Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to modeling radio wave propagation in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, for a network application, identifying, by a system comprising a processor, a characteristic value of a performance characteristic associated with an uplink connection enabled via a network of a user equipment to application server equipment hosting the network application. The method can further include, based on the characteristic value and a criterion, selecting, by the system, a first packet size for the uplink connection. The method can further include communicating, by the system, to the user equipment, the first packet size for use with the uplink connection.

Abstract: A system that determines whether a trigger has occurred within a cloud infrastructure. The system, in response to determining that a trigger has occurred, extracts characteristics from one or more virtual network functions (VNFs) of a service chain. The system, in response to extracting characteristics from the one or more VNFs, determines rehoming actions for each of the one or more VNFs. The system, in response to determining rehoming actions, predicts a rehoming delay or a chain downtime for each of the rehoming actions for each of the one or more VNFs. The system determines an optimal rehoming action from the rehoming actions for at least one of the one or more VNFs using the rehoming delay or the chain downtime for each rehoming action of the rehoming actions. The system performs the optimal rehoming action for the at least one of one or more VNFs.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may provide a first instance of a plurality of instances of a database distributed at a plurality of different nodes, and a first instance of a plurality of instances of a middleware module distributed at the plurality of different nodes, the first instance of the middleware module associated with the first instance of the database. The first instance of the middleware module may be configured to receive a request from a first client to perform a transaction relating to a range of keys, confirm an ownership of the first client of the range of keys, execute operations of the transaction over the first instance of the database, and write a first entry to a first instance of an entry consistent store, the first entry recording a change of at least a value in the database resulting from executing the operations of the transaction.

Abstract: A method includes creating a session token including a session identifier and a current node, capturing a set of queries in a cache from a client device at the current node associated with the session identification, receiving a request from the client for data access at a second node wherein the request includes the session token, transferring a subset of data records from the current node to the second node, wherein the subset of data records is selected based on the session identifier and the set of queries; and granting access to the client to the second node.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process for improving tracking and visibility of a ticket may include changing a status of a ticket, allowing ownership of the ticket to be shared with an internal agent. The process may also include depending on the changed status, an internal group mapped to the ticket is selected from a list of available internal groups, and selecting an available internal agent from a list of available agents within the internal group. The process may further include updating the ticket such that ownership of the ticket is shared between the customer-facing agent and the internal agent.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sites a first plurality of key value data stores and a second plurality of key value stores. The first plurality of key value stores are provided with eventually consistent semantics for storing a plurality of keys. The second plurality of key value stores are provided with strongly consistent semantics for creating and storing locks created by a client. The system further includes a service for performing operations on the first plurality of key value store replicas and the second plurality of key value store replicas.
