Abstract: A computing node includes interface circuitry and processing circuitry. To implement a spectrum harvesting entity in a wireless network configured for crowdsource-based unlicensed spectrum harvesting, the processing circuitry is configured to select a set of crowdsourcing nodes from a plurality of crowdsourcing nodes available in the wireless network. A plurality of spectrum occupancy reports (SORs) is received from the set of crowdsourcing. Each of the plurality of SORs indicates a channel occupancy status of a communication channel in the unlicensed spectrum sensed by a corresponding crowdsourcing node of the set and geolocation associated with the corresponding crowdsourcing node. A spectrum occupancy map of the unlicensed spectrum is generated based on the channel occupancy status and the geolocation provided in the plurality of SORs by each crowdsourcing node of the set of crowdsourcing nodes.

Abstract: A resource management framework may be used to improve performance of dominant and non-dominant resources for edge multi-tenant applications. The resource management framework may include an admission control mechanism, which may be used to balance disproportionate resource allocations by controlling allocation of unconstrained resources proportional to the requested dominant resources based on resource availability. The admission control mechanism may provide ongoing monitoring of dominant and non-dominant resource utilization, such as using a hybrid centralized-distributed telemetry collection approach. The resource management framework may also include a lightweight resource monitoring and policy enforcement mechanism on distributed networking elements to reduce or eliminate the exploitations of non-dominant resources.

Under one example, the programmable networking device is a switch that is deployed in a system or cluster of servers comprising a plurality of nodes. The switch selects one or more nodes to be remote memory server nodes and allocate one or more portions of memory on those nodes to be used as remote memory for one or more remote memory client nodes. The switch receives memory access request messages originating from remote memory client nodes containing indicia identifying memory to be accessed, determines which remote memory server node is to be used for servicing a given memory access request, and sends a memory access request message containing indicia identifying memory to be accessed to the remote memory server node that is determined. The switch also facilitates return of messages containing remote memory access responses to the client nodes.

Abstract: System and techniques for network slice resiliency are described herein. An indication of a fault-attack-failure-outage (FAFO) event for a network slice may be received. Here, the network slice is one of multiple network slices. A capacity in a slice segment may be estimated to determine whether there is enough capacity to meet a service level agreement (SLA) of the multiple network slices based on the FAFO event. In this case, the slice segment is a set of physical resources shared by the multiple network slices. Operation of the slice segment may then be modified based on results from estimating the capacity in the slice segment to address impacts from the FAFO event.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for peer-assisted safety models for autonomous and assisted-driving vehicles. In an embodiment, a safety-model service receives a safety-model request for a safety model from a target vehicle.

The safety-model service receives safety-model data associated with the identified one or more source vehicles. The safety-model service generates, based on the safety-model request and the received safety-model data, a target-vehicle safety model for the target vehicle. The safety-model service transmits the target-vehicle safety model to the target vehicle for use by the target vehicle.

Abstract: A computing node includes network interface circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry assigns available computing resources to a plurality of slice contexts. Each slice context of the plurality includes resource allocations of the available computing resources associated with multiple communication networks. A first portion of the resource allocations is designated as dedicated resources and a second, remaining portion is designated as shared resources. A FAFO event associated with a workload is detected. The workload executes on a network slice instance (NSI) associated with a slice context of a subset of slice contexts. The configuration of the NSI is restored to a pre-FAFO event state based on reconfiguring one or both of the dedicated resources or the shared resources of the slice context based on the resource allocations of at least a second slice context in the subset of slice contexts.
