Abstract: In the present disclosure, functions associated with the central office of an evolved packet core network are co-located onto a computer platform or sub-components through virtualized function instances. This reduces and/or eliminates the physical interfaces between equipment and permits functional operation of the evolved packet core to occur at a network edge.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for out-of-band platform tuning and configuration are described herein. A device can include a telemetry interface to a telemetry collection system and a network interface to network adapter hardware. The device can receive platform telemetry metrics from the telemetry collection system, and network adapter silicon hardware statistics over the network interface, to gather collected statistics. The device can apply a heuristic algorithm using the collected statistics to determine processing core workloads generated by operation of a plurality of software systems communicatively coupled to the device. The device can provide a reconfiguration message to instruct at least one software system to switch operations to a different processing core, responsive to detecting an overload state on at least one processing core, based on the processing core workloads. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Technologies to monitor and manage platform, device, processor and power characteristics throughout a system utilizing a remote entity such as controller node. By remotely monitoring and managing system operation and performance over time, future system performance requirements may be anticipated, allowing system parameters to be adjusted proactively in a more coordinated way. The controller node may monitor, control and predict traffic flows in the system and provide performance modification instructions to any of the computer nodes and a network switch to better optimize performance. The target systems collaborate with the controller node by respectively monitoring internal resources, such as resource availability and performance requirements to provide necessary resources for optimizing operating parameters of the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods to generate maps or models of structures are disclosed. Features of the structure to be mapped may be determined for the purposes of generating the map or model based at least in part on images associated with the structure, sensor measurements associated with the structure, and phase data of communications signals that interact with the structure. The mapping or modeling processes may be performed at a mapping server that receives images, sensor data, and/or communications signal phase information from one or more user devices, such as mobile devices. The mapping servers may perform a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process and may enhance the generated maps using sensor and/or communications phase data to map one or more hidden features of the structure.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein are directed to predictive pre-caching of content for user devices. A service provider system may receive predictive pre-cache information associated with a user from a user device. The service provider system may obtain content based at least in part on the predictive pre-cache information associated with the user. The service provider system may determine a non-congested time to transmit the obtained content. The service provider system may transmit the content to the user device at the non-congested time.
