A device may receive network data identifying uplink/downlink packet loss percentage, uplink/downlink jitter, uplink/downlink latency, and uplink/downlink packet throughput associated with a slice of a network, and may set an uplink value for each of the uplink packet loss percentage, the uplink jitter, the uplink latency, and the uplink packet throughput. The device may multiply the uplink values by corresponding uplink weights to calculate an uplink cost, and may set a downlink value for each of the downlink packet loss percentage, the downlink jitter, the downlink latency, and the downlink packet throughput. The device may multiply the downlink values by corresponding downlink weights to calculate a downlink cost, and may calculate a total cost based on the uplink cost and the downlink cost. The device may cause another slice, with the same attributes as the slice, to be instantiated when the total cost satisfies a threshold for a time period.

A device may receive a simulation start command and status data indicating that network elements are ready to process data for multiple simulations. The device may align a time slot to zero, and may define a simulation start time, for the multiple simulations, based on the simulation start command and the status data. The device may define a verification start time, for the multiple simulations, based on the simulation start command, the status data, the time slot, and a system frame number being zero, and may define a network frame number that increments when the verification start time changes from zero to one. The device may cause the multiple simulations to be executed by the network elements, based on the time slot, the system frame number, and the network frame number, and may receive synchronized simulation results based on causing the multiple simulations to be executed by the network elements.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for implementing a publish and subscribe communication system utilizing a load balancer and task schedulers are provided. Subscription requests are received from subscribers for subscribing to a topic published by a publisher. An external subscription list is maintained to track communication address information of the subscribers. A number of task schedulers are created based upon a count of subscribers within the external subscription list. The subscribers are assigned to the task schedulers such that a number of subscribers assigned to a task scheduler is limited according to a subscriber assignment limit. In response to the publisher creating data to publish to the topic, the task schedulers are controlled to use the communication address information to directly transfer data of the topic to the subscribers assigned to the task schedulers.

A system for simulating a wireless communication network over a wired network may comprise a plurality of physical UEs, one or more RANs, and a channel condition emulator. The plurality of UEs may be coupled to one another through the wired network. The one or more RANs may be simulated in software to simulate data transmissions between the plurality of UEs. The channel condition emulator may be simulated in software to derive channel conditions for each of the plurality of UEs based on their current location. The channel condition emulator may further provide the channel conditions to the plurality of UEs and the one or more RANs.

A device may receive basic safety message (BSM) data from vehicles, and may determine, based on a quantity of the vehicles and speed data identified in the BSM data, a primary geofence area that includes a first set of the vehicles. The device may determine a secondary geofence area based on the speed data and the quantity of the vehicles, wherein the secondary geofence area is greater in size than the primary geofence area. The device may determine a difference between the primary geofence area and the secondary geofence area to generate a difference geofence area that includes a second set of the vehicles that is different than the first set of the vehicles. The device may generate a multicast message based on the BSM data associated with the second set of the vehicles, and may broadcast the multicast message to the first set of the vehicles.

Systems and methods limit communication of redundant telematics data in V2X systems. A communications management device receives telematics data from multiple sources in a service area and calculates a trajectory each of the objects identified by the telematics data. The communications management device selects high vulnerability trajectories based on the calculated trajectories and identifies when the telematics data from different sources, of the multiple sources, corresponds to a same vehicle. When duplicate sources are determined to provide tracking data corresponding to the same vehicle, the communications management device reports (to a collision avoidance system) the tracking data from only the most accurate of the duplicate sources.
