Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an aircraft engine. A health parameter for the engine received from a first instrument is monitored by a health evaluation device communicatively coupled to a communication link between an engine controller and a second instrument which generates an operation parameter signal indicative of an engine operating condition. The health parameter is compared, by the health evaluation device, to a predetermined threshold. When the health parameter is below the threshold, the health evaluation device causes the operation parameter signal to be transmitted from the second instrument to the controller. When the health parameter reaches the threshold, the health evaluation device prevents the operation parameter signal from being transmitted from the second instrument to the controller, and transmits to the controller a fault signal to elicit a health response therefrom, the fault signal containing at least two mutually-exclusive fault codes associated with the operating condition.

Abstract: In 6G, there are multiple radios that can cover the same location at any time, and yet radio failure can occur. However, a mobile edge computing (MEC) platform can increase the footprint of adjacent radios to compensate for a failed radio. To reduce the failure interruption and maintain a quality of experience for a subscriber, the MEC can utilize a virtual session capability to communicate radio change of service characteristics to a service provider. Consequently, the change in service characteristics can comprise an expanded coverage area for adjacent radios such that a mobile device of the subscriber can take advantage of the expanded coverage area without experiencing an interruption in service.

Abstract: Unlike smart devices, Internet of things (IoTs), such as meter readers, generate very low revenue per user. Traditional tunnel/bearer based connection-oriented architectures do not scale economically for billions of IoT devices due to the amount of signaling overhead associated with GTP tunnel setup/tear down and the states related to GTP tunnels maintained at various parts of the mobile network. However, the mobility network can efficiently support massive stationary and/or mobile IoTs by reducing the amount of signaling overhead, the state of the IoTs kept in network, and simplifying the data plane when possible.
