Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for low power consumption geofencing are provided. During a learning phase, a model is generated to determine whether a device is within a geofence. In response to receiving a first lookup location request, location identification logic is used to determine a first device location and a determination is made as to whether the device is within the geofence. First radio signal information associated with determining the first device location is recorded within a training data structure used to create the model. In response to receiving a second lookup location request after the learning phase, the model is used to determine whether the device is within the geofence. An output by the model is used if a confidence level is above a threshold, otherwise, the location identification logic is used.

Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for low power consumption geofencing are provided. Location determination facilities used during a past number of device location lookups over a timeframe are tracked. If a geofence is actively set and movement of a device has triggered execution of location identification logic, then a determination is made as to whether a particular location determination facility was used during the past number of device location lookups over the timeframe. If the particular location determination facility was used during the past number of device location lookups over the timeframe, then an original sequence of location determination facilities attempted by the location identification logic is modified to create a modified sequence of location determination facilities used to determine a current device location of the device. Otherwise, the original sequence of location determination facilities is used to determine the current device location of the device.

Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for locating subscriber information are provided. When a trigger event occurs within a communication network (e.g., a network outage where a provisioning component is unable to provision a subscriber with a subscriber location service), the subscriber location service is transitioned from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation. While in the second mode of operation, the subscriber location service responds to requests from a network repository service with an indicator when a subscriber cannot be found. The indicator triggers the network repository service to select and recommend one or more data stores of subscriber information for a network function to attempt for accessing the subscriber information. The network repository service may provide retry instructions to the network function for retrying the attempts to access the subscriber information one or more times.

Abstract

Systems and methods described herein provide new parameters for RAN configurations to manage network slices. A network device stores definitions for multiple mode parameters for a central unit (CU) of a radio access network (RAN), wherein each mode parameter defines a section of the CU that provides a relative performance level for a slice subnet over the RAN. The network device receives a slice configuration request for a network slice that identifies one of the multiple mode parameters and instantiates the network slice to operate over the section of the CU that is associated with the identified one of the multiple mode parameters. Additionally, a slice anti-affinity (SA) parameter is provided to selectively isolate network slices and improve slice reliability within the RAN.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a network framework for managing network elements (NEs) of a wireless/cellular and wireline network. The framework enables the scaling of a quantity, diversity and availability of NEs on/within a network via secure, efficient handling of multiple connectivity protocols, management protocols and/or NE data models. The framework can operate to provide a newly configured microservice architecture for the performance of NE management that is based on the specifics of NE types and/or NE protocols. Such architecture can operate as a collection (e.g., cluster) of microservices (or components) that can be independently scaled and can enable services to communicate with one another at the service level. The disclosed framework provides customized service technologies for each component/service in a configured manner so as to cluster services to specific needs/requests of each NE.

Abstract

An illustrative UE locator system determines a time measurement indicative of a signal travel time between a UE device and an access point device. The signal travel time corresponds to an apparent distance, presuming a line-of-sight (LoS) signal travel path, between a location of the UE device and a location of the access point device. The UE locator system also accesses, from a bias suppression datastore, bias suppression data configured for use in suppressing an influence of a bias between the apparent distance and a true distance between the location of the UE device and the location of the access point device. Based on the time measurement and the bias suppression data, the UE locator system estimates the location of the UE device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract

An illustrative model construction system may access object image data representative of one or more images depicting an object having a plurality of labeled keypoint features. Based on the object image dataset, the model construction system may generate a training target dataset including a plurality of training target images. Each training target image may be generated by selecting a background image distinct from the object image data, manipulating a depiction of the object represented within the object image data, and overlaying the manipulated depiction of the object onto the selected background image with the labeled keypoint features. Based on this training target dataset, the model construction system may train a machine learning model to recognize and estimate a pose of the object when the object is depicted in input images analyzed using the trained machine learning model. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract

A system may receive, by a first network device in an access network, a request to setup a radio access bearer (RAB) for use in establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE), wherein the request includes at least one Quality-of-Service (QOS) attribute associated with the request. The first network device may determine that the at least one QoS attribute is not supported by the access network and may send a notification that RAB setup has failed to a second network device in a core network, wherein the notification includes a cause indicator that indicates that the failure is caused by an unsupported QoS. In response, the core network may modify the request to include a default quality of service attribute that is supported by the access network and may send the modified request to the first network device.
