Patent number: 11442936Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated control loop searching (“ACLS”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, an ACLS system can create a search model that provides high-level information regarding what the ACLS system should search for when a search pattern is detected within data that is output from execution of a control loop. The ACLS system can activate a control loop system that executes the control loop to yield the data as output. The ACLS system can detect the search pattern within data, and in response, the ACLS system can execute, based upon the search model, a search of the data. The ACLS system can collect search results of the search and select additional data from the search results.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey Aaron, James Fan

Publication number: 20220217626Abstract: Fast-aiding radio access network intelligent controllers (RICs) can assist other RICs that are experiencing performance issues. The system can take into account the availability of other RICs that can aid the RIC needing assistance. Therefore, multiple RICs cooperatively working together can generate synergies, and allow differentiated RICs to operate in both predefined and/or dynamically create RIC groups. Once a RIC that needs assistance is identified, other RICs can offload functionalities that are less important than the functionality of the RIC that is experiencing the performance issues. After the assisting RIC has offloaded its functionalities, it can then devote resources to the RIC that needs the assistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Jeffrey Aaron, James Fan, Rittwik Jana, Manoop Talasila, Ojus Parikh
