Abstract: A device obtains configuration parameters for multiple network elements of a network and receives first scores that assess a level of efficiency and a level of isolation for each of the multiple network elements. The device identifies a network element of the multiple network elements for modifying the identified network element's configuration based on the obtained configuration parameters and the received first scores.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, a request to establish a voice call. The device may determine that one of a plurality of endpoints is to be involved in the voice call with the user device. The device may transmit send-only invites to the plurality of endpoints. The device may receive, from a first endpoint of the plurality of endpoints, a receive-only response. The device may transmit a send-receive invite to the first endpoint, wherein the send-receive invite identifies a selected communication protocol as a communication protocol for the voice call. The device may transmit a send-receive acceptance to the user device. The send-receive acceptance may identify the communication protocol for the voice call, and upon the user device receiving the send-receive acceptance, the voice call can be established between the user device and the first endpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network. A network device in the production network may receive a registration request, from the UE device, that includes the configuration information. Based on the configuration information, the network device blocks the UE device from accessing the production network. Instead, the test network management system initiates provisioning of the test mode network segment for the UE device; and the network device redirects the registration request to the test mode network segment.

Abstract: A device receives personality profiles sent from multiple network elements of a network and obtains configuration parameters for each of the multiple network elements from the personality profiles. The device receives first scores generated for the multiple network elements, where each of the first scores relates to assessing a usefulness status of a respective one of the multiple network elements. The device identifies a network element of the multiple network elements for modifying the identified network element's configuration based on the obtained configuration parameters and the received first scores.

Abstract: A network node receives a registration message, where the registration message is associated with registering a user equipment (UE) with a call signaling network for sending or receiving calls. The network node receives a notification message from a call session control node in the call signaling network, where the notification message indicates whether the UE is currently provisioned to engage in calls via a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) network. The network node causes calls to or from the UE to be routed via the VoLTE network if the notification message indicates that the UE is currently provisioned to engage in calls via the VoLTE network, and causes calls to or from the UE to be routed via a legacy network, that is different than the VoLTE network, if the notification message indicates that the UE is currently not provisioned to engage in calls via the VoLTE network.
