  • Patent number: 11442936
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220217626
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220150102
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring, by a control loop including a processor and a memory, a first environment. The control loop includes one or more predetermined control loop parameters. The method also includes receiving, by the control loop and in response to monitoring the first environment, first data from the first environment and receiving, by the control loop, information from an adaptation control loop. The method also includes determining, by the control loop, to automatically adjust at least one of the one or more predetermined control loop parameters based at least in part on the information received from the adaptation control loop and automatically adjusting, by the control loop, the one or more predetermined control loop parameters. The method further includes determining, by the control loop, to initiate an action based on the first data collected from the first environment and the one or more adjusted control loop parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220121161
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated control loop grading and data labeling (“ACLGDL”). An ACLGDL system analyzes results of an execution, by a control loop system, of a control loop. The ACLGDL system can grade the results. The ACLGDL system also can instruct, based at least in part upon the grade of the results of the execution, the control loop system to collect additional data. The ACLGDL system can label the additional data for use by an output system. The ACLGDL system can establish plurality of policies including a grading-analysis policy, a grading-results policy, a labeling-collection policy, a labeling policy, a publishing policy, and a notification policy. The ACLGDL system can publish the data labeled in accordance with the labeling policy based, at least in part, upon the publishing policy. The ACLGDL system can notify the output system based, at least in part, upon the notification policy.
