Abstract: A computer-implemented method for addressing conflicts in a radio access network (RAN) includes generating, by a non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (non-RT RIC), a policy for a near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) by analyzing an activity log of several xApps, which are being executed by the near-RT RIC. The method further includes sending, by the non-RT RIC the policy to the near-RT RIC to cause the near-RT RIC, in response to receiving a request from an xApp from the several xApps to update a parameter of the RAN. The policy specifies an update the parameter based on the policy allowing the xApp to update the parameter. The policy further specifies maintaining the parameter unchanged based on the policy restricting the xApp to update the parameter.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating a data transformation adapter for non-standardized data between a data producer unit and a data consumer unit in a data communication environment is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing first data specifications of the data producer unit, and analyzing second data specifications related to the data consumer unit. The method also comprises matching data attributes of the first specifications with data attributes of the second specifications, generating dynamically a plurality of data transformation adapters using the matched data attributes, selecting a verified adapter ensuring that the matched data attributes of the first specifications and the data attributes of the second specifications are transformed correctly, and generating a minimal data transformation child adapter from the verified adapter based on current dynamic performance requirements of a data consumer, and data attributes currently used by an application of the data consumer unit.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating an awareness module on a first near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) that controls a first domain. The first near-RT RIC identifies a second near-RT RIC that controls a second domain, which has a mutual impact on the first domain. The first near-RT RIC creates a first border state that represents attributes of the first near-RT RIC and the xApps of the first near-RT RIC. The first near-RT RIC receives from the second near-RT RIC, a second border state of the second near-RT RIC. The first near-RT RI generates, a policy for the first near-RT RIC and the second near-RT RIC by analyzing the first and second border states. The first near-RT RIC updates a parameter only if the policy allows a requesting xApp to update the parameter.

Abstract: A method, computer program, and computer system are provided for real-time caption generation in an edge computing environment. Contexts related to one or more participants using a caption service in a web conference service are monitored. Personal characteristics associated with each of the participants are determined based on the monitored contexts. An edge device is selected from among a plurality of edge devices based on the determined personal characteristics. The selected edge device is configured to perform caption conversion a participant from among the participants in the web conference service. A lightweight user accent-oriented caption edge module associated with the selected edge device is customized for the participant. The customized lightweight user accent-oriented caption edge module is deployed to the selected edge device based on a corpus of captions associated with the user accent-oriented caption edge module most closely matching the determined personal characteristics.
