A system information block (SIB) in a radio interface is dedicated to broadcast data intended for Internet of things (IoT) devices. The data can be associated with most any IoT service, such as but not limited to, a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and/or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service. In one aspect, data, associated with an event, that has been aggregated from one or more IoT devices located within a region can be analyzed to determine a geographical area where a message regarding the event (e.g., accident) is to be broadcast. Further, the message can be dynamically prioritized and/or customized to target a particular class of IoT devices (e.g., connected cars) by employing different message identifiers.

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to vehicle-to-everything ('V2X') certificate management. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a system can receive a CRL from a security credential management ('SCM') system. The CRL can identify one or more certificates that have been determined to be invalid, such as when the certificate(s) has expired. The certificate(s) can be utilized by a vehicle for secure communications, including vehicle-to-vehicle (&#x201c;V2V&#x201d;) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (&#x201c;V2I&#x201d;) (collectively V2X). The system can format the CRL as a cell broadcast message. The system can then create a cell broadcast request directed to a cell broadcast center (&#x201c;CBC&#x201d;). The cell broadcast request can include the CRL formatted as the cell broadcast message. The system can send the cell broadcast request to the CBC to instruct the CBC to broadcast the CRL as the cell broadcast message.

Wireless pairing is automatically performed based on a purchase of a wireless product. When the wireless product is purchased, a unique product identifier and/or an account number (such as a credit card number) may be used to obtain one or more corresponding wireless network security credentials. Once the wireless network security credentials are identified, the wireless product may be paired to a wireless network based on the wireless network security credentials.

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to vehicle event notification via cell broadcast. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a system can receive an event message in response to an event. The system can extract information associated with the event from the event message. The system can determine an area of relevance for the event. The system can create an event notification message. The event notification message can be formatted as a cell broadcast message to be broadcast to a cell serving at least a portion of the area of relevance.

Vehicle event notification via cell broadcast

Systems, methods, and apparatuses may allow a host device to facilitate communication from a guest device to a network, wherein the service usage charges that would ordinarily be charged against the host device account may be transferred to the guest device account. A method may include a host device connecting to a network. The host device may be associated with a first account. The host device may receive a connection from a guest device. The guest device may be associated with a second account. The host device may facilitate communication from the guest device to the network, wherein the facilitated communication from the guest device to the network may be a charge against the first account. The host device may provide instruction to the network to transfer the charge against the first account to the second account.

Communication service usage transfer

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes presenting a media content item at a communication device coupled to a network, and analyzing the media content item to determine a current desired cache size and to predict a future desired cache size for presentation of the media content item; the desired cache size varies during the presentation in accordance with properties of the media content item. The method further includes adjusting a cache of the communication device in accordance with the analyzing. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Wireless pairing is automatically performed based on purchase. By providing a unique identifier and/or account number (such as a credit card number), a wireless device is automatically paired to a wireless network. For example, when a smartphone or other mobile device is used to purchase an electronic door lock, the smartphone may be used to identify security credentials for accessing the wireless network. A cellular telephone number, for example, may reveal an SSID and/or a network password that is required to access a residential or business WI-FI network. As another example, a credit card number may also be used to identify the security credentials for the wireless network.

Wireless pairing is automatically performed based on purchase. By providing a unique identifier of a cellular customer, a wireless device may be automatically paired to a residential wireless network. A central database, for example, may store networking credentials associated with residential wireless networks. When the cellular customer purchases the wireless device, a server may query the central database for a cellular telephone number associated with the cellular customer. The server may thus retrieve the networking credentials that are associated with the cellular telephone number.

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to content sharing for mobile devices. In aspects, images that are created using mobile devices may be automatically uploaded to one or more targets. In addition, images created on the one or more targets may be automatically downloaded to the mobile device based on one or more criteria. A service facilitates transfer of images in both directions and includes a pluggable architecture in which forwarders for new targets may be added.
