  • Patent number: 12219395
    Abstract: A method for utilizing computing resources in a vRAN is described. A predicted resource load is determined for data traffic processing of wireless communication channels served by the vRAN using a trained neural network model. The data traffic processing comprises at least one of PHY data processing or MAC processing for a 5G RAN. Computing resources are allocated for the data traffic processing based on the predicted resource load. Wireless parameter limits are determined for the wireless communication channels that constrain utilization of the allocated computing resources using the trained neural network model, including setting one or more of a maximum number of radio resource units per timeslot or a maximum MCS index for the wireless parameter limits. The data traffic processing is performed using the wireless parameter limits to reduce load spikes that cause a violation of real-time deadlines for the data traffic processing.

  • Publication number: 20240419920
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein manage computing environments associated with radio access networks using a natural language interface. This is achieved through utilizing natural language processing to analyze user generated inputs and generate robust large language model queries. In various examples, the queries can include radio access network documentation, diagnostic data, and past interactions to provide custom context to the large language model. Accordingly, the query can cause the large language model to generate an operation sequence comprising a plurality of commands to interface with a resource management tool and control computing resources and supporting components. In this way, the present techniques can alleviate the technical burden on end users and minimize the risk of errors.

  • Publication number: 20240354170
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing resources in a computing network comprising a plurality of computing nodes and an orchestrator. Resources are identified that are available for use by workloads to be executed in the computing network. The resources are partitioned into resource classes and exposed to the computing nodes. When a requested resource is reserved for exclusive use, the partitioning of the resources is updated.

  • Patent number: 11997178
    Abstract: Described are examples for providing fine-grained real-time pre-emption of codelets based on a runtime threshold. A controller inserts checkpoints into extended Berkeley packet filter (eBPF) bytecode of a third-party codelet prior to verification of the third-party codelet. A device executes the codelet at a hook point of an application. The inserted checkpoints determine a runtime of the codelet. The device terminates the codelet in response to the runtime exceeding a threshold. The application can be a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) network function and the codelet can control the vRAN function or export network metrics. The application may be executed in a container management system that modifies a container for the application to mount code including a function associated with the hook point of the application to the container; detect an annotation for the container that identifies the codelet; and symbolically links the codelet to the hook point.

  • Publication number: 20240121081
    Abstract: An access control system is disclosed for controlling access to a resource. A request is received by a location attribute policy (LAP) server to access an encrypted resource. The LAP server accesses a resource policy that identifies requirements for granting access to the encrypted resource, such as a list of attributes of the requestor that are required and a dynamic attribute requirement of the requestor. The LAP server receives a cryptographic proof from the computing device that the requestor possesses the attributes and validates the proof based at least on information obtained from a trusted ledger. Once the proof is validated, the LAP server provides a shared secret associated with the dynamic attribute requirement to a decryption algorithm. The decryption algorithm uses the dynamic attribute shared secret in combination with one or more attribute shared secrets from the requestor to generate a decryption key for the encrypted resource.

  • Patent number: 11909575
    Abstract: A cloud-connected baseboard management controller (BMC) enables remote management of all management layers of edge-based host machines from the cloud without imposition of costs associated with firewalls and private data connections. A remote management agent incorporated into the BMC enables creation of a remote management-enabled bare-metal server paradigm in which remote management from the cloud is supported at the lowest hardware levels which provides for cost-effective utilization of network resources down to even a single isolated node.

  • Patent number: 11909813
    Abstract: Described are examples for deploying workloads in a cloud-computing environment. In an aspect, based on a desired number of workloads of a process to be executed in a cloud-computing environment and based on one or more failure probabilities, an actual number of workloads of the process to execute in the cloud-computing environment to provide a level of service can be determined and deployed. In another aspect, a standby workload can be executed as a second instance of the process without at least a portion of the separate configuration used by the multiple workloads, and based on detecting termination of one of multiple workloads, the standby workload can be configured to execute based on the separate configuration of the separate instance of the process corresponding to the one of the multiple workloads.
