Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a requirement of a network-accessible service requested by a user, and determining a network policy according to the service. An infrastructure of a network domain is organized according to the requirement and the policy to provide the service. A distributed controller operating within the network domain configures time-insensitive and time sensitive network domain functions according to the network policy. The time-insensitive functions are obtained from the distributed controller and applied in a manner that selects an access domain type of a number of different types. The selection is made according to an application of the time-insensitive and time sensitive network domain functions. Network performance data is monitored, and the infrastructure is reconfigured responsive to the application the functions, to obtain a reconfigured network infrastructure based on the network performance data, to ensure compliance with the network policy. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Extended, open network architectures supporting delivery of network-accessible services

Techniques for Enhanced 911 (E911) location for dense cell network meshes are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a system comprising a processor via a communication network comprising first network cells listed in a neighboring cell list of a user equipment, coverage area information for the first network cells, wherein the coverage area information comprises respective reported positions of the first network cells and respective coverage radii of the first network cells; determining, by the system based on the coverage area information for the first network cells, a first area in which respective coverage areas of the first network cells overlap; and defining, by the system, an estimated position of the user equipment as a selected position within the first area.

Enhanced 911 location for dense cell network meshes

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by one or more interfaces, an optimization application, a request for an optimization, one or more policies required to implement the optimization, and data required to implement the optimization. The method also includes converting, by one or more processors and the optimization application, the one or more policies into optimization constraints and objective functions. The method further includes determining, by one or more processors and the optimization application, a solution to the optimization based on the optimization constraints, the objective functions, and the data.

Optimization application

Systems and methods provide capacity planning, management, and engineering automation in networks including virtualization.

Capacity planning, management, and engineering automation platform

Adaptation of a network is disclosed. A proposed adaptation, determined by a sub-network component of the network based on an intended effect to the sub-network, can be received by a network-level arbitration component. The network-level arbitration component can determine if the proposed adaptation satisfies a rule based on predicted results on the network from implementing the proposed adaptation. Where the rule is satisfied the adaptation can be implemented. A result of the implementation can be compared to the predicted results to determine if the network should be reverted to a pre-implementation state. In an aspect, the network-level arbitration component can be a core-network component. In an embodiment, the network-level arbitration component can be a virtualized component on a network provider server, a cloud server, etc.
