Abstract

The present teaching relates to AI-enabled auto-heal of network cells. Bundled embedding models are obtained, via machine learning, based on historic records representing knowledge on past dynamics of a network. Each of the bundled embedding models captures a respective aspect of the past network dynamics. When temporal data is received with real time observations of the network operation, metrics on the performance thereof, and a point of failure, embeddings of the temporal data relating to the point of failure are derived, based on the bundled embedding models, and used to generate, by time series forecasting, a recommendation on an auto-heal resolution. When performance information of the network associated with the point of failure is received, it is used for online learning of learnable parameters associated with the time series forecasting.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that involves a state machine for multi-threaded, multi-step task extraction that is configured to operate by implementing a suite of tables and corresponding views that do not require any updates and/or data copying, which allows for additional states being adopted for disparate processing regimes. The state machine enables insertions of transactional usage records into several tables in a data warehousing environment, where jobs in the table can be configured to identify the job name along with other key information for how to process such job, as well as information related to what kind of identifier (ID) to use and rules for retry and/or error handling. The framework allows multiple threads to work on subsets of data in a single table and update the status of many records while they are in-flight.

Abstract

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide an enhanced access and mobility policy service. A network device in a visited network receives a roaming request to connect to the visited network for a user equipment (UE) device. The network device determines, based on a first access and mobility (AM) policy association request, whether a home network for the UE device has a subscriber-specific roaming policy. When the home network for the UE device has a subscriber-specific roaming policy the network device sends a second AM policy association request to the home network; receives, from the home network, the AM policy for the roaming UE device; and sends an AM policy association response to the first AM policy association request.

Abstract

A system described herein may identify a plurality of radio Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) associated with a plurality of User Equipment (“UEs”) that are connected to a radio access network (“RAN”). Each radio KPI may be associated with wireless communications between a respective UE and the RAN. The system may identify a plurality of service categories associated with the plurality of UEs, wherein each particular UE is associated with a respective service category. The system may determine, based on the radio KPIs and the service category associated with each UE of the plurality of UEs, a respective priority weight for each UE. The system may schedule traffic, between the RAN and the plurality of UEs, based on the determined priority weights for the plurality of UEs.

Abstract

A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to a coordinated domain-based L4S service. The service may enable end-to-end congestion control based on a predetermined order of domains, which are associated with L4S devices that support a packet flow, for which congestion control responses are to be provided. The service may provide independent feedback loops of state information from each domain and associated L4S device. The feedback loops may operate on different timescales. The service may coordinate congestion control among domains of an end-to-end path that support the packet flow and prevent fragmented or contentious congestion control responses between the domains.

IPC Classes  ?

  • H04L 47/263 - Rate modification at the source after receiving feedback
  • H04L 47/2466 - Traffic characterised by specific attributes, e.g. priority or QoS using signalling traffic
  • H04W 28/02 - Traffic management, e.g. flow control or congestion control

Abstract

A device may maintain, as a member of a two blockchain networks respective first and second blockchains. The first blockchain may include one or more sets of operations, and the second blockchain may include cross-chain authorization information. The device may identify a request to invoke a particular set of operations included in the first blockchain, where the request includes a set of input parameters and an identifier. The device may determine that the identifier satisfies the cross-chain authorization information included in the second blockchain, and may accordingly communicate with the second blockchain network to execute the particular set of operations. Executing the particular set of operations may include generating a set of output parameters. The device may output the set of output parameters in response to the request.

Abstract

A device may include a processor configured to collect user behavior data associated with a user equipment (UE) device and determine a user behavior pattern for the UE device based on the collected user behavior data. The processor may be further configured to generate a policy in a core network for the UE device based on the determined user behavior pattern for the UE device, wherein the core network manages a communication session for the UE device via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and provide the generated policy to a Policy Control Function (PCF) in the core network to apply to the communication session for the UE device.
