Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing a multi-access edge computing (MEC) based system to realize 5G Network Edge and Core Service Dimensioning using Machine Learning and other Artificial Intelligence Techniques, for improved operations and usage of computing and networking resources, and are disclosed herein. In an example, processing circuitry of a compute node on a network is used to analyze execution of an application to obtain operational data. The compute node then may modularize functions of the application based on the operational data to construct modularized functions. A phase transition graph is constructed using a machine-learning based analysis, the phase transition graph representing state transitions from one modularized function to another modularized function, where the phase transition graph is used to dimension the application by distributing the modularized functions across the network.

Abstract: Various approaches for the deployment and coordination of network operation processing, compute processing, and communications for 5G networks, including with the use of fingerprint-based vRAN cell integrity monitoring, are discussed. In an example, analyzing a state of a 5G network includes: obtaining initial fingerprint reference data of a network state between a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) node and at least one fingerprint reference unit (FRU) device wirelessly connected to the vRAN node; comparing the initial fingerprint reference data to subsequent fingerprint data of the network state between the vRAN node (e.g., operating as vRAN gNB, or as an IAB Donor or IAB Node) and the at least one FRU device to detect a changed network condition; and performing an action at the vRAN node to modify or disable a component of the 5G network, in response to detection of the changed network condition.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for managing the communication of data packets between a mobile data radio terminal and a plurality of fixed base stations in a data communications network. In a system of a plurality of base stations (each including a set of cellular telephone voice transceivers), wherein a first and second base stations are coupled through a home mobile data gateway (MDG) to the data communications network and a third base station is coupled through a server mobile data gateway to the data communications network, a method and apparatus which establishes in the home mobile data gateway, a forwarding address to a server mobile data gateway, sends forwarding information from the home mobile data gateway to the server mobile data gateway, and allocates with the server mobile data gateway, a new channel at the third base station, for the mobile data radio terminal.
