Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, facilitating communication sessions such as voice calls over a plurality of radios of the wireless PBX via one or more carriers, where the wireless PBX includes a plurality of Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) and a plurality of radios, wherein there are a maximum number of concurrent communication sessions permitted that are fewer than a number of the plurality of SIMs; determining that the maximum number of concurrent communication sessions has been reached; and responsive to reaching the maximum number of concurrent communication sessions, facilitating establishing an outgoing voice call via a WiFi connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and device for managing multiple wireless connections sharing a limited trunk group

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving first user-generated input, over a communication network, from a communication device that indicates a request to provision a ghost software application on the communication device, and provisioning, over the communication network, an anchor software application on a subscriber identity module (SIM) associated with the ghost software application. Further embodiments can include receiving second user-generated input, over the communication network, from the communication device that indicates request to utilize the ghost software application, and identifying the anchor software application provisioned on the SIM of the communication device resulting in an identification. Additional embodiments can include provisioning, over the communication network, the ghost software application onto the communication network based on the identification, and removing the ghost software application from a server/database/device in which it was previously stored. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and devices for migrating a ghost software application over a network with subscriber identity module (SIM) authentication

A system may use information obtained by a communication service provider's core network for multi-factor authentication.

Core network transformation authenticator

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain network traffic data associated with an independent gateway that is connected to a telecommunication network, apply an input data set associated with the network traffic data of the independent gateway to at least a first detection model implemented by the processing system for detecting fake network usage, and may determine the fake network usage associated with the independent gateway from the input data set associated with the network traffic data of the independent gateway via the at least the first detection model. The processing system may then generate an alert of the fake network usage associated with the independent gateway, where the alert is generated in response to the determining.

Fake network-utilization detection for independent cellular access points

Intelligent hologram communication continuity (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. A method can comprise: determining, by a device comprising a processor, a context associated with a live interaction, wherein the live interaction is associated with a user profile and transmitted via a network; determining, by the device, hardware data representative of hardware associated with transmission of the live interaction via the network; in response to a hardware criterion being determined to be threshold satisfied by the hardware data, generating, by the device, using a hologram generation model and based on the context, a synthetic hologram associated with the live interaction, wherein the hologram generation model has been generated based on machine learning applied to past context data representative of past contexts of past live interactions associated with the user profile, from prior to the live interaction; and transmitting, by the device, the synthetic hologram instead of the live interaction.

Hologram communication continuity

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example analyzing emergency communications that were transmitted from end user devices; determining that a group of the emergency communications that corresponds to a group of the end user devices is associated with an emergency event; extracting descriptions of the emergency event from the group of the emergency communications; retrieving mapping data of a location associated with the emergency event; and generating a graphical representation of the emergency event based on a machine learning model being applied to the mapping data and the descriptions, where the machine learning model is trained on historical emergency events. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and system for providing synthetic emergency scene reconstruction

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to autonomous vehicle pairing management. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a fleet pairing management application executed by a processor of an autonomous vehicle can initiate a fleet pairing process with a plurality of other autonomous vehicles, each of which can execute one of a plurality of other fleet pairing management applications. The fleet pairing management application can send, over a network, an initiate network pairing request to the plurality of other autonomous vehicles. The fleet pairing management application can receive a confirm network pairing response from at least one other autonomous vehicle of the plurality of other autonomous vehicles. A fleet can then be established. The fleet can include the autonomous vehicle and the at least one other autonomous vehicle of the plurality of other autonomous vehicles. The autonomous vehicles in the fleet can then share data among the fleet.

Autonomous vehicle pairing management

Prioritization and selection of signals and associated cells can be managed. User equipment module (UEM) of user equipment (UE) can determine a context associated with a communication session based on analyzing usage behavior information relating to usage behavior, and profile information relating to a profile, associated with the UE. The profile information can be determined by a core module based on information relating to the network or previous communication sessions. Based on analysis results, including context, UEM can determine a characteristic, other than signal strength, that can be more heavily weighted over other characteristics associated with UE or network to facilitate determining which cell, of a cell group, the UE is to connect to for the communication session. UEM can determine and select the cell of the cell group to which the UE is to connect, based on the context and the highest weighted characteristic.
