Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining order consistency for asynchronous writes in a network device. In one embodiment, a method includes issuing, by a feature agent of a network device, a plurality of writes to software tables which may be contained in the feature agent.

Abstract: Systems and methods to identify a growth classification/categorization for a geographic area that helps a network provider to solve for what types of planning opportunities are available at various area granularities is disclosed. The system computes values for a set of growth criteria for a geographic area. The growth criteria are related to planning, usability, customer experience, sales, population, and so on. Based on the growth-criteria values, the system identifies a classification/categorization for the area. For example, the system classifies an area as an invest area (e.g., requiring engineering action), a grow area (e.g., requiring sales action/being sales ready), a defend area (e.g., requiring engineering and sales actions to continue current trend), or a fix area (e.g., likely requiring both engineering and sales actions to improve current trend). Based on the area classification, the system can then provide actionable insights to drive improvement in network coverage and customer experience.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling resource requests in programming of network device tables. A feature agent of a network device enters a resource request for a resource in a resource table and a resource server returns a response to the request, where the response includes a resource value and a dependency constraint encapsulating validity criteria for utilizing the resource value. When the resource value and dependency constraint are returned, the feature agent writes an entry to a software table, where the software table entry includes the resource and the corresponding dependency constraint. A hardware examines the software table entry and determines whether the dependency constraint has been satisfied. When the dependency constraint has been satisfied, the hardware agent writes an entry corresponding to the software table entry in a hardware table. The network device then processes packets according to the hardware table with the new entry.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for optimizing the allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) for user equipment (UE), such as a Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) device, within a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) spectrum. More specifically, a resource allocation controller that is configured to select one of at least two resource allocation algorithms that allocate physical resources within an LTE spectrum, based on an identity of the UE and an analysis of real-time or near real-time physical resource utilization and control utilization within the LTE spectrum. In one example, the resource allocation controller may analyze the physical resource utilization and control utilization within a subframe of an LTE spectrum to determine whether to allocate an exact or near-exact number of PRBs for data communications of a UE (i.e. NB-IoT device), or whether to allocate a PRB group (at least four PRBs) for data communications of the UE.
