Abstract: Embodiments for preliminary antenna configuration for a radio in an access point are described. A preliminary antenna configuration with a first number of antennas transmitting at a first power level based on a maximum transmission power for the radio is used to determine a second antenna configuration based on network level factors, where the second antenna configuration includes a second number of antennas. The second antenna configuration is used to determine a third antenna configuration from the second antenna configuration, where the third antenna configuration includes a third number of antennas transmitting at a third power level based on a client transmission factors for a plurality of client devices connected to the access point. The third antenna configuration is used to transmit network traffic from the access point to the plurality of client devices using the third antenna configuration.

First, a service migration policy may be created for a network that includes a plurality of edge clouds configured to provide a service to users. Next, a movement of a user receiving the service from a source edge cloud may be detected. The source edge cloud may be associated with a first area and the detected movement may be from the first area to a second area.

In response to determining to migrate the service, a target edge cloud may be identified and the service for the user may be migrated from the source edge cloud to the target edge cloud. The service migration policy may then be updated based on a success of the migration.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a management entity monitors for a change in a convergence rate of spatio-temporal compressive sensing measurements from a plurality of sensors in a sensor network operating according to a measurement matrix up to a halting criterion, and if the change is below a given threshold, determines whether the change is due to impulse noise or due to continued sensed measurements.
