  • Patent number: 11954177
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide an online constraint optimizing service that evaluates user requests and inquiries for telecommunications services in the context of a real-time constraint-based analysis. According to an implementation, a network device receives a function for an analytic event and a constraint. The function applies different user attributes for a telecommunications network. The network device generates a training data set using offline constrained optimization of the function. The network device develops a predictive model for utilization of network resources in the telecommunications network using the training data set. The network device receives a user request that corresponds to the analytic event addressed by the predictive model and conducts an online prescriptive analysis using the predictive model. The network device optimizes allocation of the network resources to the user based on the prescriptive analysis.

  • Patent number: 11956708
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-based access control service is provided. The service assigns network slice priority values to network slices that are associated with an application or a portion of an application pertaining to end devices. The service calculates a network slice priority value to manage access barring based on a congestion level, and transmits the network slice priority value to end devices. End devices may determine whether access is permitted or not based on the network slice priority value and the assigned network slice priority values associated with the network slices. The service further provides access barring information to network devices of an access network that allows the network devices to reject connection requests and release existing connections. The access barring information may include a network slice priority value and/or network slice identifiers.
