Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system determines quality of experience metrics and root-cause metrics for geographic areas connected by a communication network based on application data. The system determines that one or more of the geographic areas have low quality of experience based on the quality of experience metrics and a first set of criteria which includes one or more first thresholds for the quality of experience metrics. The system determines causes for the low quality of experience in each associated geographic area having low quality of experience based on the root-cause metrics and a second set of criteria which includes one or more second thresholds and is looser than the first set of criteria. The system determines a solution recommendation for the low quality of experience in each associated geographic area based on the causes of the low quality of experience of that geographic area.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for a network controller to implement an update on network elements with minimal disruption. The network controller receives a request to install the update on a number of network elements in one or more networks. Installing the update in each respective network element removes it from operation for an outage duration of time. The network controller identifies at least one set of critical network elements based on business factors associated with removing the critical network elements from operation. The network controller generates an update plan including timing for installing the update on each respective network element. The timing is based on minimizing the outage duration for the set of critical network elements. The network controller installs the update in each network element according to the timing of the update plan.

Abstract: A cellular communication network may be configured to use a primary Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station and a secondary New Radio (NR) base station to implement a Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) configuration. The primary LTE base station broadcasts system information, for reception by the communication device, using System Information Blocks (SIBs). The secondary NR base station, however, may be configured to not broadcast certain system information. Rather, system information of the NR base station is specified to the communication device in communications from the LTE base station during setup of an NR data connection. When there is a change in the system information of the NR base station, the network is configured to forgo updating the communication device with the new system information at least until the existing NR data connection is terminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Torus-Quorum based channel rendezvous method for directional antennas. A pair of directional antennas facing any side initially points to the other party mutually in one Torus-Quorum system cycle through a rotation closure attribute of a Torus-Quorum system; and a receiver and a sender switch to a same available channel according to frequency hopping sequences to realize channel rendezvous. In the Torus-Quorum based channel rendezvous method for directional antennas proposed in the present invention, the directional antennas are rotated based on the Torus-Quorum, and elements are ensured to coincide with each other within limited time through the rotation closure attribute of the Torus-Quorum system, i.e., directions are opposite, thereby effectively shortening channel rendezvous time of the directional antennas.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for addressing tone misalignment between signals of a first radio access technology (RAT) and signals of a second RAT in a combined signal. In some wireless communications systems, the tones of uplink (UL) signals may be shifted up or down based on the configuration of the particular RAT. If UL signals of the first RAT are not shifted in frequency and UL signals of the second RAT are shifted in frequency, processing the combined signal may include additional processing to account for the mismatch.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a reciprocity based channel state information acquisition scheme for frequency division duplex wireless communications systems. By converting channel state information from a traditional frequency-time domain to a Delay-Doppler domain, the channel state information feedback overhead can be reduced since the multi-path of radio propagation is reciprocal in terms of each ray and each cluster of antenna elements. Since the surrounding objects create the same multipath fading for both uplink and downlink transmissions, modeling the channel state information in the Delay-Doppler domain, and adjusting the sign of the Doppler value (negative/positive) can account for the multipath characteristics in both uplink and downlink.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables remote gateways to quickly re-learn MAC addresses of workloads for a gateway that has taken over for another gateway. In a particular embodiment, a method provides determining that a backup gateway should begin handling communications exchanged with one or more workloads of an active gateway for a logical network. The method further provides transferring a control message to one or more remote gateways in communication with the backup gateway. The control message instructs the remote gateways to change MAC addresses learned from, and associated with, the active gateway to being associated with the backup gateway. The method also provides, in the backup gateway, receiving network communications directed to one or more of the workloads from one or more of the remote gateways.
