Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing optimization of network resources. The system is operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment, analyze the electromagnetic environment, and extract environmental awareness of the electromagnetic environment. The system extracts the environmental awareness of the electromagnetic environment by including customer goals. The system is operable to use the environmental awareness with the customer goals and/or user defined policies and rules to extract actionable information to help the customer optimize the network resources.

Claims (43)

1. A system for dynamic spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment and to send measured data from the electromagnetic environment to at least one data analysis engine;

a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice or a subnetwork, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with an open radio access network (ORAN);

a machine learning (ML) engine; and

a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer;

wherein the at least one data analysis engine operable to analyze the measured data to create analyzed data;

wherein the ML engine is operable to use the analyzed data to make predictions about the electromagnetic environment and/or identify physical layer resources required for at least one application;

wherein the at least one data analysis engine is in communication with the wireless network resource optimization application;

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to use the analyzed data and the predictions about the electromagnetic environment to create actionable data for optimizing ORAN resources; and

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to optimize the ORAN resources based on a customer goals index vector; and

wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ORAN resources are optimized by changing at least one parameter of one or more user equipment (UE).

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one monitoring sensor includes at least one antenna, at least one antenna array, at least one radio server, and/or at least one software defined radio.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to optimize the ORAN resources based on at least one policy.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application generates at least one ORAN command to change at least one ORAN parameter.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the physical layer resources include an antenna, resource blocks, modulation parameters, bandwidth, spectrum sharing, and/or spectrum aggregation.

7. A system for dynamic spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment and to create measured data;

at least one data analysis engine operable to analyze the measured data to create analyzed data;

a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice or a subnetwork, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with an open radio access network (ORAN) a machine learning (ML) engine; and

a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer, wherein the wireless network resource optimization application includes a programmable rules and policy editor;

wherein the programmable rules and policy editor includes at least one rule and/or at least one policy;

wherein the ML engine is operable to use the analyzed data to make predictions about the electromagnetic environment and/or identify physical layer resources required for at least one application;

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to use the analyzed data and the predictions about the electromagnetic environment to create actionable data for optimizing ORAN resources; and

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to optimize ORAN resources of the wireless network based on a customer goals index vector; and

wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one monitoring sensor is located within an area of coverage of at least one radio unit (RU).

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the ORAN resources are optimized by reconfiguring at least one parameter of the ORAN and/or the MEC associated with the network slice or the subnetwork.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the ORAN resources are optimized by changing at least one parameter of one or more user equipment (UE).

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one monitoring sensor includes at least one antenna, at least one antenna array, at least one radio server, and/or at least one software defined radio.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein one or more of the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy is defined by requirements of at least one customer and/or at least one government entity.

13. A method for dynamic spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

providing a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice or a subnetwork and a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with an open radio access network (ORAN);

monitoring the electromagnetic environment using at least one monitoring sensor to create measured data;

analyzing the measured data to create analyzed data;

a machine learning (ML) engine using the analyzed data to make predictions about the electromagnetic environment and/or identify physical layer resources required for at least one application;

the wireless network resource optimization application using analyzed data and the predictions about the electromagnetic environment from the at least one to create actionable data; and

the wireless network resource optimization application optimizing ORAN resources using the actionable data based on a customer goals index vector; and

wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one monitoring sensor is located with at least one radio unit (RU) in the ORAN.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the ORAN resources are optimized by reconfiguring at least one parameter of the ORAN and/or the MEC associated with the network slice or the subnetwork.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the ORAN resources are optimized by changing at least one parameter of one or more user equipment (UE).

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the physical layer resources include an antenna, resource blocks, modulation parameters, bandwidth, spectrum sharing, and/or spectrum aggregation.
