Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring, by a control loop including a processor and a memory, a first environment. The control loop includes one or more predetermined control loop parameters. The method also includes receiving, by the control loop and in response to monitoring the first environment, first data from the first environment and receiving, by the control loop, information from an adaptation control loop. The method also includes determining, by the control loop, to automatically adjust at least one of the one or more predetermined control loop parameters based at least in part on the information received from the adaptation control loop and automatically adjusting, by the control loop, the one or more predetermined control loop parameters. The method further includes determining, by the control loop, to initiate an action based on the first data collected from the first environment and the one or more adjusted control loop parameters.

Abstract: Personal adaptive radio access network advanced capabilities are provided. A device can include a transceiver; a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising facilitating movement of the device from a first position associated with a user equipment (UE) to a second position in response to an observed signal strength at the UE from a communication network being determined to have fallen below a threshold; in response to facilitating the movement of the device, determining a first communication frequency for communications between the device and the UE based on features determined to be present in an environment associated with the UE; and conveying signals transmitted by the communication network to the UE via the transceiver at the first communication frequency instead of a second communication frequency used by the communication network.

Abstract: Fast-aiding radio access network intelligent controllers (RICs) can assist other RICs that are experiencing performance issues. The system can take into account the availability of other RICs that can aid the RIC needing assistance. Therefore, multiple RICs cooperatively working together can generate synergies, and allow differentiated RICs to operate in both predefined and/or dynamically create RIC groups. Once a RIC that needs assistance is identified, other RICs can offload functionalities that are less important than the functionality of the RIC that is experiencing the performance issues. After the assisting RIC has offloaded its functionalities, it can then devote resources to the RIC that needs the assistance.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated control loop grading and data labeling (“ACLGDL”). An ACLGDL system analyzes results of an execution, by a control loop system, of a control loop. The ACLGDL system can grade the results. The ACLGDL system also can instruct, based at least in part upon the grade of the results of the execution, the control loop system to collect additional data. The ACLGDL system can label the additional data for use by an output system. The ACLGDL system can establish plurality of policies including a grading-analysis policy, a grading-results policy, a labeling-collection policy, a labeling policy, a publishing policy, and a notification policy. The ACLGDL system can publish the data labeled in accordance with the labeling policy based, at least in part, upon the publishing policy. The ACLGDL system can notify the output system based, at least in part, upon the notification policy.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated control loop searching (“ACLS”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, an ACLS system can create a search model that provides high-level information regarding what the ACLS system should search for when a search pattern is detected within data that is output from execution of a control loop. The ACLS system can activate a control loop system that executes the control loop to yield the data as output. The ACLS system can detect the search pattern within data, and in response, the ACLS system can execute, based upon the search model, a search of the data. The ACLS system can collect search results of the search and select additional data from the search results.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a multi-faceted license management approach to support multi-layered product structure. A model creation design and onboarding (“MCDO”) module can create an asset based upon input received from an asset creator. The MCDO module can store the asset in an asset catalog. The MCDO module can receive a search request from a collaborator. In response to the search request, the MCDO module can parse the search request to identify search criteria to be used to search the asset catalog. The MCDO module can search the asset catalog based upon the search criteria. The MCDO module can receive search results that include the asset. The MCDO module can create an enhanced asset based upon the asset created by the asset creator combined with a contribution based upon input received from the collaborator. The MCDO can store the enhanced asset in the asset catalog.

Abstract: Femtocell service is provided through a secondary connection to a network gateway node that is part of a service provider network. The secondary connection can be established in response to at least one telecommunication performance condition of a primary connection to the network gateway node; the at least one performance condition includes connectivity state of the primary connection or quality of traffic delivery through the primary connection. The secondary connection can be established, in part, via a home gateway node that is alternative to a home gateway node associated with a femtocell access point (AP) that enables, in part, the femtocell wireless service. The main home gateway node or the femtocell AP can initiate establishment of the secondary connection. Home gateway node(s) or femtocell AP(s) that can provide femtocell service through the secondary connection can manage connectivity with the network gateway node.
