Abstract: A method performed by a CPU of a cascade cell-free massive MIMO network where APs are connected in a cascaded fronthaul chain to the CPU using a shared fronthaul bus. An AP at the end of the cascaded fronthaul chain is assigned as a last AP. Responsive to determining that fronthaul UL data is received by the CPU from the last AP, it is determined that the last AP is healthy. Responsive to fronthaul UL data not being received for a period of time, data addressed to the last AP is transmitted through DL broadcast structure of the shared fronthaul bus; Responsive to the ACK signal being received, it is determined that the last AP is healthy and responsive to the ACK signal not being received, it is determined that a fronthaul segment until the last AP is not healthy.

Abstract: A method and a system for automated performance of capacity allocation, brokerage, placement, and provisioning of compute, network, and storage resources are provided. The method includes: receiving a first data set that relates to resource requirements of a user; retrieving, from a memory, a second data set that relates to resource availability; analyzing the first data set and the second data set in order to determine a proposed allocation of resources and a proposed timing that corresponds to the proposed allocation; and provisioning the resources to the user based on the proposed allocation and the proposed timing. A machine learning model that is trained by using historical resource allocation data may be applied to the first data set and the second data set in order to perform the analysis.

Abstract: A method for storing data blocks within a volume of data is disclosed. The method involves creating a frame header to identify encoding and a size of a data block, storing the frame header and the data block in the volume of data, and creating an identifying sequence to identify if a data block is encoded or unencoded and storing the data block with the identifying sequence and with a frame header if the data block is encoded and storing the data block without the identifying sequence and without a frame header if the data block is unencoded.

Abstract: An electric field mill (EFM) incorporates a novel rotor and shaft grounding mechanism providing a low-impedance path to ground via a bearing packed with electrically conductive grease. A removable bearing washer allows for servicing. The EFM includes a data processing scheme built around a peak detection algorithm and moving much of the signal processing to digital processing. A GPS disciplined sampling clock and cellular connectivity allow for use and maintenance of arrays of widely scattered EFMs.
