Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain at least one search term and an identity of a searcher, identify individuals who are each either a one-step or two-step association of the searcher, identify first documents associated with the individuals and associated with the search term(s), calculate, for each individual, a score based upon citations of second documents to documents associated with the individual from among the first documents, generate an invitation to at least one individual to appear in a search result, and obtain a consent from the at least one individual. The processing system may then present the search result as an ordered list of at least a portion of the individuals, where the ordered list is ordered by the score for each individual, and where the at least the portion of the plurality of individuals includes the at least one individual.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a time series of measurement values from a communication network and train a prediction model in accordance with the time series of measurement values to predict future instances of an event of interest, where the time series of measurement values is labeled with one or more indicators of instances of the event of interest. The processing system may then generate a deterministic finite automaton based upon the prediction model, convert the deterministic finite automaton into a rule set, and deploy the rule set to at least one network component of the communication network.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, calculating a Fresnel zone about a line of sight (LoS) between a pair of antennas positioned on antenna mounts. The Fresnel zone is projected onto a geospatial grid of 3D cells, each having a height above a horizontal plane. Cells that intersect the Fresnel zone projection are selected to obtain a subset cells with constraint heights determined according to heights of the subset cells that are adjusted according to the Fresnel zone. The LoS is revised according to an algorithm to obtain a set of updated LoS. Those updated LoS that do not intersect the set of adjusted constraint heights are identified as solutions that include an optimal solution, should one exist. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process for selecting equipment locations such as of cellular antennas, based on a combination of a geospatial grid representation of a planning area and optimization algorithms (which can be combined with propagation models and a 3D model of the world) where the optimization algorithm can select a deployment from a large space of options and would make RAN planning much more efficient. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A processing system may obtain usage volume information for endpoint devices for at least one cell site of a cellular network, determine at least one earning value of the at least one cell site based upon a summation of an earning metric of each of the endpoint devices for the at least one cell site, the earning metric comprising for each of the endpoint devices in a given time period: a total earning for the cellular network from the endpoint device times a ratio of the usage volume via the at least one cell site divided by the total usage volume via the cellular network, train a prediction model to predict an earning value of a new cell site, based upon geospatial features of the at least one cell site as predictor factors, and determine a predicted earning value of the new cell site via the prediction model.

Abstract: A method includes parsing a regular pathway expression into fragments including an anchored fragment and at least one other fragment. A number of the fragments is based on at least a length limitation of the regular pathway expression. The method includes generating an operator directed acyclic graph (DAG) including non-operator nodes, operator nodes, and a root based on at least the anchored fragment. The method includes removing, from the operator DAG, at least one of the non-operator nodes and connecting a first operator node to a second operator node of the operator nodes. The first operator node includes an edge into the at least one removed non-operator node, and the second operator node includes an edge from the at least one removed node. The method includes executing the operator DAG on a graph database to return a pathway set comprising at least one pathway that satisfies the regular pathway expression.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by one or more processors, a weight of a link between a first node and a second node of a network, wherein the weight is proportional to a probability value of forwarding a probe packet from the first node to the second node of the network. The method also includes adjusting, by the processors, the weight of the link between the first node and the second node using binary exponential backoff. The method further includes determining, by the processors, to forward the probe packet to the second node of the network based on the adjusted weight of the link and one or more field values of the probe packet.
