Behavior monitoring and compliance for multi-tenant resources

The behavior of multiple users with access to a multi-tenant resource can be monitored and compliance enforced by monitoring state information for each user. The state information can be captured across a level of a network environment, such that any activity across that layer can be monitored and the data aggregated to give a global view of user behavior. If user behavior is determined to fall outside an acceptable range of behavior, any of a number of remedial actions can be taken, which can include notifying the user, billing the user for the inappropriate behavior, or modifying that behavior outside of the control of the user.

QUALITY OF SERVICE IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM
20170251076 · 2017-08-31 ·

A method is provided that includes receiving a tenant identifier. The method also includes identifying a quality of service (QoS) policy associated with a tenant identified by the tenant identifier, by looking up the tenant identifier in a memory data structure. The QoS policy includes a threshold value of a performance parameter. The threshold value is a minimum or a maximum threshold value. The method also includes receiving a service request from the tenant. The method also includes determining an estimated value of the performance parameter in view of the request. The method also includes, responsive to successfully evaluating a validity condition with respect to the estimated value in view of the threshold value, forwarding the request to a servicing component for execution. The validity condition is provided by the estimated value not exceeding the maximum threshold value or the estimated value not falling below the minimum threshold value.

Data insight scoring for performance analytics

An enterprise management platform is configured to host a respective instance for multiple client networks. The enterprise management platform receives incoming data including one or more metrics being tracked in the incoming data by the enterprise management platform. For each metric of the one or more metrics, a determination is made that a statistic generator is to be processed for the corresponding metric, and responsive to determining that the statistic generator is to be processed, a statistic is generated using the statistic generator. For each statistic, a news score is generated, using a news evaluator, to convert the statistic generator to a news score. The news scores are then sorted and stored in a database disposed within the enterprise management platform.

COORDINATING INTER-REGION OPERATIONS IN PROVIDER NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS

Methods and apparatus for coordinating inter-region operations in provider networks. An inter-region coordinator (IRC) operates asynchronously to the control planes of regional networks to coordinate inter-region operations. The IRC in a region may include one or more IRC servers. To perform inter-region operations, the servers may implement a local-remote-local method in which a server invokes an API in the local region to get work, sends the work to a control plane of a remote region, receives a response from the remote region, and informs the control plane in the local region of the status of the work.

NETWORK SERVICE PROVISIONING TOOL AND METHOD

A network service provisioning system may generate a data structure for configuring hardware and implementing an information system based on user responses to dynamically branching prompts. The provisioning system may generate an initial process map for the information system based on the user's responses and a determined information processing task. As described further herein, the provisioning system may break the initial process map into one or more sub-processes and proceed to individually optimize the sub-processes utilizing parallel process on a plurality of worker nodes. The provisioning system may apply a master template based to the intermediate process map to generate one or more optimization recommendations for the intermediate process map. Once a final optimized process map is generated by the provisioning system, the provisioning system may provide the optimized process map to an automatic orchestrator system for configuring and implementing the information system represented by the optimized process map.

Methods and user equipment for exchanging service capabilities

A method performed by a first UE. The method includes: the first UE sending via a first signaling protocol to a network node a service capabilities request, the service capabilities request requesting service capability information for a second UE; the first UE receiving from the network node a response to the service capabilities request, the response rejecting the service capabilities request; and as a result of receiving the response rejecting the service capabilities request, the first UE sending to the second UE, via a second signaling protocol other than the first signaling protocol, a service capabilities exchange invitation requesting an exchange of service capabilities.

Service monitoring adaptation for maintenance downtime

An automatic service monitor in an information technology environment has its operation controlled by information that, in part, defines entities that perform services and defines key performance indicators (KPIs) that indicate measures of performance of the services. Additional information controls the operation of the service monitor with respect to identifying and adapting for KPIs based on the non-normal data caused by maintenance work or other causes. Such adaptation may include changes in how reported information appears to the user.

Method and apparatus for dynamically controlling customer traffic in a network under demand-based charging

A method and system for responding to demand-based charging in a communication network, such as a 5G wireless communication network. Service providers and/or infrastructure providers adjust network usage pricing dynamically based on demand. Customers such as Virtual Network operators respond to pricing adjustments by adjusting their network usage, service requirements, and/or by re-negotiating the pricing structure. Network usage can be adjusted by controlling network traffic generated in response to activity of end-user devices of the Virtual Network.

SDR-based massive MIMO with V-RAN cloud architecture and SDN-based network slicing
11457365 · 2022-09-27 · ·

A telecommunications network comprises at least one core network interface for providing interconnection to a core network. At least one base station interface provides communications to at least one user device. At least one server defines a configurable network interconnecting the at least one core network interface and the base station. The configurable network comprises a cloud based virtual radio access network (VRAN). The at least one server defines logically independent network slicing for the configurable network that selects a first network slice responsive to use of the configurable network by a first application and selects a second network slice responsive to use of the configurable network by a second application. The at least one server implements the VRAN in a first configuration responsive to use of the first application by the configurable network and a second configuration responsive to use of the second application by the configurable network. At least one transceiver associated with the at least one base station interface for provides massive MIMO communications between the at least one server and the at least one user device.
