A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a privacy management service is provided. The privacy management service may be included in an in-home device. The privacy management service may multiple levels of privacy relating to traffic received from end devices that are connected to an external network via the in-home device. The privacy management service may include a smart speaker service. The privacy management service may allow a user to configure a privacy level of an end device. The privacy management service may include machine learning logic that may filter sensitive information included in received traffic.

Method and system for managing privacy of in-home devices

Systems and methods described herein provide an intelligent MEC resource scheduling service. A network device in a MEC network stores, in a memory, threshold values indicating overload conditions for resource usage by a first MEC cluster; monitors resource usage in the first MEC cluster; determines, based on the monitoring, when one of the threshold values is reached; identifies available resources in a second MEC cluster; and re-directs, based on the identifying, at least some of the resource usage from the first MEC cluster to the second MEC cluster.

Method and system for scheduling multi-access edge computing resources

A Next Generation network device receives, from a user equipment device (UE), a Service Request for establishing a Multimedia Priority Services (MPS) session. The Next Generation network device determines whether the Service Request includes a MPS fallback request to request network fallback from a Next Generation network to a Fourth Generation (4G) network for the MPS session. The device causes, based on the Service Request including the MPS fallback request, establishment of the MPS session from the UE device via the 4G network by performing one of: a handover procedure from the Next Generation network to the 4G network, or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) redirection procedure from the Next Generation network to the 4G network.

Network fallback for multimedia priority services

A device determines information concerning the device and sends the information concerning the device to a first device. The device receives, from the first device, information concerning a user device, and receives, from a second device, a request concerning the user device accessing the device. The request includes information identifying the device and information identifying the user device. The device generates a request response by validating the user device for access to the device based on the request and sends, to the second device, the request response to facilitate a communication session to be established between the user device and the device. The device communicates with the user device via the communication session.
