Abstract: Network traffic between a source node and a destination node in a network fabric can be routed by distributing the network traffic from the source node to a set of one-hop neighbors of the source node. Each one-hop neighbor of the source node can be set as a first waypoint. A one-hop neighbor of the destination node mapped to the corresponding one-hop neighbor of the source node is identified and set as a second waypoint. The distributed traffic is then routed from the first waypoint to the second waypoint via a network fabric having network nodes connected according to harmonics.

Abstract: An ‘open control network’ is described, wherein the control plane functions within the Radio Access Network (such as eNodeB and gNodeB) and Core Network (such as MME, AMF and SMF) provide an interface towards the operator and 3rd party control applications. Applications are allowed to securely register to signaling protocols within the control plane, specifically to the RAN or the Core Network control functions to view, intercept and intervene certain types of control messages or procedures. Innovative applications can be developed to view and modify control plane behavior utilizing both traditional methods as well as upcoming Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms to provide services that are not part of standard operator offerings.
