Abstract: Techniques for intelligent proactive template-driven data caching are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving notification of input by the user of a user computing device, identifying a user activity corresponding to the user input, using the identified user activity to obtain a template comprising a number of data retrieval operations for the identified activity and timing information indicating, for each data retrieval operation, a corresponding timing for performing the data retrieval operation, performing a data retrieval operation identified by the template to retrieve data item(s) from data storage remote to the user computing device in accordance with the corresponding timing indicated by the template, causing the retrieved data items to be stored in data storage local to the user computing device.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to register a network function, of a core network associated with a radio access network, in a network function repository for the core network. The processor may be further configured to obtain load information for the network function, wherein the load information indicates a load associated with the network function during a time period; determine that the load associated with the network function has reached a threshold based on the load information; and send an alert to an orchestration system to adjust a capacity for the network function, in response to determining that the load associated with the network function has reached the threshold.

Abstract: A device of a network may receive a session configuration message for an application session associated with an application of a user equipment (UE) that provided the session configuration message. The device of a network may identify, from the session configuration message, a quality of service (QoS) profile for the application session. The device of a network may determine that the application is authorized to use a network slice of the network that satisfies one or more QoS thresholds of the QoS profile. The device of a network may identify resources of the network that can be configured to satisfy the one or more QoS thresholds. The device of a network may instantiate the resources for communication of application data of the application session. Instantiating the resources may enable the UE to communicate the application data via the network slice using the resources.

Abstract: A system described herein may determine transformations, differences, variations, etc. in radio frequency (“RF”) waveforms sent by a device in order to detect motion-based events. Models associated with the differences in such RF waveforms may be used to identify particular types of events, such as the presence of an individual in a room or other area, a type of motion, or other types of events. An interval or rate at which the device outputs RF waveforms may be modified, in order to increase the resolution of the determination of differences between the RF waveforms as sent and the RF waveforms as received, and/or to conserve power.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for intelligent differentiated retransmissions in Radio Access Networks (RANs), such as Fifth Generation New Radio (5G-NR) networks, to provide consistent low latency for different service requirements. A network device determines if consistent low latency is required for a communication session requested by a user equipment (UE) device. The network device selects, based on the determining, retransmission settings for the communication session and sends the retransmission settings to an access station of a radio access network (RAN).

Abstract: A base station may obtain information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment. The bearer may be associated with a quality of service (QoS) flow of a network slice and the information may include a QoS flow identifier, a QoS configuration identifier associated with a QoS that is to be provided for communications associated with the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier. The base station may determine a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the QoS flow identifier, the QoS configuration identifier, and the network slice identifier. The base station may cause resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.

Abstract: An improved cellular network architecture enables the distribution of Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state to devices in a core network. A mobility manager receives subscription requests from core network devices requesting notification of user equipment (UE) transitions to RRC Inactive states. Upon receiving an RRC transition report for a UE that indicates a transition to an RRC Inactive state, the mobility manager publishes an event including data representing the RRC inactive state and a UE identifier. Subscribing network elements receive this event and can adjust operations accordingly, including temporarily suspending operations until a further RRC state change.

Abstract: A first network device may receive, from a second network device, a first policy control create request and may provide, to the second network device, a common policy control request trigger. The first network device may receive a second policy control create request associated with a user equipment (UE) and may cause a UE policy to be provided to the UE. The first network device may receive, from a third network device, a third policy control create request and may provide a network device policy to the third network device. The first network device may receive, from the second network device, a policy control update request based on the common policy control request trigger and may generate an updated UE policy or an updated network device policy based on the policy control update request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and programming for updating a search index are described herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, event data representing actions performed on a plurality of content items managed via the search index may be obtained. The event data may be filtered based on pre-determined criteria to generate updated event data, where the updated event data represents relevant actions performed on at least one of the plurality of content items and are associated with the search index. An updated search index based on the updated event data may then be generated.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an access and mobility management function (AMF) assignment service is provided. A network device receives an assignment policy for selecting an AMF from a group of available AMFs, wherein the assignment policy includes network slice priorities for available network slices in the RAN; stores the assignment policy; receives, during a registration procedure initiated by an end device, Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI); identifies, from the NSSAI, multiple single-NSSAIs (S-NSSAIs); and selects, based on the assignment policy, an AMF for a highest priority S-NSSAI, of the multiple S-NSSAIs.

Abstract: A system includes one or more devices. The devices are configured to: receive a message indicating that a network slice has been deployed in a network, wherein the message includes information related to the network slice; send the information to an application that provides services to User Equipment (UE) devices subscribed to the network; and initiate updates to UE route selection policies (URSPs) in the network based on the information, allowing communications from UE devices to reach the network slice.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for analyzing metrics, parameters, attributes, and/or other information associated with networks or other devices or systems associated with high-dimensional data in order to determine potential configuration changes that may be made to such networks or other devices or systems in order to optimize and/or otherwise enhance the operation of such networks or other devices or systems. Multiple autoencoders associated with multiple dimensions may be used to calculate reconstruction errors or other features of data (e.g., metrics, parameters, etc.) that may be used to define operating or performance states of the network. Operating or performance states of network components may be mapped to quantum state objects (“QSOs”) for analysis using artificial intelligence and/or machine learning techniques or other suitable techniques.

Abstract: User Equipment (“UEs”) associated with a conference may automatically join the conference (e.g., in situations where the teleconference is a scheduled teleconference or other suitable situations). As discussed below, when automatically joining a teleconference in such a manner, the UE may refrain from sending conference-related information (e.g., captured audio, video, etc.) to a teleconferencing system or to other participants of the teleconference until a user of the UE selects to join the teleconference. In this manner, control signaling or other setup procedures may be performed prior to the user selecting to join the teleconference, thus reducing the amount of time spent to perform such signaling or procedures after the user has indicated readiness to join the teleconference.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for a determination of a path through a node map using one or more searches. The nodes may be associated with respective priorities. A first search may be performed from a first node in ascending order of priority. A second search may be performed from a second node in ascending order of priority, until a third node, traversed during the first search is reached. A third search may be performed from the third node, in descending order of priority, until the first node is reached. The third search may be restricted only to nodes traversed during the first search. A path that is based on the second and third searches may be provided in response to a navigation request from a starting point associated with the second node to a destination associated with the first node.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, connector panel information associated with a connector panel. The connector panel may provide a connection, via a port, for a service of a network. The device may receive an image that depicts a physical configuration of the connector panel. The device may process, using a port analysis model, the image to identify a port status of a port of the connector panel. The device may determine, based on the port status, that the port is available for the connection. The device may provide, to the user device, instructions for using the port for the connection. The device may obtain a verification that the connection has been established via the port. The device may perform one or more actions associated with providing the service.

Abstract: A configuration system may generate synthetic datasets based on machine learning, and may provide the synthetic datasets in order to configure, train, test, and/or otherwise modify operation of network equipment and/or other devices. The configuration system may receive a sampling of data used by the particular network equipment, and may determine parameters that define values for the variables represented in the sampling. The configuration system may generate different datasets based on the parameters, and may determine an accuracy of each dataset to the sampling based on the values of each dataset conforming by different amounts to the parameters that define the values for the variables represented in the sampling by different amounts. The configuration system may modify the network equipment operation using the values from a particular dataset in response to determining that the accuracy of the particular dataset is greatest to the sampling.

Abstract: Initiating a conference call includes receiving a conference call request message from an initiating user specifying a plurality of other users and determining an availability of the other users to receive conference call invitations. A conference call is initiated between the initiating user and one or more of the other users that are determined to be available. The availability of one or more of the other users determined to be unavailable is monitored and interaction with a conference call invitation by one or more of the other users determined to be unavailable is enabled upon their monitored availability changing from unavailable to available. The interaction with the conference call invitation by the other users is conditioned on whether the conference call is still in progress.

Abstract: A system described herein may receive traffic throughput metrics and energy consumption metrics associated with one or more elements of a wireless network, and compute granular (e.g., per-network slice, per-network element, per-protocol, per-layer, etc.) measures of energy efficiency associated with the one or more one or more elements. The system may determine network parameter modifications based on the granular measures of energy efficiency, and/or provide such measures of energy efficiency to the one or more network elements, which may grant access to UEs 109 based on the granular measures of energy efficiency. The one or more network elements may make network parameter modifications based on the granular measures of energy efficiency, such as activating “sleep” or “suspend” modes, and/or otherwise performing energy saving techniques.

Abstract: A first network device may receive a notification over a network; in response to the notification, cause a virtualized operating system (OS) and a hypervisor of the first network device to obtain state units from one or more of first hardware components and virtual components; create a context state transfer package (CSTP) based on the state units; and forward the CSTP from the first network device to a second network device over the network. The second network device may receive the CSTP from the first network device; unpack the CSTP to obtain the state units; and put, at the second network device, second hardware components and virtual components of the second network device in a same state as the first hardware components and virtual components when the state units were obtained at the first network device.

Abstract: A base station may define power saving profiles, and may define, for the power saving profiles, sets of features and parameter settings for each feature of the sets of features. The base station may store the power saving profiles, the sets of features, and the parameter settings in a data structure, and may receive, from a user equipment, data identifying a service utilized by the user equipment or an operation mode of the user equipment. The base station may retrieve, from the data structure, a single power saving profile based on the data identifying the service utilized by the user equipment or the operation mode of the user equipment, and may enable, for the user equipment, a corresponding set of features and corresponding parameter settings of the single power saving profile based on the single power saving profile being retrieved from the data structure.
