Abstract: In some implementations, a first network function device included in a core network may receive an indication of a user data management (UDM) group identifier that is associated with a UDM network function device included in the core network. The first network function device may determine, based on the UDM group identifier, a user data repository (UDR) group identifier associated with a UDR network function device that is associated with the UDM network function device. The first network function device may transmit, to one or more second network function devices included in the core network, an indication of the UDR group identifier.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to extracting insightful phrases from an input text. Independent contexts are first identified from the input text. With respect to each independent context, initial candidate phrases are generated with respect to linguistic features and are then filtered. Various features are then computed for each filtered candidate phrase and used to select top k candidate phrases for each independent context. A most insightful phrase is then selected from the k top candidate phrases using deep learned models. Such selected most insightful phrases for the independent contexts are then used for facilitating an understanding the input text.

Abstract: A network device may receive, from a first user device, a first request for receiving a first service from a network, and may receive the first service from a first network slice and with first service attributes. The network device may provide the first service to the first user device with the first service attributes managed via control channels, and may receive, from a second user device, a second request for receiving a second service from the network. The network device may receive the second service from a second network slice with second service attributes, and may provide the second service to the second user device with the second service attributes via the control channels. The network device may modify, based on the first service attributes failing to satisfy a service attributes threshold, parameters for the control channels to prioritize the first user device over the second user device.

Abstract: A device may receive interference data identifying interference associated with sectors provided by base stations, and may filter interference data associated with sectors with passive intermodulation issues and sectors with alarms related to sectors' radio, from the interference data, to generate interference data for a set of sectors. The device may perform an interference analysis on the sectors' physical resource blocks (PRBs) and receiving branches, of the interference data, to generate analysis results, and may determine interference associated with co-located sectors of the set of sectors. The device may identify neighbor sectors based on the interference, and may compare PRBs of the set of sectors with PRBs of the neighbor sectors to generate comparison results. The device may identify a particular sector that is the most impacted sector when compared to its neighboring and co-located sectors, associated with an interference source, based on the comparison results.

Abstract: A power and environmental orchestration (P&EO) system uses network utilization condition information to implement scenarios that partially or fully reduce power requirements for radio access network (RAN) elements. A network device obtains power orchestration scenarios for a RAN and evaluates utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios. The network device determines that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios and applies the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for compressing sets of files using a packet-based conversion algorithm. The algorithm may compress and decompress files using a packet-based approach, whereby packet-sized sections of file data are compressed and arranged in a specified order such that the sections may be retrieved, decompressed, and reassembled to restore the original files as needed. The packet-based approach may allow for the size of a file set to be dramatically reduced, while the resulting compressed data may not be easily accessed by unauthorized entities. Compression and decompression may utilize a pointer associated with each file in the set of files. The pointer may be generated based on data associated with a file, such as file name, size, and/or other attributes or metadata. The compressed packets may be arranged relative to the pointer within a compressed file such that the packets may be identified and decompressed.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for maintaining and implementing a dynamic uplink grant policy for a User Equipment (“UE”) connected to a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”) of a wireless telecommunications network. The dynamic uplink grant policy may be based on historical utilization of radio frequency (“RF”) resources granted to the UE, which may be based on a historical amount of padding (e.g., versus user plane data) included in uplink transmissions from the UE to one or more base stations associated with the wireless telecommunications network. The dynamic uplink grant policy may indicate an amount by which resource grants for a UE should be reduced, compared to an amount of resources requested by the UE.
