Abstract: Methods are provided for enabling network operators to play a key role in allowing Cellular Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to recharge batteries based on RF parameters and/or a class of service the UAVs provide to users/customers. For example, a particular mobile network operator (MNO) has a UAV charging station deployed in it leased towers where it has base stations (eNB/gNB) deployed. The MNO can provide charging as a service to the UAVs. When more than one drone is requesting a charge, the MNO can prioritize which UAV has the highest priority. In some aspects, the MNO can prioritize the UAVs for charging based on a Quality of Service identifier. Additionally or alternatively, the MNO can prioritize the UAVs for charging based on a Network Slice Selection Assistance Information indicator.

Abstract: Anomalies in network traffic are detected using machine learning. A plurality of machine learning models is employed to determine whether there are anomalies in network traffic of an MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network that can affect the performance of devices in the network. A first machine learning model is trained on network traffic passed through network tunnels of a plurality of routers in the network. A second machine learning model is trained on router-specific network traffic passed through router-specific network traffic for a subset of the network tunnels associated with a particular router. The first machine learning model is employed to determine a network anomaly, and the second machine learning model is employed to determine a router-specific anomaly. A router error is identified when both a network anomaly and a router-specific anomaly are determined. An indication of the router error is communicated to a computing device.

Abstract: In various examples, description data may be used by an engine to correlate a subset of alarms representing a network incident. A machine learning model may then be used to predict a likelihood that one or more of the alarms within the subset is a root cause of the network incident. This root cause may then be displayed on a graphical user interface. As a result, alarm fatigue experienced by network administrators may be reduced.
