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 (36)

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

a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with a radio access network (RAN) and a core network;

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

a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer operable to analyze the measured data to create analyzed data;

wherein the analyzed data includes creating a vector ensemble class for at least one signal of interest;

the wireless network resource optimization application operable to create a customer goals index vector;

wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values; and

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to create actionable data for optimizing network resources based on the analyzed data and the customer goals index vector.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the actionable data for optimizing the network resources includes changing at least one physical layer parameter of one or more customer devices and/or applications.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor is included in a base station.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor is included in at least one spectrum monitoring unit, wherein the at least one spectrum monitoring unit includes at least one processor and a memory, at least one receiver, and the one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor.

5. 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.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to activate an alarm.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application creates the actionable data in real time or in near-real time and/or the at least one monitoring sensor monitors the electromagnetic environment in real time or near-real time and creates the measured data in real time or near-real time.

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

providing a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with a radio access network (RAN) and a core network;

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

providing a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer operable to analyze the measured data to create analyzed data;

wherein the analyzed data includes a vector ensemble class for at least one signal of interest;

creating, by the wireless network resource optimization application, a customer goals index vector, wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values; and

creating, by the wireless network resource optimization application, actionable data for optimizing network resources based on the analyzed data and the customer goals index vector.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the actionable data for optimizing the network resources includes changing at least one physical layer parameter of one or more customer devices and/or applications.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor is included in a base station.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor is included in at least one spectrum monitoring unit, wherein the at least one spectrum monitoring unit includes at least one processor and memory, at least one receiver, and the one or more of the at least one monitoring sensor.

12. The method of claim 8 , 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.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising creating a vector ensemble class for at least one signal of interest.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the actionable data for optimizing network resources is created in real time or in near-real time and/or the at least one monitoring sensor monitors the electromagnetic environment in real time or near-real time and creates the measured data in real time or near-real time.

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

a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice, wherein the MEC layer is in communication with a radio access network (RAN) and a core network;

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

a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer, wherein the wireless network resource optimization application includes at least one data analysis engine for analyzing the measured data to create analyzed data;

wherein the analyzed data includes creating a vector ensemble class for at least one signal of interest;

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to create a customer goals index vector; and

wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to use the customer goals index vector and the analyzed data to create actionable data for optimizing network resources.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to activate an alarm based on the customer goals index vector and the analyzed data.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the wireless network resource optimization application creates the actionable data in real time or in near-real time.
