A discovery computing system may receive an account identifier (ID) and a set of credentials required to access a first service account. The discovery computing system may transmit a first API query to a remote computing system. The discovery computing system may receive an organization identifier (ID) of the organization from the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may further transmit a second API query to the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may be further configured to receive information about a set of projects, in the organization, from the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may further generate a set of service accounts and further determine the set of resources, in the remote computing system, associated with each of the generated set of service accounts. The discovery computing system may further store the determined set of resources, as configuration items in a persistent storage.

Broadband communications devices and methods operate with at least two separate communication paths between the devices and the network, such as the Internet. The broadband devices and methods receive data concurrently over the communication paths or separately. The bandwidth is increased when the separate communication paths are combined. The broadband devices employ packetized data with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies combined with RF communications technologies.

Transaction-enabled systems and methods for royalty apportionment and stacking are disclosed. An example system may include a plurality of royalty generating elements (a royalty stack) each related to a corresponding one or more of a plurality of intellectual property (IP) assets (an aggregate stack of IP). The system may further include a royalty apportionment wrapper to interpret IP licensing terms and apportion royalties to a plurality of owning entities corresponding to the aggregate stack of IP in response to the IP licensing terms and a smart contract wrapper. The smart contract wrapper is configured to access a distributed ledger, interpret an IP description value and IP addition request, to add an IP asset to the aggregate stack of IP, and to adjust the royalty stack.

Provided are a BIER packet forwarding method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The BIER packet forwarding method is applied to a packet sending node and includes: setting node information of a BIER forwarding neighboring node in a BIFT forwarding entry; in a case of determining according to the node information that the BIER forwarding neighboring node has a capability of processing a target packet format, encapsulating a BIER packet according to the target packet format; and sending an encapsulated BIER packet to the BIER forwarding neighboring node.

The disclosure provides a method and a device for efficiently operating network slicing. According to the disclosure, a method of operating a first node configured to manage a network slice of a communication system includes: transmitting a service level agreement (SLA) range for each network slice subnet and a message requesting a resource according to the SLA range to a second node configured to manage the network slice subnet, receiving SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in the network slice subnet unit from the second node, and identifying the SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship in a network slice unit based on the received SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in a network slice subnet unit.

The disclosure relates to a communication technique and a system thereof that fuse a 5th generation (5G) communication system with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to support a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) system. The disclosure is applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related service, etc.) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The disclosure is about telecommunication and 5G network slicing technology. A method for defining a network slice template (NST) to provide network slice, for generating a network slice instance (NSI), and a system for managing them are provided.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a computer-implemented method for scheduling transmissions of a plurality of data streams in a telecommunication network. The transmissions are partitioned into transmission cycles with a predetermined length in time. Repetitive transmissions of each of the data streams are transmitted based on the predetermined length multiplied by a respective repetition rate. The method includes: determining a path through the network for the transmissions of each stream; determining a shared transmission links based on a comparison of the paths, wherein each shared transmission link is part of at least two of the paths; based on a numerical optimization, determining a phase of the repetitive transmissions for each data stream, the optimization using an objective function with a value for interference between two repetitive transmissions; and scheduling the transmissions of each data stream, wherein the transmissions start at a transmission cycle associated with the respective phase.

At a first compute instance run on a virtualization host, a local instance scaling manager is launched. The scaling manager determines, based on metrics collected at the host, that a triggering condition for redistributing one or more types of resources of the first compute instance has been met. The scaling manager causes virtualization management components to allocate a subset of the first compute instance's resources to a second compute instance at the host.

A centralized dynamic resource allocation is suggested to adjust a resource allocation for at least two DPUs. Also, a method for adjusting a resource allocation for the at least two DPUs by a centralized dynamic resource allocation entity is provided. Further, a system comprising at least one such device is proposed.
