Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for energy management functionality in a radio access network intelligent controller platform service.

Abstract: A network node transmits at least one measurement configuration to one or more devices for carrying out one or more measurements for determining at least one energy consumption estimate for at least one operation in a plurality of inter-related machine learning operations for network management. The plurality of inter-related machine learning operations comprises (i) one or more operations for collecting data, (ii) one or more data transfer operations to transmit the collected data to the network node, and (iii) one or more data storage operations to store the collected data and (iv) one or more data processing operations to process the collected data. At least one energy consumption estimate is determined using the one or more measurements. At least one network management related configuration is determined for carrying out one or more of the plurality of inter-related machine learning operations on the basis of the at least one energy consumption estimate for controlling energy consumption.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for increasing the reliability of a packet delivery by using dynamic packet cloning on a source node and an intermediate node, the method comprising the steps of calculating an achieved reliability, calculating a calculated reliability using the achieved reliability, determining which of a plurality of first routes that have a reliability greater than the calculated reliability, selecting a first route from the determined first routes wherein the selected first route has the lowest reliability of the determined first routes, when there is at least one determined first routes, selecting a first route from the plurality of first routes wherein the selected first route has highest reliability of the plurality of first routes, when there are no determined first routes, updating a required reliability in the packet header to the reliability of the selected first route and sending the packet on the selected first route.
