apparatuses may use an unmanned vehicle to communicate an alert, such as an emergency alert, to a region, such as one affected by a natural disaster. A method may include receiving a message, which may comprise an alert and information associated with a region, from an alert originator. The message may then be transmitted, via a communication access device, to an unmanned vehicle. After receiving the message, the unmanned vehicle may travel to the region. Upon reaching the region, the unmanned vehicle may communicate the alert, whereby individuals' reception devices within the region may receive the alert.

Communicate an alert via an unmanned vehicle

Items are sold via a wireless mobile telecommunications network in which multimedia presentations describing items offered for sale are broadcast for reception by wireless mobile devices. Users of the devices can transmit responses indicating requests to buy the items or bid for them in auctions.

System and method for selling items via a wireless mobile telecommunications system

An indication of the location of multimedia information for an emergency alert is distributed via text based protocols such as a Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) and/or a Short Message Service (SMS). Multimedia information can include maps, graphics, video clips, audio clips, still pictures, and the like. A text based alert message along with an indication of the location of the associated multimedia is distributed to users. The indication can comprise a link to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or the like, from which the multimedia can be retrieved. The indication can comprise a pointer to a link. For example, the alert message can comprise an address in storage of a user device, and the address can contain the link to the URL. Further, the multimedia can be retrieved automatically or manually.
