APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY OF VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232564 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY OF VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by a network device in a communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves a network device in a communication system.
- The device identifies information related to a first virtual network function (VNF).
- It also identifies the first operation mode of the first VNF.
- The device determines the second operation mode of the first VNF based on the information related to the first VNF and a deep learning model.
- Additionally, it determines the third operation mode of the first VNF based on the second operation mode of the first VNF and the first operation mode of the first VNF.
- The first VNF is redundant with a second VNF.
- The third operation mode can be either an active mode or a standby mode.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various areas, including:
- Communication systems
- Network devices
- Virtual network functions
- Redundancy management
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following problems:
- Efficient management of virtual network functions

Original Abstract Submitted
A method performed by a network device in a communication system, includes: identifying information related to a first virtual network function (VNF); identifying a first operation mode of the first VNF; and determining a second operation mode of the first VNF, based on the information related to the first VNF and a deep learning model; and determining a third operation mode of the first VNF, based on the second operation mode of the first VNF and the first operation mode of the first VNF. The first VNF is redundant with a second VNF. The third operation mode is either an active mode or a standby mode.
