Publication number: 20240015469Abstract: A device may determine that a first geographical area satisfies an area threshold. The first geographical area includes an estimated location of a source of interference associated with base stations. A first plurality of vertices, of the first geographical area, are based on locations of the base stations. The device may determine a second plurality of vertices.

Patent number: 11803424Abstract: Systems described herein may allow for the intelligent configuration of containers onto virtualized resources. Different configurations may be generated based on the simulation of alternate placements of containers onto nodes, where the placement of a particular container onto a particular node may serve as a root for several branches which may themselves simulate the placement of additional containers on the node (in addition to the container(s) indicated in the root). Once a set of configurations are generated, a particular configuration may be selected according to determined selection parameters and/or intelligent selection techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Matthew Kapala, Hector A.

Patent number: 11677636Abstract: In some implementations, a network monitoring system may measure a traffic metric for a first component of a network device. The network monitoring system may determine, based on a trained component monitoring model, that an obtained measurement of the traffic metric for the first component satisfies a criteria associated with the traffic metric pattern. The network monitoring system may compare, based on determining that the obtained measurement satisfies the criteria, the obtained measurement to a corresponding measurement of the traffic metric for a second component of the network device. The network monitoring system may determine that a measurement difference between the obtained measurement for the first component and the corresponding measurement for the second component satisfies a difference threshold. The network monitoring system may perform, based on the measurement difference satisfying the difference threshold, an action associated with the first component.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Randy Patrick, Jason A.
