  • Systems and methods for disaggregated software defined networking control
    Patent number: 11962476
    Abstract: A software defined networking (SDN) controller for a communication network is provided. The SDN controller includes a northbound interface, a southbound interface, and a database as a service (DBaaS) layer. The northbound interface includes an application layer having one or more independent SDN applications. The southbound interface includes an adapter layer having one or more independent device adapters. The DBaaS layer includes a persistent DBaaS unit and a state DBaaS unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 2, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Randy Levensalor, Steven M. Pisarski, Christopher J. Corcimiglia, Dan Schrimpsher

  • SMART TAPS
    Publication number: 20200412393
    Abstract: Mitigating noise in a network is contemplated, such as but not necessarily limited to mitigating noise through a detection process whereby noise deviations resulting from selectively controlling smart taps, switches or other devices to block signaling in the network may be used to locate sources of noise.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADVANCED CORE NETWORK CONTROLS
    Publication number: 20200021490
    Abstract: A system for managing a core network is provided. The system includes a first computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The first computing device is in communication with a core network. The at least one memory device stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to store a plurality of historical data associated with the core network, receive current state data from the core network, compare the plurality of historical data with the current state data to determine at least one future state of the core network, and adjust the operation of the core network based on the at least one future state.
