Systems, methods, and non-computer-readable storage media for repairing a Network Element (NE) to transport data within a network. When a NE on the network encounters an error, such as a port not receiving data, that NE will issue an alarm. Unlike previous mechanisms for resolving the alarm, systems configured according to this disclosure provide for an automatic mechanism to repair the alarm. In some instances, this can mean automatically deploying resources to re-connect the NE according to a network plan. In other instances this can mean verifying the status of the NE matches a planned status (i.e., that the loss of signal, and the subsequent alarm, were planned for). If neither of these actions resolves the problems of the NE, the system can issue a notification for a network engineer to perform maintenance on the NE.

Methods and systems are provided for connecting an electronic device to a network. In some situations, the electronic device connects to a first network provider and pings a first server having a static internet protocol address and a second server having a dedicated uniform resource locator. If the electronic device receives a response from the first and second server, the electronic device maintains its connection to the first network provider. Otherwise, the electronic device connects to a second network provider and pings the first and second servers.

Aspects of the disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus includes a transceiver and a processing circuit. The transceiver is configured to transmit and receive wireless signals. The processing circuit is configured to detect an error of a previous scheduled transmission of data units from the apparatus to another apparatus. The other apparatus provides scheduled resources for transmission between the two apparatuses. Further, the processing circuit is configured to determine resources that are scheduled by the other apparatus for the apparatus to perform retransmission, and provide one or more of the data units in the previous scheduled transmission to the transceiver for retransmission using the scheduled resources.

Systems and methods are described herein for modifying cell definition tables with telecommunications networks. In response to a handover failure between cells of the network, the systems and methods determine changes have been made to a network, such as changes to various identification information for cells associated with a controlling (or serving) node of the network. For example, the systems and methods utilize ANR functions to detect the changes to the network.

This application provides a method and a system for processing an NF component exception. The method is applied to a network including user equipment, a first NF component, a second NF component, and an NF repository management function component, and includes: receiving, by the NF repository management function component, an NF discovery request message that includes an identifier of a set to which the second NF component belongs; determining, by the NF repository management function component based on the identifier of the set to which the second NF component belongs, that a third NF component having a same function as the second NF component exists in the network; and sending, by the NF repository management function component to the first NF component, a first message that includes an identifier of the third NF component.

Methods, systems and computer program products for resource demand prediction are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining historical data logs for activities performed in a distributed service network, the distributed service network comprising a plurality of locations. The method also includes identifying factors influencing resource demand for the distributed service network, determining one or more constraints for specifying activity sequence ordering for activities performed in the distributed service network and generating a statistical model of the distributed service network utilizing the historical data logs, the identified factors and the determined constraints. The method further includes utilizing the statistical model of the distributed service network to determine estimated resource demand for responding to one or more detected outages in the distributed service network, the estimated resource demand being used to allocate resources to the plurality of locations in the distributed service network to respond to the one or more detected outages.

Embodiments of the invention provide for Web site reachability management in content browsing. A method of the invention includes monitoring different requests for different resources at respectively different resource location addresses initiating from different content browsers of different end users. Different responses to ones of the different requests that include an error code indicating an inability to provide a requested one of the different resources are detected and ones of the resource location addresses associated with corresponding ones of the different responses that include the error code are stored in a list. Finally, the each of resource location addresses are polled to determine whether or not a corresponding one of the resources is able to be retrieved. In response to determining that a resource of a resource location address in the list has become retrievable, the address is removed from the list and an associated end user notified.

A system receives a request for a plurality of resources of a cloud computing system to deploy a service. The system selects a portion of the resources and determines whether the selected portion is at least partially available in one or more clusters in parallel. If available, the system reserves the available resources for a predetermined period of time. If unavailable in one of the clusters, the system releases the reserved resources after the predetermined period of time. While or after determining the availability, the system locates at least a portion of the remainder of the resources in the one or more clusters. The system allocates the reserved resources on one of the clusters and the located remainder of the resources to deploy the service and instantiates the service on the one of the clusters using the allocated resources.

A system and method is provided for stabilizing a BACnet MSTP network when failures occur. The system may include at least one processor in an MSTP device configured via executable instructions included in at least one memory to communicate data expecting reply (DER) messages for field devices (e.g., HVAC, lighting, shading) onto an MSTP network for receipt by at least one IP device on an Ethernet network connected to the MSTP network via a BACnet IP/MSTP router. The processor may be configured to determine when the at least one IP device sent a DER message has become a non-communicative device. Also the processor may be configured to send a Poll for Master (PFM) message to the determined non-communicative device. In addition, the processor may be configured to drop further DER messages to the determined non-communicative device responsive to an absence of receipt of a response to the PFM message.
