Provided are a data transmission method and apparatus, a data sending method and apparatus, and a data transmission system. The data transmission method includes: receiving, by a second network node, data which carries a protocol data unit (PDU) and is sent by a first network node, where the PDU at least includes quality of service (QOS) information bearing the data, and the QOS information includes at least one of: a QOS flow identifier (QFI) indication of the data, or a fifth-generation QOS identifier (5QI) corresponding to the data.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for message routing optimization. The message routing optimization system receives requests to transmit messages to recipient devices. The message routing optimization system determines whether to allocate the messages to an optimal routing provider or a secondary routing provider. The message routing optimization ranks the set of routing providers based on a conversion rate index and determines the optimal routing and secondary routing providers based on the ranking. The message routing optimization system allocates messages to the selected routing providers to be delivered to their intended recipients.

In general, techniques are described for slice assurance within a mobile network. In some examples, a method includes obtaining, by a slice assurance function (SAF) executed by a device, key performance indicator (KPI) values for a first slice of a plurality of slices implemented by a plurality of base stations serving a tracking area of a mobile network; determining, by the SAF, based in part on the KPI values for the first slice, a service level agreement (SLA) for the first slice has not been met; re-allocating, by the SAF in response to the determining, slice resources associated with any of the plurality of slices to compute a new slice configuration parameter for the first slice; and reconfiguring, by the SAF, at least one of the plurality of base stations to implement the new slice configuration parameter for the first slice.

A system for troubleshooting network problems is disclosed. A model can use demographic information, network usage information, and network membership information to determine an importance of a problem. The importance of the problem for the user who reported the problem, a number of other users affected by the problem, and the importance of the problem to the other users can be used to determine a priority for resolving the problem. Before and after a work order is executed to resolve the problem, network metrics can be gathered, including aggregate network metrics, and automatically presented in various user interfaces. The analysis of the metrics can be used to update a database of which work orders are assigned in response to which problems.

A service manager for managing services made available to front end devices operably connected to backend devices via managed network devices includes a storage device for storing a services network use information repository that associates the services with network functions enabled by the managed network devices and a processor. The processor makes an identification of a front end device of the front end devices that will provide virtualized desktop infrastructure services, using at least one of the backend devices, to a user; in response to the identification: identifies a set of the services to be provided to the user; identifies: at least one of the managed network devices that provides network connectivity to the front end device, and network use information for the set of services using the services network use information repository; and configures the at least one managed network device based on the network use information.

Various arrangements for performing navigation based on characteristics of a cellular network are provided. A quality of experience (QoE) level required for a wireless service to be performed for a networked device may be determined. A current location and a destination for a vehicle may be determined. A wireless network slice coverage area map may be accessed that maps network performance characteristics for the cellular network across a geographic region. A navigation route from the current location to the destination based on the wireless network slice coverage area map and the determined QoE may be determined. The determined navigational route may be output to a navigation system.

A method and apparatus for managing network loading and adjusting admission, and/or congestion and service types based on real-time analytics in an enterprise wireless communication network that includes Base Stations/Access Points (BS/APs) in communication with a number of User Equipment devices (UEs) within the coverage area at a campus location. The system dynamically learns the parameterizations for the control system, and adapts the parameters as the network usage evolves, which is useful for an efficient self-managed network. Such a system can provide a greater QoS across users and other efficiencies. The system simplifies deployment at the enterprise's campus locations because load heatmaps and service patterns are learned based on the actual campus locations.
