Abstract: An orchestration system may receive, from a subscriber management system, a request indicating a subscriber intent for a connectivity service or a cloud service. The orchestration system may identify, based on subscriber information associated with the request, a managed service. The orchestration system may automatically discover subscriber network devices configured to access the managed service and configure network connectivity of the subscriber network devices. The orchestration system may allocate infrastructure and network resources for the managed service. The orchestration system may configure, based on the resources, infrastructure hardware components, software components, and applications of the managed service. The orchestration system may configure managed service components associated with the managed service. The orchestration system may connect the infrastructure hardware components, the software components, the applications, and the managed service components to service assurance systems.

Abstract: A device may determine a number of user equipments (UEs) connected to an inactive site during a first period of time and determine that the inactive site experienced a power outage during a second period of time. The device may determine that the UEs connected to a set of active sites during the second period of time.

Abstract: A system described herein may receive an authentication request from a User Equipment (“UE”). The authentication request may include a particular identifier, such as an application group identifier. The system may determine whether a token is available (e.g., has been previously generated) for the UE and the particular identifier. If such token is not available, the system may initiate an authentication procedure that includes receiving input from the UE, and may generate the token, indicating that the authentication procedure has been completed. If the token is available, then the system may forgo initiating the authentication procedure. The system may output the token, such that a service provider system authenticates the UE based on the generated token and provides services to the UE based on authenticating the UE.

The network device may provide egress traffic from host devices, connected to the first VLAN interface and to the second VLAN interface, to the primary WAN interface and without prefix translation, when the primary WAN interface is available. The network device may provide ingress traffic to the host devices, via the primary WAN interface and without prefix translation, when the primary WAN interface is available.

The management system may receive, via the blockchain, an approval of the service-level agreement from each service provider of the subset of service providers. The management system may perform an action based on the service-level agreement and based on the network services provided by the subset of service providers for the application.

Abstract: A device may receive content from an application server based on a user equipment (UE) generating a request to view the content over a unicast bearer, and may store the content in a temporary data structure. The device may receive a redirected request to view the content from the UE, and may provide the content over the unicast bearer to the UE based on the redirected request. The device may receive, from the UE, a unicast consumption of the content by the UE and a location of the UE, and may determine whether interest in the content for the location satisfies a threshold based on the unicast consumption. The device may initiate multicast and broadcast service (MBS) core functions with computing resources to utilize for an MBS for the content at the location based on the interest in the content for the location satisfying the threshold.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a fiber sensor device, sensing data associated with a fiber optic cable, the sensing data being produced by an activity that poses a threat of damage to the fiber optic cable, and the sensing data identifying: amplitudes of vibration signals, frequencies of the vibration signals, patterns of the vibration signals, times associated with the vibration signals, and locations along the fiber optic cable associated with the vibration signals. The device may process, with a machine learning model, the sensing data to determine a threat level of the activity to the fiber optic cable, the machine learning model having been trained based on historical information regarding detected vibrations, historical information regarding sources of the detected vibrations, and historical information regarding threat levels to the fiber optic cable. The device may perform one or more actions based on the threat level to the fiber optic cable.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to impression count determination. A forecasting time series (TS) model is established based on measured impression counts (MI-counts). Metrics are calculated from MI-counts from a sub-range of a profile. Different types of data characteristics are detected based on the metrics. Hybrid correction applied to the profile is determined based on the detected data characteristics. Corrected impression counts (I-counts) for the profile are generated via the hybrid correction operation based on the MI-counts and I-counts estimated from the forecasting TS models and provided for determining a level of viewership of the content at the site.

Abstract: A device may receive a list of 4G base stations and 5G base stations associated with outages and identifiers of FWA CPEs associated with the 4G base stations and the 5G base stations, and may filter identifiers of the FWA CPEs from the list, that fail to satisfy an age out time period, to generate a filtered list. The device may determine whether all 4G base stations are out of service for a particular identifier of remaining identifiers included in the filtered list, and may identify a particular FWA CPE associated with the particular identifier as out of service. The device may determine whether all 5G base stations, associated with operational 4G base stations, are out of service for the particular identifier, and may identify the particular FWA CPE associated with the particular identifier as having only 4G service.

Abstract: A user device presents a user interface (UI) that enables user selection or entry of configuration parameters for configuring a location spoofing detection service to be performed for at least one wireless device. The user device receives, via the UI, configuration parameters that comprise one or more user-selected location determining sources, selected from among multiple different location determining sources presented via the UI, for use in performing the location spoofing detection service. The user device sends the configuration parameters to another device for configuring the location spoofing detection service for the at least one wireless device.

Abstract: Systems and methods leverage trust anchors to generate tokens which can then be used by network functions (NFs). A virtualization infrastructure manager (VIM) for a virtualized platform receives a NF software package and a certificate request token (CRT) from a management function. The NF is a virtual NF, a containerized NF, or another virtual entity (xNF) to be deployed. The CRT is digitally signed by the management function and includes a network address of a trust anchor platform and a NF profile. The VIM deploys the NF and provides the CRT to the NF. The NF obtains from the CRT the network address of the trust anchor platform, generates a certificate signing request (CSR) for a digital certificate, and submits the CSR and the CRT to the trust anchor platform. The NF receives a digital certificate from the trust anchor platform based on validation of both the CSR and CRT.
