    摘要: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for transparent integration of a wireless network (e.g., a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network) into a wireline network (e.g., a time sensitive networking (TSN) network) are provided. A method, system, and apparatus may receive, at a networking translator, a notification trigger related to a protocol data unit session from a networking translator client or a network function of a communication network. The method, system, and apparatus may cause transmission, at the networking translator, of notification information to a network controller of the communication network according to an interface.

    摘要: Various methods are provided for enabling the application of machine learning to network management and in particular to enabling cognitive network management in radio access networks. One example method may comprise interpreting one or more operator goals for the CNM or for a specific CF to ensure that the specific CF adjusts its behavior in order to fulfil the operator goals, abstracting an environment into states configured for use in subsequent decision making, wherein the abstracted environment represent are built from one or more of a combination of quantitative KPIs, abstract state labels, and operational contexts, defining legal candidate network configurations for different contexts of the CF based on the abstracted environments and operational contexts as inferred by the EMA engine, and matching a current abstract state, abstracted environment, or operational context as derived by the EMA engine to an appropriate network configuration selected from the set of legal candidate network configurations.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for use by a network agent element or function to conduct link layer information related processing. The apparatus is caused to receive first link layer related information from a neighboring network element or function, forward second link layer related information to a communication network control element or function, receive third link layer related information from a communication network control element or function, and forward fourth link layer related information to a neighboring network element or function. The second and fourth link layer related information are generated using first and third link layer related information, respectively. The second and third link layer related information is received and forwarded via a wireless connection path of a wireless communication network. The apparatus is connected to or part of the/or communication element or function, a communication network control element or function and a communication network data element or function.
