  • Patent number: 11924053
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for intelligent infrastructure management in a radio access network. For example, a method obtains, from a plurality of baseband units of a radio access network, a plurality of data sets, wherein respective ones of the plurality of data sets correspond to operational statistics of respective ones of the plurality of baseband units. The method then generates a forecasted data set corresponding to one or more predicted operational statistics of each of the subset of baseband units, wherein the forecasted data set is generated using a first machine learning model. The method analyzes the forecasted data set to predict a future occurrence of a technical issue and to determine at least one corrective action for the predicted future occurrence of the technical issue, wherein the analysis is performed using a second machine learning model. The method then causes initiation of the at least one corrective action.

  • Patent number: 11909593
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer implemented method for assessing network bandwidth availability in a network connection having unknown excess capacity beyond an initial network capacity is provided. There are two cases to be considered: (1) the network has a given capacity and the system doesn't know what it is (e.g., on a cellular network) this capacity may change over time as more users use the network and/or a user is mobile, and (2) the system is assigned capacity but by pushing the network, the system may be able to get more capacity (e.g., on a satellite hub). The excess capacity may be quantified for future potential opportunistic, emergency or priority usage, or in some embodiments, utilized periodically or continuously.

  • Patent number: 11870703
    Abstract: In a method for configuring and managing a Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) network, a network packet is regularly captured and parameters are extracted. The parameters are submitted to a distributed learning model for matching an application according to the parameters, and a network requirement of the application is obtained. Such obtained network requirements are uploaded to a centralized network configuration (CNC) through a message transmission protocol, and a configuration of the network requirement is calculated through the CNC. The configuration calculated by the CNC is received and delivered to a TSN switch, causing the TSN switch to dynamically update the network configuration accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11863383
    Abstract: An exemplary method is disclosed that facilitate the on-demand creation of an exemplary instrumented network device in a cloud infrastructure, remote server, evaluation platform, or customized testing server and to form a stack between the instrumented network device as a debug network device and a target network device. The control plane of the target network device then switches over, via a switchover operation, to the control plane of the debug network device, while the data-plane of the target network device continues to operate. Once switched over, the instrumentation (e.g., hardware or software) of the control plane or debug network device facilitates the debug, optimization, profile, and/or recovery of the physical network device, even in a live network.

  • Patent number: 11853361
    Abstract: A service monitoring system executing on one or more processors may have operations that are determined by control information. Control over the operation of the service monitoring system can be exerted through the use of a graphical interface. The graphical interface may present the control information of a new or existing correlation search definition for user interaction. The service monitoring system may maintain a data store of key performance indicator (KPI) data, where a KPI value in the data store is produced by a KPI-defining search query that derives the value from machine data associated with one or more entities that perform a monitored service. A correlation search definition of the service monitoring system determines how a search of the KPI data is conducted, how its data is evaluated to determine whether a triggering condition has been met, and, if so, determines what triggered action is to be initiated.

  • Patent number: 11843507
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein relate to the management of compatibility and support issues in a networked resource environment. An analyzer service can be used to attempt to identify potential or existing compatibility and other such issues in the environment, as may occur when updating to a new communication protocol or data standard. Such a service can analyze an environment at multiple levels, such as at an infrastructure, services, operating system, and/or code level. For any identified issue, the service can provide information about the issue, as well as one or more recommendations for remediation where available. For at least certain types of issues where permitted, the service can perform a remediation, such as to remove hard-coded dependencies or perform pending software updates. Compatibility monitoring can also be performed over time to ensure continued compatibility, including for additions or modifications in the environment.

  • Patent number: 11838261
    Abstract: A method performed by a node (111) supporting operation on a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), but incapable of supporting operation on a Domain Name System (DNS) protocol. The node (111) encodes (402) a DNS query into a first message (601, 701), which has a format supported by the CoAP. The DNS query is mapped to the CoAP format of the first message (601, 701) based on a mapping scheme. The node (111) then initiates sending (403) the first message (601, 701) to another node (112) operating in the communications network (100). The another node (112) supports operation on the CoAP and on the DNS protocol. The node (111) finally receives (404) a second message (620, 706) from the another node (112), which has the format supported by the CoAP. The second message (620, 706) comprises the DNS response to the sent DNS query. The DNS response is mapped to the CoAP format of the second message (620, 706) based on the mapping scheme.
