Abstract: In one example, a method and apparatus for optimizing a software defined network configuration are disclosed. In one example, the method determines a first network relative performance parameter for a current configuration of a network, based on respective weighting profiles associated with services for which the network carries data. The method then determines a second network relative performance parameter for a proposed configuration of the network, based on the respective weighting profiles associated with the services for which the network carries data. The proposed configuration is implemented in the network when the second network relative performance parameter is greater than the first network relative performance parameter.

Abstract: A method, computer-readable storage device and apparatus for providing collaborative area monitoring are disclosed. For example, the method monitors the area via a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises an optical sensor and a positioning sensor, detects an alarm condition, activates one of the plurality of sensors to capture information associated with the alarm condition, and sends a request for assistance to a neighboring standalone area monitor using a wireless communications protocol.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of receiving a smart contract for tracking a position of a mobile device from a quantum blockchain; issuing a token uniquely identifying location data for the position of the mobile device; receiving location data including the token from the mobile device, wherein the position of the mobile device is determined by displacement from an initial position using a quantum accelerometer; verifying the location data using the token; and storing the location data in the quantum blockchain. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that has a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of performing a packet analysis of protocol data unit (PDU) headers of inbound Internet and non-Internet traffic; determining whether the PDU headers identify the presence of a quantum payload and/or via deep packet inspection; detecting a presence of attack vectors in the quantum payload responsive to a determination that the PDU headers identify the presence of the quantum payload, wherein the attack vectors originate from a quantum computer, and wherein the attack vectors are cryptanalytically relevant; generating an alert responsive to detecting the presence of the attack vectors; and isolating compromised network elements, sets of elements, and/or other network components and/or subsystems, and route traffic around the compromised network elements, sets of elements, and/or other network components and/or subsystems. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include selecting a resource configuration for a network slice based on characteristics of a user device and historical data related to the user device, resulting in a selected resource configuration. The operations can further include facilitating communicating resource configuration data representative of the selected resource configuration for the network slice to a network device for allocation to the user device connected to the network device. The operations can further include facilitating allocating resources to the network slice in accordance with the selected resource configuration.

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.

Abstract: Beamforming techniques can improve base station transmission power and user equipment (UE) sensitivity reception. For example, beamforming can create a narrow beam, which can concentrate signal power in a much smaller region. Combined with base station (gNB) requests and UE location data, an accurate beam can be generated to cover a desired area. 5G base station broadcasts can utilize a globally unique cell identifier (e.g., physical cell identifier), and a locally unique cell identifier (e.g., new radio cell global identifier) to facilitate beamforming and mitigate handover failure.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include receiving proposed contract data representative of a proposed contract for access by an application of a user equipment device to resources of a network slice usable for the access by the application. The operations can further include, based on the proposed contract data, storing governing contract data representative of a governing contract in a storage device, with the governing contract being selected to control the access by the application to the resources of the network slice. The operations can further include scheduling use of the resources of the network slice by the application based on the governing contract data.
