Abstract: A method may include a processing system having at least one processor obtaining a first plurality of domain name system traffic records, generating an input aggregate vector from the first plurality of domain name system traffic records, where the input aggregate vector comprises a plurality of features derived from the first plurality of domain name system traffic records, and applying an encoder-decoder neural network to the input aggregate vector to generate a reconstructed vector, where the encoder-decoder neural network is trained with a plurality of aggregate vectors generated from a second plurality of domain name system traffic records. In one example, the processing system may then calculate a distance between the input aggregate vector and the reconstructed vector, and apply at least one remedial action associated with the first plurality of domain name system traffic records when the distance is greater than a threshold distance.

Abstract: In multicarrier networks mobile devices can be distributed amongst carriers based on different criteria. However, prioritization may cause certain devices to end up on a carrier that is not optimal for the network. When there is a deployment of different types of cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, etc.), the cells can use the same frequency. Consequently, a priority value contained within a system information broadcast message can override the mobile default cell transition procedures and thus select a neighboring cell based on additional criteria. Thus, small cells can be deployed to offload traffic from macro cells in spite of the small cells and macro cells operating in the same frequency band.
