Abstract: According to various embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein can utilize a blocking service to prevent malfunctioning NF instances from being discovered by consumer NF instances in discovery requests within a wireless network (e.g., a 5G network). The blocking service can be integrated into an NRF of the wireless network and can be used to add a malfunctioning NF instance to a block list. Additionally, the blocking service can prevent any malfunctioning NF instance on the block list from being returned to a consumer NF instance during a discovery request. When an NF producer instance is determined to be malfunctioning and subsequently added to the block list, the blocking service can trigger a notification to be sent to an NF consumer instance that is utilizing the affected NF producer instance. Upon receipt of this notification, the NF producer instance can cease its consumption of the malfunctioning producer NF instance.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of testing MMS messaging capacity of a wireless network using commercially available client devices. An exemplary method includes receiving, at a multimedia messaging service center (MMSC) of the wireless network, a plurality of seed MMS messages from one or more client devices. Each of the plurality of seed MMS messages is targeted at one of a plurality of destination numbers, none of the plurality of destination numbers is associated with any database that the MMSC uses for routing determination, and each of the plurality of seed MMS messages gets stuck in an infinite loop and keeps generating MMS messages. The method further includes capturing at least a portion of the seed messages and the generated MMS messages; determining that the number of captured MMS messages reaches a predetermined number; and in response to such determination, terminating each of the infinite loops.

Abstract: A disclosed method may include (i) disposing a network access table gateway between a multimedia service center within a cellular service network and a telecommunications server of an external wireless network provider that has partnered with the cellular service network, (ii) receiving, at the network access table gateway, a network packet that was sent from the telecommunications server of the external wireless network provider and that is directed to a public Internet Protocol address of the network access table gateway, and (iii) routing, by referencing a network access table of the network access table gateway, the network packet to a destination within the cellular service network. Related systems and computer-readable mediums are further disclosed.

Abstract: A cellular telecommunication system application server (AS), such as the short message service center (SMSC) or Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC), obtains a cellular network subscriber UE location information from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of the cellular telecommunication system. The system determines whether the cellular network subscriber UE is roaming based on the UE location information obtained from the HSS. The system populates the location information obtained from the HSS into a call data record (CDR) of the UE and determines whether the cellular network subscriber UE is roaming based on the location information obtained from the HSS populated into the CDR. The system supports location-based services of the UE based on UE location information obtained from the HSS both while the UE is on a home cellular network and while the UE is roaming.
