Abstract:
Management of a network may be accomplished by adjusting timer settings and/or retry criteria. For example, communications and management from an end-to-end perspective of entities in a network may be conducted; timers and/or retry criteria may be adjusted dynamically based on network traffic load; timers and/or retry criteria may be adjusted dynamically based on overload conditions; feedback mechanisms may be implemented to allow downstream network elements to inform upstream network elements about the health status and/or load condition of the network; and/or differentiated timer and retry criteria/mechanisms may be implemented.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing subscriber load distribution in networks are disclosed. For example, the method receives capacity data and user equipment (UE) resource consumption data from a plurality of devices that process call control signaling messages within the communication network. The method receives a first request from one of the plurality of devices to re-register one or more selected user equipment, and selects at least one available device from the plurality of devices. The method then re-registers the one or more selected user equipment on the at least one available device.
Abstract:
A system for designing and executing control loops in a cloud environment includes a control platform implemented in the cloud environment having a data collection, analytics and events module, a policy module and an application controller module. The system includes a business process management application coupled to the control platform having a control loop designer module for designing a control loop template and a workflow engine for distributing the control loop template. The business process management application is coupled to the data collection analytics and events module of the control platform as well as the policy module in the application controller module to control platform. The control loop is activated by the control platform.
Abstract:
A method may include a processing system assigning samples of network traffic data to positions in a list, where each of the samples is assigned a cluster identifier corresponding to the respective position, and traversing the list, where for each position, the processing system: increments an order indicator, and when the cluster identifier is not less than the order indicator, computes a distance between a sample assigned to the position and other samples, records a cluster identifier of another sample when a distance between the sample and the other sample is less than a threshold distance, and assigns a minimum cluster identifier that is recorded to all of the samples with cluster identifiers that are recorded. The processing system may determine clusters from cluster identifiers in the list after the traversing and identify at least one cluster as representing anomalous network traffic data.

Abstract:
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for clearing hang calls in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the method detects a failure of an adjacent call stateful network element in a signaling path, identifies one or more calls that are affected by the failure of the adjacent call stateful network element, tests a media path of the one or more calls for activity and clears the one or more calls that are affected by the failure of the adjacent call stateful network element if the media path of the one or more calls is inactive.
