AI/ML-ASSISTED ONE-CLICK MAINTENANCE FOR CLOUD-BASED MOBILE CORE NETWORK FUNCTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048449 titled 'AI/ML-ASSISTED ONE-CLICK MAINTENANCE FOR CLOUD-BASED MOBILE CORE NETWORK FUNCTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for managing network functions in a mobile communications system instantiated on a cloud network. The method involves identifying a set of network functions, determining functional dependencies among these functions, defining a sequence for making the functions unavailable prior to a maintenance event, and deactivating the functions according to the defined sequence.

  • Identifying a set of network functions operative on a core network of a mobile communications system instantiated on a cloud network.
  • Determining functional dependencies among the network functions in the identified set.
  • Defining a sequence for making the network functions unavailable prior to a maintenance event, based on the functional dependencies.
  • Deactivating the network functions in the identified set according to the defined sequence.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Efficient management of network functions in mobile communications systems.
  • Improved maintenance and upgrade processes for cloud-based networks.
  • Enhanced reliability and availability of network functions during maintenance events.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring that network functions are deactivated in the correct order to avoid disruptions during maintenance events.
  • Managing dependencies among network functions to prevent errors or conflicts during deactivation.
  • Streamlining the process of making network functions unavailable for maintenance purposes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Minimizes downtime and disruptions during maintenance events by deactivating network functions in a controlled and orderly manner.
  • Improves the overall reliability and availability of network functions in mobile communications systems.
  • Enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance and upgrade processes for cloud-based networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a set of network functions operative on a core network of a mobile communications system instantiated on a cloud network, identifying functional dependencies among respective network functions of the set of network functions, defining a sequence by which the set of network functions should be made unavailable prior to a maintenance event, wherein the defining the sequence is based on the functional dependencies, and deactivating respective network functions of the set of network functions according to the sequence. other embodiments are disclosed.
