Abstract: A computer-implemented process for training a neural network includes the following operations. Return data received from a return channel is evaluated against a threshold. Based upon the threshold being satisfied, the return data is validated, and the return data is cognitive processed to generate a return insight. Using the neural network and based upon the return insight, a corrective action is generated. The neural network is trained using feedback generated based upon the corrective action. The threshold is then updated using the neural network.

Similar operations may be performed with respect to a second virtual cloud-computing edge device. The techniques described herein split the physical edge device into multiple virtual device resources that can be utilized in combination or separately to extend the functionality and versatility of the physical edge device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for performing user defined network (UDN) service authorization based on secondary identity credentials within a wireless network. For instance, the techniques may include receiving, from a user device, a first request to access a wireless network (e.g., such as a WLAN), where the first request may include primary access credentials for accessing the WLAN. Once primary access authentication of the user device is complete, the techniques may include receiving a second request from the user device to access a UDN group within the wireless network. The second request can include secondary credentials for accessing the UDN group. In response to the second request, a secondary EAP dialogue may be established to authenticate the user device using the secondary credentials. Once the secondary credentials are authenticated, the techniques may include granting the user device access to the UDN group.
