Patent number: 12072914Abstract: The present teaching is directed to clustering with denoising capability and its use in network capacity planning. Data samples with attributes of network elements and respective key performance indicators are first clustered to obtain initial clusters. Each initial cluster is hierarchically clustered to generate subclusters, each of which is detected as a pure or an impure subcluster based on some criterion. Each impure subcluster is denoised based on a situation detected, with some samples merged with a corresponding pure subcluster, some bootstrapped using additional data samples with consistent properties, and some removed if additional data sample with consistent properties is not available. The denoising is iteratively performed until a denoising criterion is satisfied to obtain denoised clusters corresponding to clusters of network elements. Actions may be performed on the network elements according to their corresponding denoised clusters.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Miruna Jayakrishnasamy, Prakash Ranganathan

Publication number: 20240276201Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for eSIM profile management. The disclosed framework provides computerized capabilities related to the automatic reinstallation and reactivation of an eSIM profile. The framework provides functionality for the downloading, and the active selection and deletion of eSIM profiles, and the reinstallation of eSIM profiles on user devices. Accordingly, the framework provides novel capabilities for a device to be provisioned and assigned with an eSIM profile, whether the eSIM profile is a new profile (e.g., a new account for the device) or reinstatement of a previously deleted profile (e.g., via a factory reset, for example, a mobile device management (MDM) wipe). Thus, when an user device's connectivity is severed from a network via deletion of an eSIM profile, the disclosed framework can effectuate the automatic reinitiating and installation of such profile, thereby enabling connectivity for the user device in an automatic manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2023Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Hitesh A.
