Abstract: An interference detection system in a network determines that an unknown radio frequency (RF) interference source that causes RF interference experienced by a first wireless station is a persistent RF interference source over a plurality of time intervals in a selected time period. A predicted interference source location is identified for each time interval in the selected time period. An aggregated predicted interference source location is calculated based on the identified one or more predicted interference source locations.

Abstract: An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source on at least one physical resource block (PRB) by determining that a key performance indicator (KPI) for the at least one PRB on the first wireless station has a value indicative of interference. The interference detection system identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference on the at least one PRB. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are determined based at least on geographic locations of the first wireless station and the one or more second wireless stations. Determining the plurality of estimated interference source locations further comprises generating a boundary based on the geographic locations of the first wireless station and the one or more second wireless stations and selecting a plurality of estimated interference source locations within the boundary.

Abstract: A device receives personality profiles sent from multiple network elements of a network and obtains configuration parameters for each of the multiple network elements from the personality profiles. The device receives first scores generated for the multiple network elements, where each of the first scores relates to assessing a usefulness status of a respective one of the multiple network elements. The device identifies a network element of the multiple network elements for modifying the identified network element's configuration based on the obtained configuration parameters and the received first scores.

A plurality of estimated interference source locations are determined based at least on geographic locations of the first wireless station and the one or more second wireless stations. The plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimate interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations and a geographical map is generated based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations, wherein the geographical map includes indicia indicative of the relative scores of the plurality of estimated interference source locations

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the analysis of antennas in a wireless network, and the ensuing detection of misaligned antennas. Images reflecting measures of interference associated with different antennas may be analyzed based on structural similarity index (“SSIM”) or other similarity analysis techniques, and antennas may be paired according to this analysis. The paired antennas may be compared to a known configuration. Mismatches may indicate misalignment or other malfunctions, based on which automated remedial measures (e.g., antenna realignment) may be performed.

Abstract: Systems described herein may allow for the intelligent configuration of containers onto virtualized resources. Different configurations may be generated based on the simulation of alternate placements of containers onto nodes, where the placement of a particular container onto a particular node may serve as a root for several branches which may themselves simulate the placement of additional containers on the node (in addition to the container(s) indicated in the root). Once a set of configurations are generated, a particular configuration may be selected according to determined selection parameters and/or intelligent selection techniques.

Abstract: A device may receive input data associated with a wireless network, and may extract data from the input data to generate extracted data. The device may create PRB images based on the extracted data, and may process the PRB images, with a first model, to associate labels with each of the PRB images. The device may process the labels and the PRB images, with a second model, to identify potential issues associated with the PRB images, and may process data identifying the potential issues associated with the PRB images, with a third model, to compress the data identifying the potential issues into an array. The device may process the array, with a fourth model, to determine probability scores associated with the potential issues, and may select a potential issue with a greatest probability score as a detected issue. The device may perform actions based on the detected issue.
