Managing network event data in a telecommunications network A method (200) is disclosed for managing network event data in a telecommunications network, wherein a network event is associated with a plurality of network event data fields, and wherein the telecommunications network comprises a data storage facility for network event data, the data storage facility comprising a plurality of storage functions. The method comprises obtaining queries submitted to the data storage facility (210) and, for a network event data field, determining a frequency with which data in the network event data field is required in order to respond to the obtained queries (220) and using a trained machine learning model to map the determined frequency to a value of a selection parameter for the network event data field (230). The method further comprises performing at least one of (240) storing data in the network event data field in a storage function in the data storage facility, migrating data in the network event data field between storage functions in the data storage facility or deleting data in the network event data field from a storage function in the data storage facility in accordance with the value of the selection parameter. Also disclosed are a method (400) of training a machine learning model and apparatus and a computer program product for carrying out methods for managing network event data and training a machine learning model.

A method of assigning master controllers is disclosed. The method of assigning master controllers may be performed by any one of a plurality of controllers included in a software-defined network system and may include: establishing an objective function in which the number of flows passing through switches having different master controllers from among the flows entering during a unit duration of time is a decision variable; establishing at least one constraints; and finding a solution that minimizes the decision variable while satisfying the constraints.

Techniques are disclosed for promulgating service information and topology information in a network in a high availability manner. An example device is configured to create a first service and topology exchange protocol (STEP) document. The first STEP document includes service information and topology information. The example device is configured to send the first STEP document to a first STEP repository for forwarding to at least one subscribing network device. The example device is also configured to send the first STEP document to a second STEP repository for forwarding to the at least one subscribing network device.

Systems and methods of managing creation and configuration for 5G networks, NFs and NSSIs are provided. An instantiation or configuration request received from a managed entity respectively instantiates or configures the appropriate element. For NF instantiation, when the NF has a virtualized part to be instantiated by a VNF, interaction with an NFV MANO system instantiates the VNF is followed by NF instantiation notification and MOI creation for the NF. For NF configuration, the NF is configured and notification provided thereof. For network instantiation, after reception of a network creation request, interaction with the system to instantiate a NS that realizes the network is followed by determination that a new VNF associated with the NS has been instantiated, creation of a NF (constituting the network) MOI is realized by the new VNF, and NF configuration. For NSSI creation, a NF constituting the NSSI is created and configured.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for an approach for performing assessment of electronic resources stored in a distributed network. The system allows for receiving, from a user, an obligation request, identifying and assessing electronic resources associated with the user in a distributed network, and determining a score for the electronic resources using a prediction model. The system also allows for querying and identifying in a database relevant recorded resource transfers, assigning a relevance level for the identified relevant recorded resource transfers, and assigning a score to the electronic resources along with a confidence level.

A method for transmitting data through a multi-media communication network includes converting transmission entities into data symbols at a first communication device, transmitting the data symbols from the first communication device to a second communication device through at least two different types of communication media using only lower PHY layers of the at least two different types of communication media, and converting the data symbols into transmission entities at the second communication device. A network implementing a universal data link includes a first communication device configured to convert transmission entities into data symbols, a second communication device configured to convert the data symbols into transmission entities, at least a first communication medium and a second communication medium communicatively coupled between the first communication device and the second communication device, and a first physical-layer translator configured to translate data symbols without converting the data symbols into transmission entities. In order to reduce processing time and end-to-end latency, the physical-layer translator only performs demodulation and modulation operations, optionally also equalization.
