Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to collective intelligence-based cell congestion detection in mobile telecommunications networks. According to some aspects of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a core network element or device application can detect cell congestion based upon Internet layer, transport layer, and application layer data, such as, for example, traffic type, volume, rate, latency, jitter, and the like. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a cell congestion detection (CCD) system can collect data from an Internet layer, a transport layer, and an application layer. The CCD system can apply a machine learning algorithm to the data to determine whether the cell is congested. According to another aspect the CCD system can collect the data that is associated with a specific application executed by a plurality of UE devices connected to a cell.

A packet processing method includes: receiving, by a first network device, a packet, where the packet includes match object information and match condition information; determining, by the first network device, a to-be-matched network device among one or more network devices according to the match object information, determining, by the first network device, whether device information of the of the to-be-matched network device matches with the match condition information; and performing, by the first network device, forwarding processing or discarding processing on the packet according to a result of the determination.

A node comprising a receiver, a transmitter, a controller and memory storing program instructions. The node is suitable for participating in time synchronised data re-transmission within a network. The program instructions cause the controller, when executed by the controller, to receive, via the receiver an indication of other nodes in the network to which data is or is not to be re-transmitted, update a list of other nodes in the network to which data is or is not to be re-transmitted stored within said memory using the indication, determine, based on the list, whether to re-transmits data received from another node in the network and, when it is determined that said data is to be re-transmitted, re-transmit the received data using said transmitter.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for coordinated access to a wireless link through data profiles are disclosed. One method includes receiving through the wireless link, by each hub associated with a base station, one or more data profiles from a network management element, receiving, by each hub, data from data sources associated with the hub, controlling, by each hub, a timing of communication of the data for each of the data sources from the hub to the base station through the wireless satellite link based on the one or more data profiles, monitoring reporting times of different data sources of different hubs over time, allocating preamble codes to each of the data sources, wherein different preamble codes are allocated to different data sources of different hubs that report within a margin of time of each other, and inserting the allocated preamble codes into packets of each of the data sources.

A network device in a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) cluster is configured to: receive, from a wireless station, information associated with a User Equipment (UE) device that is wirelessly attached to a network through the wireless station and estimate a first time interval to complete a task for the UE device based on the information. If the first time interval is less than a threshold time interval, the processor is to: signal, through the wireless station, to the UE device to be in a connected state; execute the task; and send a result of the execution, through the wireless station, to the UE device.

A communication method and system are provided for converging a 5G communication system with technology for IoT. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a V2X includes receiving, from a terminal, a V2X message including location information on the terminal; determining a first MBMS broadcast area for a V2X service based on the location information on the terminal; transmitting, to a BMSC, a first request message for the V2X service including information on the first MBMS broadcast area and a first TMGI for the V2X service, wherein the information on the first MBMS broadcast area includes at least one MBMS SAI mapped to the location information on the terminal; and transmitting, to the BMSC, a second request message for the V2X service, the second request message including information on a second MBMS broadcast area for broadcasting second MBMS data for the V2X service and the first TMGI. The first MBMS data is broadcast within the first MBMS broadcast area, and the first TMGI is used for the second MBMS data, in case that the first MBMS broadcast area does not overlap the second MBMS broadcast area.

A method for secure path discovery in a mesh network at a destination device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a path discovery request from an originator device and selecting a path selection in response to the path discovery request. The method also includes transmitting the path selection to the originator device and receiving a random seed from a provisioner device. The method also includes generating an authentication code based on the random seed, transmitting an authentication code message to an originator device and receiving communications from the originator device only if the originator device receives a verification response message from the provisioner device which confirms that the destination device has been verified.

A Centralized Self Organizing Network (C-SON) automation platform for managing a backhaul infrastructure in a telecommunication network. The C-SON automation platform monitors one or more backhaul utilization performance indicators corresponding to a backhaul infrastructure, which infrastructure transports data between one or more User Equipment (UE) connected to a small cell and a data network. The C-SON further receives subscriber data for at least one User Equipment (UE) and location data for the at least one UE from at least one Network Function (NF), and maps the at least one UE to a backhaul service flow and the small cell based on the subscriber data and the location data. The C-SON automation platform determines the backhaul utilization performance indicator exceeds a backhaul threshold limit for the backhaul service flow, and adjusts a bandwidth utilization of the backhaul infrastructure based on the backhaul utilization parameter exceeding the backhaul threshold limit.

A method of operating a satellite communication network is disclosed. The network includes a plurality of satellites interconnected by a plurality of satellite-to-satellite communication links. Each of the plurality of satellites is configured to communicate with at least one ground station using respective ground-satellite communication links. The method includes transmitting a routing table to each of the satellites. Each routing table has a list of destination satellites, and defines at least two possible routes leading to it. An alert message identifying a problem communication link is transmitted to a subset of the plurality of satellites. In response to receiving the alert message, subsequent data packets are routed through the communication network by the satellites using their respective routing table to avoid the problem communication link.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for coordinated access to a satellite link through data profiles are disclosed.
