Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to validating the integration of new carrier components at base station equipment, e.g., in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, confirming based on installation data, an installation milestone of an installation of a carrier component at base station equipment, resulting in a confirmed milestone. The method can further include, based on the confirmed milestone, identifying for an evaluation of the installation of the carrier component, a criterion associated with a characteristic of operation of the base station equipment. Further, the method can include based on a result of evaluation of the installation, sending, by the network equipment, a validation signal to the base station equipment indicating that the installation of the carrier component is validated.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting an interruption of a supply of operating power to a cell site of a cellular communication network, estimating an estimated time to restoration (ETR) of the supply of operating power to the cell site, wherein the estimating is based on information of an operator of the cellular communication network, determining, based in part on the ETR, to dispatch a portable generator to the cell site to provide a new supply of operating power to the cell site, and initiating a communication to dispatch the portable generator. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes selecting a study group including a first network element and a second network element of a network, selecting a control group including a third network element, identifying times at which a change is deployed at the first network element and the second network element, time-aligning the change at the first element and the change at the second network element to a common time, performing a statistical analysis that compares the performance of the network before the common time to the performance of the network after the common time, detecting an impact of the change on a performance of the network based on the statistical analysis, and initiating a remedial action when the impact comprises a degradation to the performance.

Abstract: A method includes collecting operational data from a system, segregating the data into a first component comprising one or more service quality anomalies and a second component comprising one or more network-based events, correlating the first component and the second component to determine whether the one or more network-based events have an impact on service quality, and prioritizing a resolution of the network-based events that have an impact on service quality.

Abstract: A method of migrating traffic in a network includes receiving, via an API, a request to migrate traffic. The request identifies a target around which the traffic is to be migrated and a peer to which the traffic is to be migrated. The method also includes discovering at least one anchor point based on at least a topology of the network, the target, and the peer. The method includes, based on an identity of the at least one anchor point and the target, identifying a migration mechanism. The method also includes requesting, in accordance with the migration mechanism, that the at least one anchor point facilitate migration of the traffic. The method includes responding, through the API, to the request indicating whether the migration was successful.
