  • Publication number: 20230281071
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for using user equipment data clusters and spatial temporal graphs of abnormalities for root cause analysis. User equipment data can be obtained from a cellular network. A filter having a threshold can be applied to the user equipment data to obtain records. A determination is made whether the threshold is to be adaptively adjusted. If a determination is made that the threshold is not to be adjusted, the records can be added to a record set. The records in the subset of records can be correlated based on a key to obtain a filtered and correlated version of the record set, a spatial temporal graph of abnormalities associated with the cellular network can be generated based on the filtered and correlated version of the record set, and a root cause of a failure can be determined based on the spatial temporal graph of abnormalities.

  • Publication number: 20230245041
    Abstract: Wireless presence is used as a theft prevention mechanism for packages. When a package is shipped, the package includes a wireless security device. Before the package is delivered to its final destination shipping address, the wireless security device is activated and programmed with a security credential. The security credential, though, is based on information obtained during an initial purchase. The wireless security device may thus only be deactivated by a recipient participating in the initial purchase.
