    摘要: A method for operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: a central office point of delivery and/or a load management entity or functionality thereof detects that an increased load situation is currently happening or determines that an increased load situation is likely to happen or that a specific task is to be performed; the central office point of delivery triggers the use of additional virtualized network functions and/or additional micro services and an additional message router and load balancing entity for handling the increased load situation and/or for performing specific tasks within the telecommunications network and/or within the central office point of delivery; and upon detection of a normal load situation, the central office point of delivery releases the use of the additional virtualized network functions and/or additional micro services and the use of the additional message router and load balancing entity.

    摘要: A method of configuring network elements in a design network topology includes receiving an image of the design network topology; attempting to retrieve design data from the received image corresponding to the design network topology; when the design data is retrieved, querying a topologies database using the design data to find a previously determined network topology that substantially matches the design network topology; when the design data is not retrieved, predicting a network topology using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm; identifying configurations for network elements in the matching network topology or in the predicted network topology in a configurations database; determining design configurations for the network elements of the design network topology from the identified configurations; translating the design configurations of the network elements to a standard format; and pushing the translated design configurations to actual network elements and/or virtual network elements corresponding to the network elements.

    摘要: A first network node may transmit an authentication proof to a second network node. The authentication proof may be based on a first credential associated with the first network node. The first network node may be authenticable based on the authentication proof. The second network node may identify whether the first network node is authentic based on the authentication proof. The second network node may transmit a configuration request to the first network node. The configuration request may include a phase-modulated indication of a second credential associated with the second network node. The configuration request may be based on a random phase. The second network node may be authenticable based on the configuration request. The first network node may transmit a configuration response to the second network node. The configuration response may include a phase-modulated confidential parameter. The configuration response may be based on the configuration request.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The system may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as spmart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The method includes a method for configuring a base station in a telecommunication network. The base station includes a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU is arranged to perform virtualized network functions (VNFs). The CU includes an artificial intelligence (AI) engine operable to learn from computational metrics and to adjust the configuration of various VNFs, wherein an F1 interface is used to exchange computational metrics between the CU and the DU.
