Abstract: Concepts and technologies directed to global positioning system spoofing countermeasures are disclosed. Embodiments can include a system that comprises a processor and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that configure a processor to perform operations that include identifying a mobile transportation equipment that includes an electronic logging device and a low-power wide area device, where the electronic logging device obtains GPS location data from a GPS receiver unit and the low-power wide area device obtains independent location data via a narrow band path of a low-power wide area network. The operations can include determining that a spatio-temporal misalignment exists between the independent location data and the GPS location data for the mobile transportation equipment, and providing spatio-temporal data alignment. The operations can include determining that a GPS spoofing attack has occurred, and creating a GPS spoofing alert for the mobile transportation equipment.

Abstract: A system and method for providing on-demand Integrated capacity and reliability Service Level Agreement (SLA) Software License (ISL). The disclosed approach allows customized purchase of capacity together with the desired reliability SLA at fine granularity of both quantities. The ISL licensing approach can be applied in the distributed Processing Entities (PEs) systems and also in the Virtual Machines (VMs) based cloud computing model. The on-demand ISL licensing approach makes use of an ISL dimensioning methodology (implemented using an ISL Manager) and an ISL Controller (ISLC) that keeps track of the capacity usage at the system level together with the periodic monitoring of health status of PEs or VMs. The ISLC dynamically controls the capacity usage as well as the reliability SLA based on the aggregated workload utilization conditions from all the PEs or VMs, hence allowing the delivery of the user-purchased level of guaranteed reliability SLA in an economical manner.

Abstract: To perform load balancing across plural processing entities, load level indications associated with plural processing entities are received. The load level indications are representations based on applying a concave function on loadings of the plural processing entities. A processing entity is selected from among the plural processing entities to assign work according to the load level indications.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for controlling overload in a telecommunications network. The network carries a traffic load that may include traffic of multiple classes and mixed types. The method determines whether the traffic load has exceeded one or more overload thresholds. Each threshold is associated with a class or type of traffic. If one or more of the thresholds have been exceeded, the method sets a timer associated with the exceeded threshold. Each timer has a state (e.g., expired or not expired) and the states of the timers are used to look up a function for controlling the overload. The function is used to alter the traffic flow of one or more of the traffic classes.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for controlling overload in a telecommunications network. The network carries a traffic load that may exceed a maximum resource capacity and drive the network into an overload state. The method determines whether an overload state has occurred by comparing a current resource capacity to an overload onset threshold. If the threshold has been exceeded, the method blocks a certain percentage of traffic. An incrementally increasing percentage of traffic is blocked until the resource capacity crosses an overload abatement level. The method then incrementally decreases the percentage of blocked traffic until no traffic is blocked.
