Abstract: Radio access network controller-based mobility optimization is disclosed. Mobility reports are received at a radio access network controller from multiple network node devices, each mobility report reporting at least one individual failure event to complement one or more aggregated mobility event counters and/or one or more aggregated performance measurement reports. The mobility reports are related to client devices in one or more service areas. The radio access network controller analyzes the received mobility reports. In response to the analyzing resulting in a perceived need for an update of a cell configuration of a service area of the one or more service areas, the radio access network controller determines updated cell configuration information for the service area. The updated cell configuration information is transmitted from the radio access network controller to-wards at least one network node device in the service area.

Abstract: System, method, and software for detecting anomalies in data generated by microservices. In one embodiment, an anomaly detector collects performance metrics for a microservice deployed in a data center for an application. The anomaly detector transforms the performance metrics into a time-series structured dataset for the microservice, and feeds the structured dataset to a machine learning system to determine whether an anomaly exists in the structured dataset based on an anomaly detection model. The anomaly detector performs an anomaly classification with the machine learning system based on an anomaly classification model and the structured dataset when an anomaly is detected in the structured dataset, and performs an action based on the anomaly classification.

Abstract: Improved techniques of reducing latency in UL positioning include generating a priority indication by the LMF for all UE requiring UL positioning. For example, an LMF can generate a priority list identifying UEs within a network that may be considered by a serving network node (gNB) for positioning prioritization. In some implementations, the serving gNB indicates that prioritizing all of the identified UEs would require more network resources than are available. In such a case, the LMF obtains latency measurement values for TRPs in the network. Based on the latency measurement values obtained, the LMF performs a configuration operation on at least one of the TRPs to reduce the UL positioning latency to an acceptable value.
