  • Patent number: 12235943
    Abstract: Determining a level of congruence between modality-event characteristics is disclosed. Information can be collected from an event input source via one or more information collection modalities. Modality-event characteristics can be determined from this information. A level of congruence between the modality-event characteristics can be determined to enable initiating a response based on the level of congruence. The level of congruence can be based on satisfying a rule related to congruence between modality-event characteristics, user profile information, etc. The level of congruence can be related to a probability that the several inputs collected for an event, collected by a plurality of modalities, embody characteristics that are associated with the event occurring according to determined notions embodied in the rule and profile. Determining the level of congruence can support assertions that each input, across differing modes of capturing said input, accords with the expected inputs for an event.

  • Publication number: 20250063393
    Abstract: Excessive signaling by devices against a radio access network (RAN) can be detected and mitigated. A security management component (SMC) can determine whether a total number of control signals received by a base station from devices satisfies a threshold total number of control signals indicative of excessive signaling. If so, SMC can identify a device associated with the base station based on analyzing communication conditions associated with the device. SMC can determine whether to classify the device as an excessive signaling device based on whether the number of control signals received from the device by the base station satisfies a threshold number of control signals indicative of excessive signaling. If so, SMC can determine the device is an excessive signaling device. In response, SMC can perform or facilitate performing a mitigation action to mitigate excessive signaling or can generate statistics relating to the excessive signaling.

  • Patent number: 12231958
    Abstract: Adaptable resiliency for a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) framework is disclosed. A resiliency management component can determine vRAN topological adaptations that can reflect resiliency requirements of service instance(s). Accordingly, sufficient redundant vRAN components to satisfy the resiliency requirements can be deployed. However, unlike conventional redundancy techniques that can determine a highest level of redundancy and then apply that relative to all supported services, the disclosed subject matter can avoid over-deploying redundant vRAN components, e.g., redundant components exceeding the resiliency requirement of a service instance, resulting in lowered monetary and non-monetary costs to maintain a vRAN. Moreover, as the services change, the topology of the vRAN can be automatically adapted to purge excessive redundancies, add newly required redundancies, etc., which can facilitate propagating an adequate but lean vRAN topology that is sufficiently resilient.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying an entity of a natural language question, locating a node of a knowledge graph corresponding to the entity, and generating a candidate answer set including a group of other entities located a predetermined proximity to the node. Contextual information for the group of other entities is determined from the knowledge graph, and the natural language question and contextual information are separately encoded to obtain separate encoded vectorial representations of the natural language question and members of the candidate answer set. The encoding uses pre-trained language model embeddings obtained via a bidirectional encoder representations from transformer encoding process. The encoded vectorial representations of the question under an influence of aspects of the contextual information are scored and a member of the candidate answer set selected according to the score to obtain an answer to the original question.

  • Publication number: 20250056264
    Abstract: Generating a core instance via a first access network device of a first access network, wherein the core instance facilitates operation of a second access network via a second access network device of the second access network is disclosed. Generally, implementing a core network can be highly resource intensive, e.g., high labor, equipment, and monetary costs. The level of resources that are conventionally committed in developing a core instance can be a significant barrier for many small or medium sized entities. The disclosed subject matter discloses a configuration component that can generate a core instance that can be performed at a remotely located access network. In an embodiment, a remotely implemented core instance can be updatable. Further, in response to a remotely implemented core instance failing to perform, a monitoring component can facilitate a failover operation.
