  • 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.

  • 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: 11956071
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving a message from a sending service and addressed to a destination service. The message is sent to the destination service using a synchronous message modality responsive to a communication history parameter for the destination service indicating a synchronous message type. The message is sent to the destination service using an asynchronous message modality responsive to the communication history parameter indicating an asynchronous message type. A reply is received from the destination service and the reply is sent to the sending service. The synchronous message modality comprises waiting for a reply to be received from the destination service for a predetermined time interval. The asynchronous message modality comprises storing identification data associated with the message in a correlation data store, receiving the reply from the destination service, and determining whether the reply is associated with the message based on the identification data.

  • Publication number: 20240112012
    Abstract: A device may receive network resource model (NRM) data identifying application layer data, user related data, network layer data, and physical layer data associated with a network, and may generate a graphical NRM that is a causal graph representation of the NRM data. The device may merge key performance indicators (KPIs) and network interventions with the graphical NRM, and may generate a hypergraph NRM. The device may determine first embeddings that preserve a structure of the graphical NRM and second embeddings that preserve a structure of the hypergraph NRM, and may train a causal impact model, based on the first embeddings, the second embeddings, a pre-intervention period, and a post-intervention period, to generate learned relationships. The device may retrain the causal impact model based on the learned relationships to generate a trained causal impact model, and may perform one or more actions with the trained causal impact model.
