    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamic bid-driven reconfiguration in a wireless communication network. An analytics front-end system (AFES) can be implemented in a provider network. The AFES can obtain network service experience (NSE) predictions derived by a network data analytics function (NWDAF) based on network status data received from back-end network functions of the provider network. The AFES can generate bid options based on the NSE predictions, each having a respective NSE definition and bid value. The bid options can be output to a user bidding interface, via which a user can review and select the bid options. In response to the user selecting one of the bid options, the AFES can direct a network policy server to update one or more subscriber policy definitions for one or more subscribers based on the respective NSE definition of the selected bid option, thereby dynamically updating at least one subscriber's NSE.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and processes for identifying and detecting an interfering signal are described. A process may include conducting a scan of one or more frequency bands to obtain at least one scan result and determining therefrom if a response condition has been detected. If so detected, a first frequency band corresponding to the detected response condition may be identified and a response condition action to be performed determined. If no response condition action is to be performed, scanning continues. If a response condition is to be performed two or more available sensors are identified and a first sensor is selected. A scan plan is developed and then initiated by the first sensor. Data from the first sensor is received and analyzed to identify a second frequency band indicative of an interfering signal. Based on at least the scan data, a location for a signal interference source (SIS) may be estimated.

    Abstract: According to the present disclosure various network functions are dynamically instantiated on a selected data center to utilize the most efficient and rapid resources available. An analytic module and a data lake receive performance data from the various data centers of a cellular network, such as a Regional Data Center, a National Data Center and an Edge Data Center. The analytic module will analyze the received performance data and apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to determine current resource use and estimate future resources available on various data centers of the cellular network. The appropriate data center is then selected to perform a particular network function.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for customer specific network slicing include a virtual network operator (“VNO”) server, a first node, and a virtualized network. The VNO server instantiates a solution manager engine which identifies a Solution, communicates the Solution to the first node, and upon acceptance of the Solution by the first node, instructs the virtualized network to couple the first node with a second node in accordance with the Solution. The virtualized network may include network function virtualization infrastructure and the Solution may include a slice of the virtualized network. The slice satisfies a Service Level Requirement (SLR), such as one that specifies a maximum latency for the slice. The SLR is specified in a Need received by the VNO server from the first node. The SLR is determined based upon an application program the first Node is at least one of currently executing and expected to later execute.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for end-to-end overwatch of communication sessions in a network for fast failure recovery. At any time, network functions (NFs) can be supporting end-to-end connectivity for large numbers of concurrent active communication sessions. Conventionally, if one or more of the NFs fail, session context information can be irretrievably lost, and session connectivity is lost. Embodiments provide an overwatch system in an overwatch plane of the network to determine critical session context dataset (CSCDs) for NFs participating in active communication sessions, and to continuously take snapshots of the entire end-to-end context of active communication sessions in accordance with the CSCDs and endpoint information for the NFs. In the event of a session failure, embodiments generate recovery data from the recorded end-to-end context data, which can be used to rapidly restore full, end-to-end session connectivity, thereby maintaining the active communication session without a loss of session context.

    Abstract: A policy adjustment system changes a quality of service attribute for a user device without affecting the policy applied to the user device. The policy adjustment system applies a policy to a plurality of user devices, the policy defining one or more quality of service attributes. The policy adjustment system receives an indication that a quality of service attribute should be changed for a user device. The policy adjustment system changes the quality of service attribute for the user device without affecting the quality of service attributes for the other user devices for which the policy is applied.

    Abstract: A subscriber identity module (SIM) card includes a housing, a printed circuit board contained within the housing, and a plurality of metallic contact pads on a surface of the printed circuit board. At least one contact pad of the plurality of metallic contact pads comprises an enclosed, interior portion. The SIM card further includes a corrosive chemical agent contained within the interior portion. The corrosive chemical agent reacts chemically with the at least one metallic contact pad, in the presence of oxygen, to cause the at least one metallic contact pad to corrode over a period of time.
