Abstract: A service-based architecture (SBA) IP Multimedia Network Subsystem (IMS) network exposes Network Functions (NFs) to nodes within a 5G core network (CN), nodes within the SBA IMS network, and/or nodes within another network. In contrast to the SBA IMS network, legacy IMS networks are non-SBA IMS stateful networks that may utilize the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Utilizing the SBA IMS network, a node in the 5G core network can communicate directly with any node in the SBA IMS network. The SBA IMS network is stateless and open as opposed to stateful and closed as in SIP based legacy IMS networks. In some configurations, the SBA IMS network utilizes a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). For instance, instead of using the application layer SIP protocol, techniques can include using HTTP. The SBA IMS may also connect to legacy SIP IMS networks.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing incident alerts for an enterprise environment are described. In one embodiment, a method of reducing incident alerts for an enterprise environment includes receiving a plurality of historical incident alerts associated with previous incidents associated with nodes within an enterprise environment. The method includes extracting from a first subset of the historical incident alerts a plurality of rules to generate a rule knowledge base and analyzing a second subset of the historical incident alerts against the plurality of rules to identify candidate incidents alerts as potential dead-end tickets. The method also includes providing feedback on the candidate incident alerts to confirm or deny that the alert is a dead-end ticket. Based on the feedback, a prescriptive avoidance rule set is generated to identify an incident alert as a dead-end ticket and eliminate the dead-end tickets from submitted incident alerts.
