Abstract: This disclosure is directed to system to monitor and control data flow in a network. At least one device in a core network may be responsible for charging functions related to the data requests. During certain high usage scenarios (e.g., emergencies, special events, etc.), it may be possible for the charging system to be overwhelmed. For example, a policing system may be implemented in the core network to at least manage the flow of requests to the charging system. The policing system may monitor and control request flow to the charging system based on at least one policy. When a request is determined to violate a policy, the policing system may take corrective action to prevent the charging system from being overwhelmed. For example, the policing system may block the request, divert the request to another charging system that may have available capacity, etc.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and machine-readable storage media of an edge computing device using an edge server CPU with dynamic deterministic scaling is disclosed. A processing circuitry arrangement includes processing circuitry with processor cores operating at a center base frequency and memory. The memory includes instructions configuring the processing circuitry to configure a first set of the processor cores of the CPU to switch the operating at the center base frequency to operating at a first modified base frequency, and a second set of the processor cores to switch the operating at the center base frequency to operating at a second modified base frequency. A same processor core within the first set or the second set can be configured to switch operating between the first modified base frequency or the second modified base frequency.

Abstract: Aspects of data re-direction are described, which can include software-defined networking (SDN) data re-direction operations. Some aspects include data re-direction operations performed by one or more virtualized network functions. In some aspects, a network router decodes an indication of a handover of a user equipment (UE) from a first end point (EP) to a second EP, based on the indication, the router can update a relocation table including the UE identifier, an identifier of the first EP, and an identifier of the second EP. The router can receive a data packet for the UE, configured for transmission to the first EP, and modify the data packet, based on the relocation table, for rerouting to the second EP. In some aspects, the router can decode handover prediction information, including an indication of a predicted future geographic location of the UE, and update the relocation table based on the handover prediction information.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a processor configured to select an offload processing task for performance by an edge computing device; cause a baseband modem to establish a direct wireless connection between the wireless communication device and the edge computing device; cause the baseband modem to send first data to the edge computing device via the direct wireless connection; and receive second data from the edge computing device, wherein the second data comprise a result of the offload processing task performed on the first data. The edge computing device includes a processor configured to receive, from a user device, offloaded data to be processed according to an offload processing task; execute the offload processing task on the offloaded data; and cause the radio via the interface to wirelessly send a result of the executed offload processing task via a direct wireless connection with the user device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to power control mechanisms for workload processing systems, and in particular, multi-scale power control technologies that can be used to reduce the overhead of workload processing systems. The disclosed power control mechanisms operate on multiple timescales including a slow timescale and a fast timescale. Separate control loops (or governors) are used for the slow and fast timescales where each control loop includes its own trigger mechanisms and configurable operational policies. The operational policies for slow timescale control loop can be trained separately using various machine learning techniques while the operational policies for the fast timescale control loop can be simple and reactive heuristics.
