Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system for reducing tropospheric ducting and tropospheric refraction in a wireless telecommunication network. A base station or network component receives weather information and determines if conditions are right for tropospheric ducting or tropospheric refraction. A simultaneous rise in UL interference, call failure rates, and call drop rates in adjacent markets can indicate tropospheric ducting. A rise in UL interference, call failure rates, and call drop rates by devices in one market can indicate tropospheric refraction. Where these UL interferences, call failure rates, and call drop rates occur daily for a similar duration each day, they are treated as being caused by tropospheric propagation and a mitigation routine is implemented through antenna down-tilt.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) system controls multi-protocol virtual Probes (vProbes). A vProbe controller transfers protocol data and correlated header separation instructions to a vProbe in an NFV Infrastructure (NFVI). The vProbe receives the header separation instructions and the correlated protocol data. The vProbe receives data packets from an NFV switching system and identifies protocol data for the data packets. The vProbe uses the protocol data to determine the correlated header separation instructions. The vProbe retrieves header data from the data packets based on the header separation instructions and transfers the retrieved header data based on the header separation instructions.

Abstract: A method for optimizing retrieval of node data from network nodes is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining, by a network server via a network, a node data set comprising node data from a plurality of middleware sources, where each of the plurality of middleware sources provides node data about the same network node. The network server is determining a fault in the node data received from one of the plurality of middleware sources, and identifying the middleware source associated with the fault. In response to determining the fault and middleware source, the network server is bypassing the middleware source associated with the fault and retrieving raw node data directly from an element management system associated with the network node.

Abstract: A wireless data communication network controls wireless network relays. The wireless network relays wirelessly exchange user data with user communication devices responsive to network signaling. The wireless network relays wirelessly exchange the user data and the network signaling with wireless access points. The wireless access points exchange the user data with data gateways. The wireless access points exchange the network signaling with a relay signaling gateway. The relay signaling gateway exchanges the network signaling with a Mobility Management Entity (MME). The MME control the wireless network relays over the network signaling.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting vertical beamforming weights to influence a width of a vertical beam emitted from an antenna. A quantity of users present in a particular geographic area is determined, where the user devices have a line of sight with the antenna and are vertically distributed from other user devices. CQIs are received from the user devices. It is determined that the quantity of user devices is above a maximum threshold of user devices, and the CQIs indicated that channel quality is below a minimum threshold. The amplitude and phase components of the vertical beamforming weight are adjusted to modify the width of the vertical beam emitted from the antenna.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Software Defined Network (SDN) controls NFV resources consumed by Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). An NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) executes SDN application VNFs, SDN controller VNFs, and SDN data-machine VNFs. The NFVI responsively transfers SDN Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). A VNF control system processes the KPIs to generate and transfer NFV control data to lighten one of the SDN VNFs. The NFVI lightens the one SDN VNF responsive to the NFV control data by increasing access to NFVI hardware for the one SDN VNF.

Abstract: A method for intelligent reset delay of cell sites in a network is disclosed. The method comprises a network server communicatively coupled to a network detecting a malfunction and malfunction type from an element in a cell site of the network. The malfunction type corresponds with an automatic reset for the element. The network server is determining that the malfunction is chronic, and in response, delaying automatic reset for the element in the cell site. Based on the malfunction, the network server is determining an amount of disruption impact to the cell site that would be triggered by at least pulling diagnostics data from the element. Based on the amount of disruption impact, the network server is pulling diagnostics data from the element prior to reset and remotely initiating reset for the element in the cell site.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) data communication system implements hardware trusted Management and Orchestration (MANO). A Hardware (HW) trust server issues a HW trust challenge to a MANO system. The MANO system hashes its physically-embedded hardware trust key to generate a HW trust result and transfers the HW trust result to the HW trust server. The HW trust server validates the hardware trust result and transfers a HW trust certificate to the MANO system. The MANO system transfers the HW trust certificate and NFV MANO data to an NFV Infrastructure (NFVI). The NFVI validates the HW trust certificate. The NFVI exchanges user data responsive to the NFV MANO data when the HW trust certificate is valid. The NFVI isolates the NFV MANO data when the HW trust certificate is not valid.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying, to an external device, a client device having an external IP address assigned by a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. Initially, the NAT device provides an external IP address assigned to a client device to access an external device. Upon the client device communicating with the external device, the NAT device also provides an internal IP address assigned to the client device in an option field of the external IP address. If the external device later requests to communicate with the client device, and includes in the request the internal IP address in the option field of the external IP address assigned to the client device, the NAT device checks for sessions mapping to the client device. Upon determining there are no sessions mapped to the client device, a new connection is opened to the client device utilizing the internal IP address.
