Abstract: A cellular network having radio access network (RAN) nodes where each RAN node includes (i) a central unit (CU) that resides on a public cloud of the cellular network, (ii) a distributed unit (DU) that resides on a private cloud of the cellular network such that the DU is in communication with the CU on the public cloud of the cellular network, and (iii) a radio unit (RU) under control of the DU. The cellular network also has network repository functions (NRFs) that are distributed on the cellular network and reside on at least the public cloud of the cellular network where the NRFs control operation of cell sites and local data centers (LDCs) on the cellular network. The network also has processors configured to control data collection edge applications residing with the NRFs that are distributed on the cellular network.

Abstract: Systems, machine-readable media, and methods may facilitate accelerating software change requests in deployment pipelines. Operations of a deployment pipeline for testing and deploying a software change may be monitored, the operations corresponding to a set of input requirements for testing and deploying the software change. Data composites may be collected. The data composites may be created and may include pipeline information associated with operations of the deployment pipeline. Rules corresponding to software change request protocols may be learned and may define mappings of the data composites to requirements pertaining to software change request operations of the deployment pipeline. Input required for a software change request may be decreased based on the learning so that the input required for the software change request conforms to a subset of the set of input requirements.

Abstract: Systems and method are directed towards dynamically determining how to provision networking services. First and second user plane functions are initialized for first and second service areas, respectively. The second service area and the first service area share an overlap area. A request is received from a user equipment to connect to a network, and a location of the user equipment is identified. Determination is made whether the location is in the overlap area. In response to the location being in the overlap area, a first load of the first user plane function and a second load of the second user plane function are determined. In response to the first load exceeding the second load, the user equipment is connected to the second user plane function. In response to the second load exceeding the first load, the user equipment is connected to the first user plane function.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for managing user experiences during cellular telecommunication outages within a wireless telecommunication network, such as a wireless 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods managing user experiences during a cellular telecommunication network outage utilizing a backup data center. For example, in response to the distributed unit (DU) detecting there exists the failure in communication between the DU and the corresponding primary centralized unit control plane (CU-CP), the system causes the DU to switch from using the corresponding primary CU-CP to using the secondary CU-CP of a secondary CU hosted on the backup cloud-native virtualized compute instance based on utilizing a secondary ID pre-configured on the DU.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to one another. The memory may be configured to store a data lake and multiple existing spectrum administration service (SAS) configuration commands. The processor may be configured to perform first SAS operations in accordance with the existing SAS configuration commands, collect multiple channel parameters from one or more communication channels configured to provide connectivity between user equipment and a core network, store the channel parameters in the data lake, monitor the channel parameters in the data lake, and generate optimized SAS configuration commands based at least in part upon the channel parameters. Further, the processor is configured to compare the optimized SAS configuration commands to the existing SAS configuration commands and perform second SAS operations in accordance with the optimized SAS configuration commands.

Abstract: System and method for selecting location data to be used as the location of a user device using a location-based service. Horizontal location data and vertical location data for the user device are obtained from multiple sources. A horizontal location uncertainty and a vertical location uncertainty are determined or obtained for each source. In response to determining that both the horizontal location uncertainty meets a threshold horizontal uncertainty value and the vertical location uncertainty meets a threshold vertical uncertainty value, the corresponding source is identified as compliant. If there are no compliant sources, then alternative threshold horizontal uncertainty value or alternative threshold vertical uncertainty value are selected and used to determine if a source is compliant by meeting the alternative thresholds. In response to identifying at least one compliant source, an optimum compliant source is selected to provide as the location of the user device using the location-based service.

Abstract: A location of a mobile phone in a cellular network is determined when the mobile phone has been turned off, placed in airplane mode, inactive mode or in idle mode. A first cell of interest and times of interest is received, and a location determination server in communication with the cellular network requests call data records (CDRs) associated with the first cell of interest and the times of interest. The location determination server receives the requested CDRs and determines possible locations of the mobile phone at the times of interest when the mobile phone antenna is powered off, airplane mode, idle or inactive using the received CDRs.

Abstract: A method for generating a digital twin of a radio network (RN) is disclosed that includes accessing, by one or more processing devices, a digital twin representation (DTR) of the RN, the RN including a plurality of nodes configured to enable communications between wireless user equipments (UEs), the DTR including virtual representations of the plurality of nodes and the interconnections. Using a trained machine learning (ML) model, a subset of the DTR is identified, the subset being representative of operating conditions for a particular time range. The method includes determining, by the processing devices via monitoring parameters of the subset of the DTR, that at least one of the operating conditions of the RN is outside of an expected range. In response to determining that the operating conditions of the RN is outside of the expected range, generating an output signal is generated indicative of a condition of the RN.

Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, devices and other aspects of a wireless data network are described. According to various embodiments, message flooding in the wireless network is reduced through the use of “dummy” messages from the radio unit (RU) to the distributed unit (DU) and/or layer two (L2) switch. The dummy messages prevent timeout of the RU's data in the L2 switch's routing tables, thereby prolonging the period of time that the L2 switch is able to more efficiently direct subsequent traffic toward that particular device.
