  • Patent number: 12511577
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining availability of network service. In some implementations, a request indicating a location and a communication service level is received. A first subset of service providers or communication technologies is determined based on outputs generated by multiple first machine learning models each trained to predict service availability for different service providers or communication technologies. A second subset is selected from the first subset based on outputs generated by multiple second machine learning models trained to predict availability of different communication service levels for different service providers or communication technologies. At least one service provider or communication technology is selected from the second subset based on output generated by a third machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11870700
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a communication network using machine-learning techniques are disclosed. In some implementations, a forecasted amount of traffic for a communication network is determined using one or more network traffic forecasting models being configured to generate the forecasted amount of traffic based on data indicating one or more previous amounts of traffic for the communication network. A measure of network health is generated based on a measured amount of traffic and the forecasted amount of traffic. Data indicating one or more characteristics of the communication network is processed using one or more machine learning models to generate a predicted measure of network health for a future time period. An indication of the predicted measure of network health for the future time period is provided.

  • Patent number: 11722213
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for machine learning models for adjusting communication parameters. In some implementations, data for each device in a set of multiple communication devices is obtained. A machine learning model is trained based on the obtained data. The model can be trained to receive an indication of a geographic location and predict a communication setting capable of providing at least a minimum level of efficiency. After training the machine learning model, an indication of a predicted communication setting for a particular communication device is generated. A determination is then made whether to change a current communication setting for the particular communication device based on the predicted communication setting.

  • Patent number: 11489734
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training and using machine learning models to classify network traffic as IoT traffic or non-IoT traffic and managing the traffic based on the classification. In some implementations, machine learning parameters of a local machine learning model trained by the edge device is received each of at least a subset of a set of edge devices. The machine learning parameters received from an edge device are parameters of the local machine learning model trained by the edge device based on local network traffic processed by the edge device and to classify the network traffic as Internet of Things (IoT) traffic or non-IoT traffic. A global machine learning model is generated, using the machine learning parameters, to classify network traffic processed by edge devices as IoT traffic or non-IoT traffic.
