Patent number: 11573841Abstract: Systems described herein may allow for the intelligent configuration of containers onto virtualized resources. Different configurations may be generated based on the simulation of alternate placements of containers onto nodes, where the placement of a particular container onto a particular node may serve as a root for several branches which may themselves simulate the placement of additional containers on the node (in addition to the container(s) indicated in the root). Once a set of configurations are generated, a particular configuration may be selected according to determined selection parameters and/or intelligent selection techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Matthew Kapala, Hector A. Garcia Crespo, Sudha Subramaniam, Brian A. Ward, Brent D. Segner

Patent number: 11558132Abstract: An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source on at least one physical resource block (PRB) and identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference on the at least one PRB. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are determined based at least on geographic locations of the first wireless station and the one or more second wireless stations. The plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimate interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations and a geographical map is generated based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations, wherein the geographical map includes indicia indicative of the relative scores of the plurality of estimated interference source locations.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ricardo Francisco Borges, Hector A.
