Abstract: Presented herein are methodologies for implementing a system and apparatus to estimate a network disruption index and undertake a mitigation action accordingly. A method includes calculating a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network, comparing the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold, and when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identifying one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implementing the mitigation action.

Abstract: A plurality of data sets are compiled in a memory. A first data set comprises a location mapping of an item of interest within a predetermined environment, and a second set comprises energy usage data within the predetermined environment. The first data set is correlated, via a processor, with the second data set to locate a subset of energy usage data in the second data set associated with the item of interest. A third data set is generated by combining the first data set with the subset of energy usage data in the second data set to increase an accuracy of the location mapping of the item of interest based upon the subset of energy usage data. The third data set is applied to a computing resource.

Abstract: A network function (NF) entity in a communication network receives authentication data associated with a User Equipment (UE), determines the UE supports a blockchain registration procedure based on the authentication data, exchanges authentication messages with a Blockchain Roaming Broker (BRB) entity over a blockchain network interface, receives a blockchain authentication confirmation from the BRB entity, and registers the UE with the core network based on the blockchain authentication confirmation.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for predictively activating physical servers. Embodiments determine a plurality of physical servers that are available within one or more data centers. A plurality of virtual workload deployment requests that were processed within the one or more data centers during a historical window of time is determined. Embodiments classify each of the plurality of virtual workload deployment requests into one of a plurality of categories. A respective neural network prediction model is generated for each of the plurality of categories, based on the virtual workload deployment requests classified into the respective category. Embodiments then determine a number of physical servers to have active at a future moment in time, using the generated neural network prediction models.

Abstract: The present technology addresses a need in the art for an automated tool that allows users to create network-based custom workflows for networks and associated management applications. The users do not need to have in-depth network knowledge to work with the tool or even write any code/script. The tool provides the users with a flexible graphical user interface for automated troubleshooting, network provisioning, and closed-loop automation. Further, the tool uses a domain-independent semantic machine reasoning engine as an underlying engine and a mock data engine to test and validate network-based workflows created by the users.

Abstract: The present technology addresses a need in the art for a closed-loop automation system of a managed network that detects and fixes an issue in the managed network with minimal to no human intervention. The closed-loop automation system employs a domain-independent semantic machine reasoning engine as an underlying engine. After detecting the issue in the managed network, the system searches through a knowledge base to find a match for the detected issue. The knowledge base includes previously collected knowledge from subject matter experts and maintenance teams. The system then proposes a remedial action to a user of the managed network for approval. After approval by the user, the system implements the remedial action.

Abstract: A Network Function (NF) entity in a telecommunication network receives blockchain credentials associated with UE and selects a Blockchain Charging Function (BCF). The NF entity further generates a Charging Data Record (CDR) corresponding to network resources, and sends a charging request based on the CDR (and policy rules) to the BCF entity over a blockchain network interface. The BCF entity sends a confirmation of the charging request, and the NF entity, based on the confirmation, provisions the network resources to the UE.
