Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive channel, beamforming, and traffic shaping management in a network including configuring an element management system to monitor, via a distribution unit (DU) and/or a central unit (CU) power and channel traffic at a plurality of cell sites in a network; applying, in response to a detection of a power outage at a cell site, at least one power saving schema including adaptive channel management, adaptive beam management, and/or adaptive traffic management, wherein the systems and methods incrementally reduce power consumption at the cell site by choking at least on channel based on a level of network traffic congestion. The systems and methods further limits users for congested channels, determines a relationship between power reduction as a result of the choking, arranges power to beamforming systems based on the choking, adjusts traffic of one or more applications, and move users of choked channels.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure various network functions are dynamically instantiated on a selected data center to utilize the most efficient and rapid resources available. An analytic module and a data lake receive performance data from the various data centers of a cellular network, such as a Regional Data Center, a National Data Center and an Edge Data Center. The analytic module will analyze the received performance data and apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to determine current resource use and estimate future resources available on various data centers of the cellular network. The appropriate data center is then selected to perform a particular network function.

Abstract: A first cellular network may connect user equipment (UE) with a data network using a first anchor point. The first cellular network may transition the UE from the first anchor point to a second anchor point. Following the transitioning, the first cellular network may connect the UE with the data network using the second anchor point. The UE may then be transitioned from the second anchor point to a converged anchor point of the first cellular network. The UE may be locked to the converged anchor point while the UE is communicating with a second cellular network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for predicting tower downtimes in a cellular or wireless network and taking preemptive measures relative to the predicted downtime. One or more towers in a cellular network are selected to predict whether they are or are about to experience downtime. A prediction model trained to predict downtimes of towers sharing a characteristic with the one or more selected towers. Current information associated with the one or more selected towers is obtained and used in the prediction model to generate a downtime prediction for the one or more selected towers. The downtime prediction for the one or more selected towers is then provided to an administrator.

Abstract: A method for performing a software update that reduces down time in a Radio Access Network (RAN) is disclosed. A first computing device receives first Distributed Unit (DU) configuration information including an address of a first radio unit (RU) device. The first computing device cause the first RU device to stores an address of the first computing device as a value of a configuration parameter. After a second computing device installs software, the second computing device receives the first DU configuration information including the address of the first RU device. The first computing device receives an instruction to stop data transmission to the first RU device. The second computing device causes the first RU device stores an address of the second computing device as the value of the configuration parameter. The second computing device receives an instruction to start data transmission to the first RU device.
