Abstract

A device may receive a trained model, training data utilized to train the trained model, and a query associated with generating counterfactuals, and may utilize a counterfactual model to generate counterfactuals for the trained model based on the training data and the query. The device may determine contextual parameters associated with ranking the counterfactuals, and may utilize a counterfactual ranking model to calculate a weighted metric based on the query, the counterfactuals, and the contextual parameters. The device may utilize the counterfactual ranking model to apply the weighted metric to the counterfactuals to generate ranked counterfactuals for the trained model, and may perform one or more actions based on the ranked counterfactuals.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) marking framework. The disclosed framework provides mechanisms for managing how network requests are handled, on the client and/or server side (e.g., prior to transmission over the network, and/or upon transmission for handling by a server, for example). The disclosed framework provides functionality for dynamically determining and applying DSCP marking that enables networks, and associated network components, to maintain a consistent and reliable network experience by computationally managing how network traffic is managed and transmitted by and between network components.

Abstract

In some implementations, a routing device may indicate, to a direct connect gateway in a cloud computing system, a default route, wherein the default route is propagated to a virtual network function (VNF) running in the cloud computing system. The routing device may create a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel between the VNF and the routing device based on the default route, wherein the GRE tunnel permits a direct peering between the VNF and a private network outside of the cloud computing system. The routing device may perform a routing between the VNF and the private network using the GRE tunnel.

Abstract

A clamp for supporting a wire from a strand includes a first clamp portion having a first inner side and a second clamp portion having a second inner side. An opening sized to receive the strand is defined between the first inner side and the second inner side when the first clamp portion is in proximity of the second clamp portion. The first inner side and the second inner side contact the strand when the strand is received within the opening to connect the clamp to the strand. A support portion is attached to the clamp such that the wire is supported from the strand via the clamp. A fastener cooperates with the clamp and is movable from a first position to a second position to inhibit a relative motion between the strand and the clamp.

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized, network-based framework that provides enhanced algorithmic mechanisms for improving GSM location determinations for cell tower communications. The disclosed framework's operations can provide improved visit determinations/estimates and increased value for a user's wireless/cellular data, whereby optimized parameters from and/or of the signals associated with a user device (e.g., mobile device) and tower radio communications therebetween can be leveraged to discern the POIs a user has visited and/or is currently visiting. The location tracking of the user, within a predisposed uncertainty sector correlated among the user's device communications with corresponding radio towers, provides network coverage to track specific locations among POIs for which the user has visited and/or is currently located.

Abstract

A base station determines a latency requirement of a user equipment device (UE), and receives latency measurements associated with multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors having coverage areas within a certain proximity to the base station. The base station measures a latency associated with a first cell or cell sector, having a coverage area generated by the base station, that is currently serving the UE. The base station triggers a mobility event for the UE, based on the UE's latency requirement, the measured latency of the first cell or cell sector, and the latency measurements associated with the multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors, to a selected one of the multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors.

The network device detects, based on the first and second parameters, a multicast opportunity for the application and provides, to an application server for the first UE device and the second UE device, a multicast target address to initiate multicast streaming to the first UE device and the second UE device.

Abstract

A network device determines at least one of throughput variation and latency variation associated with at least one flow transiting a network slice of a mobile network. The network device compares the at least one of the throughput variation and the latency variation with performance requirements of the network slice, and determines, based on the comparing, network slice resources needed for capacity planning of the network slice. The network device adds or removes network slice resources from the network slice based on the determined network slice resources.

Abstract

A device may include a processor configured to receive a data stream connection request via a WIFI connection or a wired connection and establish a cellular wireless connection with a base station based on the data stream connection request. The processor may be further configured to determine a cellular wireless Quality of Service (QOS) class or network slice assigned to the cellular wireless connection by a core network associated with the base station; map the cellular wireless QoS class or network slice to a priority class associated with the WIFI connection or the wired connection; assign the priority class to a data stream associated with the data stream connection request; and process data units associated with the data stream based on the assigned priority class.

Abstract

A system described herein may maintain information indicating groups of wireless trip devices. The system may maintain information associating each wireless trip device, of a plurality of wireless trip devices, with respective edge computing devices. The system may receive a wireless alert from a particular wireless trip device, which indicates an electrical fault condition. The system may identify a particular group of wireless trip devices with which the wireless alert is associated, and may identify a particular set of edge computing devices that are associated with respective wireless trip devices of the group of wireless trip devices. The system may output, to each edge computing device of the identified particular set of edge computing devices, a notification based on the wireless alert, and each edge computing device may wirelessly communicate respective wireless trip devices based on the wireless alert received from the particular wireless trip device.

Abstract

In some implementations, a server may receive a plurality of signal measurements associated with a coverage area, wherein the plurality of signal measurements are collected over a measurement period by a device within the coverage area while the device is associated with a fixed location. The server may identify a signal measurement from the plurality of signal measurements, wherein the signal measurement represents a baseline radio frequency (RF) environment for the coverage area without a threshold amount of interference or transient changes in the coverage area. The server may provide an output based on the baseline RF environment.
