    Abstract: A self organizing network within a software defined networking environment is provided to allow for fast updating of radio access network parameters which enables optimization algorithms to converge on optimized configurations very quickly. The self organizing network is enabled by providing a self organizing network manager plug-in within a software defined networking environment that interfaces with a radio access network plug-in via a service abstraction layer to quickly obtain base station device parameters, iteratively adjust the base station device parameters to obtain optimized radio access network configurations to mitigate outages, reduce power consumption, manage load, or provide other benefits.

    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards an automation agent for network equipment configuration. The automation agent can be incorporated into a network automation platform. The network automation platform can include, inter alia, a communication channel, such as a data movement as a platform (DMaaP) communication channel, which is used by various components of the network automation platform. The disclosed automation agent can monitor the communication channel for network equipment configuration communications generated by other components of the network automation platform. In response to a network equipment configuration communication, the automation agent can create an interface update file comprising the updated interface configuration data, and send the interface update file to a network equipment configuration update service for deployment to the network equipment.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards automated configuration enforcement in wireless communication systems, which can be implemented in an audit manager (e.g. an ONAP micro-service) as part of an overall architecture. The audit manager obtains misconfiguration data representing misconfigured configurable parameter data of network elements of a radio access network, and corrective parameter data corresponding to the misconfiguration data. The audit manager issues a reconfiguration action to the network elements, which instructs the network elements to reconfigure their current configurable parameter data based on the corrective parameter data. Following reconfiguration, the audit manager operates to monitor the network elements performance, e.g., to check for performance degradation of a cell site relative to previous performance metrics.

    Abstract: A scalable virtualized network core is provided to allow for incrementally adjusting network resources in response to changing demand, and for improved flexibility in network management and control. The scalable virtualized network core provides a cloud evolved packet core that has virtual machines performing the functions of the individual server elements. As demand for network resources changes, additional virtual machines can be brought online or virtual machines can be terminated to efficiently address the demand. An abstraction agent can be provided to facilitate the physical to logical connections so that to the perspective of elements in a radio access network, no changes have been made. The abstraction agent also facilitates network control and management of the virtual machines.
