Abstract: A server system associated with a telecommunications network can determine a first location of a wireless device based on a cellular signal. The system determines whether the first location of the wireless device is within a predetermined distance from any entity location of multiple entity locations. The database can store location information for the multiple entities. The system can determine whether the wireless device has remained at the first location for longer than a threshold time based on the cellular signal received from the wireless device. In response to determining that the wireless device has remained at the first location for longer than the threshold time and that the first location of the wireless device is within the predetermined distance from a first entity associated with a first entity location, the wireless device can present information associated with the first entity to a user of the wireless device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic utilization-based network slice allocation management for user equipment applications are provided. In some embodiments, a slice estimation engine may be implemented to evaluate the network traffic and other application activity data associated with an application running on the UE to determine an operating mode of the application. The slice estimation engine may trigger the UE to request an adjustment to its network slice allocation configurations based on the evaluation. To determine whether or not an application should be reconfigured for a new network slice, the slice estimation engine may evaluate processes that are running on the UE. The slice estimation engine may comprise one or more slice assessment algorithms that determine which slice from a set of available network slices would optimally serve the application based on the network traffic characteristics associated with the application's current mode of operation.

Abstract: The system obtains data associated with a failed interaction between a UE and a wireless telecommunication network and makes a series of determinations based on the data, including missing connection summary parameters, missing signaling information, missing component carrier parameters, whether the node in the network is properly configured, whether an RF measurement matches an expected RF measurement, and whether a condition associated with a channel used in the failed interaction is satisfactory. The system provides the results of the determinations to the root cause analytics engine, which in turn, based on the results, determines a root cause associated with the failed interaction.

Abstract: The system obtains KPIs of the production RAN of the network and capabilities of multiple UEs interacting with the test RAN. The system creates a test case based on the KPIs and the capabilities of the multiple UEs interacting with the test RAN by: adjusting a type of traffic associated with the test RAN, adjusting traffic characteristics, and adjusting the capabilities of the multiple UEs interacting with the test RAN. The system runs a simulation of the test case interacting with the test RAN to obtain simulation KPIs. The system determines whether the simulation KPIs correspond to the KPIs associated with the production RAN. Upon determining that the simulation KPIs correspond to the KPIs of the production RAN, the system stores the test case in a database. Upon determining that the simulation KPIs do not correspond to the KPIs of the production RAN, the system adjusts the test case.

Abstract: The system scans a RAN associated with a wireless telecommunication network to obtain an indication of a hardware status and a software status associated with the RAN. The system determines whether there is an update to the hardware or software status associated with the RAN. Upon determining there is the update, the system obtains from a first database an indication of a remote radio head configured to test the update. Based on the indication of the remote radio head, the system obtains from a second database multiple UEs configured to test the update. The system tests the update by causing the remote radio head to send a communication to a UE among the multiple UEs. The system obtains logs associated with the communication and, based on the logs, determines whether the update passes the tests.

Abstract: Systems and methods for geolocation-based network slice allocations for dynamic edge computing resource management are provided. In some embodiments, a network function of an operator core network may orchestrate one or more service augmentation platforms on network edge servers based on identifying event(s) where UE use the telecommunications network to access cloud-based service from an edge server within a threshold proximity of the event(s). Orchestration of the service augmentation platform(s) may be based in part on determining a network service classification for the event(s) based on event data collected about the event(s). A network slice for accessing the service augmentation platforms may be granted to UE by the network function based in part on the UE geographic proximity to the location associated with the scheduled events. The network function may de-orchestrate the service augmentation platform based on the end of the event as indicated by the event data.

Abstract: Aspects herein provide systems, methods, and media for mitigating uplink degradation, noise, and/or other interference experienced between a user device and a satellite by blanking of physical resource blocks that are being used on the same or an overlapping radio frequency spectrum by user devices communicating with terrestrial base stations via a telecommunications network. When the uplink degradation, noise, and/or other interference is below a signal quality threshold, the telecommunications network identifies base stations with coverage areas that overlap with the coverage area of the satellite. The telecommunications network instructs and causes those base stations to blank physical resource blocks on the uplink channel(s) that correspond to the portions of the radio frequency spectrum at issue.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically modifying beamforming weights based on MU-MIMO user device pairings. A quantity of MU-MIMO user device pairings served by a node is determined. Based on a maximum quantity of potential MU-MIMO user device pairings for the node, it is determined that a quantity of the MU-MIMO user device pairings for the node is below a threshold. Because the quantity of the MU-MIMO user device pairings is below the threshold, beamforming weights are modified to widen a vertical main lobe to increase the quantity of MU-MIMO user device pairings.

In an example implementation, a method includes determining a first count defining how many user equipment devices (UEs) are connected with the access node and do not support a split-uplink-mode operation in which uplink user-plane data flow is split between air-interface transmission to the access node and air-interface transmission to another access node. Further, the method includes determining a second count defining how many UEs are connected with the access node as part of dual connectivity and support the split-uplink-mode operation. And the method includes, based on the first count and the second count, controlling whether the access node will allow the split-uplink-mode operation, such as whether the access node will allow new activation of the split-uplink-mode operation.
