To meet the stringent 5G radio access network (RAN) service requirements, layers one and two need to be processed in essentially real time. Thus, prompt anomaly detection is important to prevent negative impacts on customer experience, which is critical for mobile networks to meet the stringent service requirements. However, monitoring networks for anomalies is difficult due at least to (1) the resource constrained edge deployments in which the vRAN resides, (2) the variety of anomaly types and fault locations making anomalies difficult to detect, and (3) the low frequency of anomalies leading to unbalanced data sets for training, among others. The present application addresses these issues by decoupling anomaly detection at the infrastructure layer (servers, NICs, switches, etc.) from anomaly detection at the VNF layer (L1, high-DU, CU). This enables different techniques for identifying anomalies and for reducing the monitoring overhead that is tailored to each layer.

Described are examples for providing intent based network slice management using a management data analytics function (MDAF) to predict deficiencies. A network management system receives an intent for a network slice constituent. The network management system configures computing resources for the network slice constituent to satisfy the intent based on expected performance of the computing resources. The network management system receives feedback with respect to actual performance of the network slice constituent. The network management system determines, based on analysis of the feedback by a management data analytics function (MDAF), a predicted deficiency of the network slice constituent not being able to satisfy the intent. The network management system modifies the configuration of the computing resources based on the feedback and the predicted deficiency to satisfy the intent.

A device may receive network data identifying an SINR, an RSSI, congestion, and throughput associated with a RAN, device data identifying latency and packet loss associated with the RAN, and an issue inference confidence score associated with a machine learning model. The device may process the network data, the device data, and the issue inference confidence score, with a model, to determine one or more issues. The device may adjust TTI bundling to generate adjusted TTI bundling, may lower a QCI or a QFI and adjust associated parameters to generate QCI/QFI adjusted parameters, may adjust slice parameters to generate adjusted slice parameters, or may adjust DRX parameters to generate adjusted DRX parameters based on the one or more issues with the RAN. The device may cause the adjusted TTI bundling, the QCI/QFI adjusted parameters, the adjusted slice parameters, or the adjusted DRX parameters to be implemented by the RAN.

A method of controlling a data receiving rate by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining whether a buffer overflow occurred based on at least one of a remaining capacity of a buffer or a capacity of data stored in the buffer, based on determining that the buffer overflow occurred, performing data discard or a request to stop a data transmission, from a lower entity of the terminal, and requesting data form a base station, in response to the buffer overflow being resolved.

A cell site router communicatively coupled to an access node and configured to transmit data between the access node and an external network is further configured to determine a packet loss occurring at a port of the cell site router and adjust a size of a buffer of the cell site router based on the packet loss. The buffer can be associated with the port and/or a RAT associated with the port, and a latency requirement of the data transmission can be considered when adjusting buffer sizes.

The disclosed method may include (1) detecting, by a communication resource of a communication system, an event indicative of traffic congestion in the communication resource, where the communication resource services one or more traffic flows, and where at least one of the traffic flows causes the event, (2) sampling, by the communication resource, in relation to detecting the event, status data indicating a current status of the communication resource during each of a plurality of time intervals, (3) transmitting, by the communication resource, to a receiving device external to the communication resource to control the communication system, at least one of (a) at least a portion of the status data that is associated with the at least one of the traffic flows or (b) control information for the at least one of the traffic flows based on that status data. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for dynamically adjusting cell coverage sensitivity to address asymmetry of wireless cells that affect upstream and downstream traffic mismatch. In one aspect, a method includes estimating, at a network controller, one or more packet demodulation thresholds for an access point; sending, by the network controller, the one or more packet demodulation thresholds to the access point; receiving, from the access point, collected statistic, the collected statistics being link performance characteristics between the access point and one or more endpoints associated with the access point measured by one or more sensors associated with the access point; updating, at the network controller, the one or more packet demodulation thresholds based on the collected statistics to yield an updated packet demodulation threshold; and configuring, by the network controller, the access point with the updated demodulation threshold.

A WI-FI hotspot recommendation method includes scanning a WI-FI hotspot, determining an Internet-accessible hotspot in WI-FI hotspots that are obtained by means of scanning, determining network quality obtained when the terminal accesses a network by using the Internet-accessible hotspot, and displaying an identifier of the Internet-accessible hotspot and an identifier that indicates the network quality obtained when the terminal accesses the network by using the Internet-accessible hotspot.

Technology for transmitting physical broadcast channel (PBCH) contents is disclosed. An evolved node B (eNB) may configure one or more repetitions of PBCH content for transmission, to a user equipment (UE), from a cell at a selected time interval. The eNB may select a scrambling code for the one or more repetitions of PBCH content transmitted from the cell. The eNB may apply the scrambling code to one or more repetitions of PBCH content.
