    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for decreasing cellular network dead spots using microcells are detailed. A geographic map indicative of cellular network performance may be created. Using the geographic map, an area that has a cellular network dead spot can be identified. A subscriber database can be used to identify a subscriber address that is in a location to extend the cellular network within the dead spot. Based on analyzing the subscriber database to identify the subscriber address that is in the location to extend the cellular network, a microcell can be caused to be deployed at the subscriber address. Cellular services can then be provided using the microcell to various pieces of user equipment.

    Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for providing autonomous wireless coverage. In some implementations, the autonomous wireless coverage providing machine (e.g., a mobile wireless tower) can move to various locations to optimize coverage, connectivity, and/or quality. The mobile wireless tower can collect environment data of a location and determine the terrain and wireless devices requesting coverage. The mobile wireless tower can identify a location to provide network coverage to the devices based on the terrain. In some implementations, the mobile wireless tower can determine a location to provide coverage using Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning retrieved from the network for which the mobile wireless tower provides coverage. The mobile wireless tower can have a flexible length wired or wireless backhaul capability for the mobile wireless tower to send data and retrieve data stored on the network.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for cognitive defined network management (CDNM) that seek to perform real-time collection and analysis of raw network data from across a disaggregated wireless network and to dynamically orchestrate network management functions substantially in real time, accordingly. For example, a multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) engine is trained to normalize the heterogeneous raw network data into homogeneous so-called “golden record data.” A repository of historical golden records can be maintained for generating data models for use in training AI network management applications. An orchestrator can operate to directing execution of pre-developed network management workflows based on results obtained from querying the trained AI network management applications with newly received (real-time) golden records.

    Abstract: An aggregate cell of a cellular network includes a plurality of dispersed modular cells. The modular cells each include a cellular radio and collectively perform the function of a cellular base station. A distributed clock is established by transmitting timing beacons from one or more of the modular cells. Each modular cell receives the timing beacons. Each modular cell that transmits a timing beacon provides a transmission timestamp to a cell controller. Each modular cell that receives a timing beacon provides a reception timestamp to the cell controller. The cell controller schedules signal transmissions from the modular cells based on the transmission and reception timestamps.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided that allow a user device to connect to a web browser for viewing one or more websites. The web browser is communicably connected to a platform that takes the data from the user’s online behavior and generates a personal data package of the user. In other aspects, the web browser has added the capabilities of generating the personal data package of the user as an add-on product. In other aspects, an individual or organization is also communicably connected to the platform or add-on product for accessing the user’s personal data package. After accessing the user’s personal data package, the individual or organization is able to pay the user via a financial institution, which is communicably connected to the platform or add-on product. In other aspects, the user data is stored in a storage on the platform and such data is available to one or more third-party subscribers.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for non-terrestrial network beam switching is provided. A non-terrestrial network base station includes a transmitter configured to transmit downlink data to user equipment and a receiver configured to receive uplink data from the user equipment. A channel bandwidth of the non-terrestrial network base station is divided into a plurality of bandwidth parts respectively corresponding to a plurality of geographic areas, and each bandwidth part is respectively associated with a satellite beam. When the user equipment is located in a first geographic area, the transmitter transmits the downlink data to the user equipment over a corresponding first bandwidth part. After the user equipment transitions from the first geographic area to a second geographic area, the transmitter transmits the downlink data to the user equipment over a corresponding second bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate multi-environment cellular network slice testing. A cloud-based test environment may be created and may include multiple cellular network components executed on a cloud-based computing platform. One or more slice testing requests may be received from a service provider system. Responsive to the one or more slice testing requests, one or more network slices may be created, where the one or more network slices may correspond to one or more portions of a cellular network. Slice testing may be performed with the one or more network slices within the cloud-based test environment. Results of the slice testing using the one or more network slices may be obtained.
