Abstract: A method and cloud-based resource management service is provides for optimizing a resource sharing process in a multi-tenant communication system. A resource sharing process is established electronically between a first tenant and a second tenant in the multi-tenant communication system. The resource sharing process establishes a first expected resource usage at the first tenant and a second expected resource usage at the second tenant. The cloud-based resource management service determines electronically a first actual resource usage at the first tenant and a second actual resource usage at the second tenant. The cloud-based resource management service utilizes electronically the first actual resource usage and the second actual resource usage to recommend modification of the resource sharing process.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing fault information of a first system device in a first communication system to change a second communication system is provided. A first fault update is received from the first communication system at a cloud-based fault management service. The first fault update includes a request to update first system device fault information in a common database. The common database is updated by the cloud-based fault management service with the first fault update. The cloud-based fault management service performs smart analytics utilizing the first fault update to change the second communication system.

Abstract: A mobile telephone is described. The mobile telephone includes a radio transceiver for transmitting a radio signal based on a measured signal strength of a cellular signal received from a remote transceiver. A processor is coupled to the radio transceiver. The processor monitors the measured signal strength over time and determines when the measured signal strength decreases to a predetermined threshold. A memory is coupled to the radio transceiver for storing the measured signal strength. A display indicates a time when the measured signal strength decreases to the predetermined threshold.
