Abstract: A resource upgrade predictor can be operable to receive, from a first network node device, traffic information. Based on the traffic information, the resource upgrade predictor can obtain network utilization data related to other network node devices having a similar interference characteristic to the first network node device. The resource upgrade predictor can use this network utilization data to determine a demand at which at least a defined value related to a transmission link capacity associated with transmissions between the first network node device and the user equipment, is attained. The resource upgrade predictor can also obtain projected demand data associated with a geographic area serviced by the first network node device, and determine, based upon the demand and the projected demand data, a time at which a network resource upgrade related to the first network node device, is to be performed.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to using proof of work for preventing distributed denial of server (“DDoS”) attacks. A server system can receive a resource request from a client system. The resource request can specify a resource. The server system can determine a congestion level based upon a load metric and a threshold. In response to determining that the load metric is above the threshold, the server system can determine that the congestion level is indicative of a high demand period. In response to the resource request being received during the high demand period, the server system can provide a work assignment to the client system. The server system can receive work results for the work assignment sent to the client system. In response to receiving the work results, the server system can process the resource request and can send the resource to the client system.

Abstract: In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, when the mobile device moves away from mobile edge computing (MEC) coverage, the information from the MEC can be ported to a new MEC along the way of the mobile device's path. The initial MEC can send service related application package data to one or more neighboring MECs. When a neighboring MEC of the neighboring MECs receives the service related application package data and the neighboring MEC serves the area which the mobile device is transitioning to, then the neighboring MEC can send an acknowledgment back to the initial MEC. Once the acknowledgment is received by the initial MEC, the initial MEC can complete the handover of the application data needed to reduce or mitigate any disruption in service for the mobile device.
