Abstract: The present disclosure provides for encoding the signal using a window-based partitioned sequence of literals and then operating over this sequence to determine relevant periodic artifacts. A signal can be received, and then the signal can be abstracted to a sequence of literals. Repeating sub-sequences of literals can be identified in windows of time that increase in width until a repeating sub-sequence is found. Once a repeating sub-sequence is found, the window of time is shifted, and the process repeated. Once the temporal variations of the artifacts are known for the signal, the reference voltage at each of the time periods can be found by resampling the signal in different windows of time, finding temporary reference voltages that are means of samples in each window, determining the reference voltages for each time period, and then determining the DC reference based on a median of the list of reference values.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for service based architecture (SBA) for data analytics management (DAM). Configuration specifications are provided for configuring DAM entities for infrastructure management by infrastructure managers (InfMs), customer service managers (CSMs) for network slice subnet instance (NSSI), network slice instance (NSI) and service instance (SI) management, content and forwarding managers (CFM) for content and content cache management. Also provided are methods and apparatus for data analytics service provisioning regardless of DAM architecture.

Abstract: Method and system for performance assurance in a network slice subset instance (NSSI) or a network slice instance (NSI) of a network. The method comprises receiving, at a network management function (OAM) of the network, a trigger indicating a network performance deficiency; based on the trigger, determining, by a data analytics (DAM) function of the OAM (OAM DAM) in coordination with a network analytics function of one of the core network and a radio access network (RAN), an NSI/NSSI modification; and implementing, by the OAM, a change in at least one of: NSI/NSSI policies, configurations in at least one of core network functions, the RAN and network resources, in accordance with the NSF NSSI modification.

Abstract: Systems and methods described for providing capacity and coverage hole analysis in next generation wireless networks (e.g. 5G networks). Provided is a network function comprising a network interface for receiving data from, and transmitting data to, a plurality of network functions connected to a within a communication network; a processor; and a non-transient memory for storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the network function to receive a request for capacity and coverage hole (CCH) information from a capacity and coverage hole analysis (CCHA) consumer, collect the CCH information responsive to the request; and determine a capacity and coverage hole profile that is indicative of at least one of a network coverage sufficiency and coverage service quality based at least in part on the CCH information.
