  • Patent number: 12361063
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards generating an annotated visual playback of an incident. Upon obtaining notification of an incident, event data occurring in the incident zone and timeframe are obtained (e.g., collected) from sensors proximate the zone. The event data is used to annotate a visual playback captured by one or more cameras, e.g., within a timeframe ranging from some time before the incident occurred to the end of the incident. For example, a video can be presented with overlaid annotation data, each annotation describing an event as it occurred in time, in conjunction with an advancing timestamp overlay showing the time of the video frames. A simulated video, e.g., extended reality video, can also be generated, along with annotations and timeframe data, such as if captured from camera(s) from one or more various different perspectives.

  • Patent number: 12360873
    Abstract: A flow logging utility tracer (“FLUTE”) system can present a FLUTE user interface through which the FLUTE system can receive a trace request. The FLUTE system can interface, via a FLUTE controller, with a FLUTE adapter corresponding to a cloud environment associated with the trace request. The FLUTE adaptor can extract event log data from a log repository corresponding to the cloud environment. The FLUTE adapter can filter the event log data according to a logging specification. The FLUTE adapter can transform the filtered event log data for compatibility with a FLUTE stitcher. The FLUTE stitcher can generate tracing data based upon the event log data. The FLUTE stitcher can correlate the tracing data based upon a common identifier enforced by the logging specification, prepare the tracing data for publication to a distributed tracing system, and publish the tracing data to the distributed tracing system for storage.

  • Publication number: 20250227892
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a short message service (SMS) congestion manager that can evaluate, predict, and mitigate SMS congestion. The SMS congestion manager can be implemented within a short message services function (SMSF) of a fifth generation (5G) or subsequent generation cellular network. The SMS congestion manager can monitor a volume of non-access stratum (NAS) SMS messages in order to detect potential overload conditions wherein the volume of messages exceeds a capability of a network function. In response to detecting potential overload conditions, the SMS congestion manager can inhibit messages directed to the network function in order to prevent overloads from developing. The SMS congestion manager can use machine learning to learn to detect the potential overload conditions as well as to learn actions to take to address the potential overload conditions.

  • Patent number: 12349043
    Abstract: A software defined network (SDN) can add network repository functions (NRF) into a configurations database to enable NF discovery. The SDN can subscribe to NRF notifications to receive new cloud native functions (CNF), registrations, or any other update to the CNF status in 5G system. In addition to listening to NRF notifications, the SDN can implement CNF pooling processes to periodically retrieve CNF from an NRF repository and stay in sync with 5G systems. Thus, a deep service path discovery can be developed from network service configurations and container call flows to enable an accurate alarm correlation and troubleshooting for the operations. This service path deep discovery can be designed and implemented as a standalone system or in an SDN framework with integration of a container management framework such as K8 kubernetes.
