Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with controlling a multi-tenant service-oriented architecture are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a collection of policies based upon who can access information of a user, wherein the information of the user is managed by a second service. A multi-tenant control module determines if a first service is able to contact the second service and obtain access to the user's information through the second service. An authentication service works in conjunction with the first and second services to assist in determining if the first service is able to contact the second service and obtain access to the user's information through the second service.

The system further includes a repository of a wireless network that includes a plurality of call trace records. In addition, the system includes an information processing system including a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor in communication with the planning database and with the repository of the wireless network. The memory device contains a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive at least of the plurality of call trace records from the repository of the wireless network and cause the processor to compare information in the at least one call trace record with corresponding information stored in the planning repository to identify one or more errors in the information stored in the planning repository.

Abstract: A method for automatic adaptive network planning includes receiving a first list which includes a plurality of potential sites. A set of the network coverage goals and one or more models substantially related to the network coverage are received. A wireless network coverage map is generated for each site based on the received model(s). The coverage map includes a plurality of locations within a corresponding coverage area. For each location and for each site the likelihood of the network coverage goals being realized is calculated using the generated wireless network coverage map. A second list of proposed active sites is automatically generated. The second list includes a subset of the sites included in the first list based on the calculations performed for each location. The second list of the proposed active sites substantially meets the set of network coverage goals.

Abstract: A system for detecting a faulty behavior of a User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network is provided. A trouble report information associated with a first UE is received. The trouble report includes information uniquely identifying the first UE and information indicative of trouble affecting the first UE. One or more geographic locations for each communication session associated with the first UE for a predetermined period of time are established. Performance metrics associated with the first UE are compared with performance metrics associated with a plurality of UEs. The plurality of UEs includes UEs that handled communication sessions at similar times and locations. The first UE is characterized based on the comparison.

Abstract: To adaptively self-localize distributed data processing and data distribution and reduce data transfer costs in a network monitoring system, data has a corresponding ownership association. For each data access, an ownership association value for the accessed data may be modified based on whether the access originated with a current owner processing node or a second most-frequently accessing processing node. The ownership association value indicates a strength of the ownership association between the data and the owner and is based on at least a recent history of accesses of the data by the current owner and the second most-frequently accessing node. When the ownership association value traverses a selected cutoff, ownership association of the data is transferred from the current owner to the second most-frequently accessing node. The ownership association transfer contributes to self-localizing data processing based on a source of input regarding the data.

The data set is assignable to a plurality of bins that are grouped differently than the plurality of data groups, wherein assignment of the data set to the plurality of bins is performed by accessing the plurality of data groups without accessing the data set or the plurality of data elements.

Abstract: A method for determining a mobility state of a mobile device is provided. A first estimated location of the mobile device is determined based on a first predictor set by generating a first location probability distribution associated with the first predictor set. A second estimated location of the mobile device is determined based on a second predictor set by generating a second location probability distribution associated with the second predictor set. A third estimated location of the mobile device is determined based on the first and second predictor sets and based on a combined first location probability distribution and second location probability distribution. A consistency analysis of the calculated first, second and third estimated locations is performed for the first and second predictor sets to determine the mobility state of the mobile device.
