Filtering Model Driven Telemetry Data Of Network Devices To Optimize Full Stack Observability, Sudha Sankar, Debashree Jena Barat, Shivani Palaniappan, Pranothi N, Dmitry Goloubew

Defensive Publications Series

Full Stack Observability brings together data from multiple operational domains to provide unified visibility, derive real-time insights and recommend actions to improve application performance, application security and resource optimization. The volume and scale of telemetry data from various domains is extremely large. This can eventually strain the platform and result in processing delays. A filtering mechanism at the data source, such as at the network devices, can help propagate only the crucial model driven telemetry data to the platform. This solution would help address the issue of telemetry data volume by efficiently reducing it at the source.

Intelligent Provisioning Of Digital Experience Monitoring Agents Based On Observed Network Service Flows, Jay Kuhne, Peter Clayton-Luce, Steve Holl

Defensive Publications Series

Current network observability discovery and design of network monitoring tools for a network operator is often dependent upon the analysis of a network configuration and anecdotal input from the operator indicating their perceived service-level assurance needs. Specifically, the placement of monitoring agents within a network for such designs is fairly subjective and may not be reflective of the actual usage patterns and utilization of the network for traffic initiated by end-users or applications. This proposal leverages actual network behavior in order to generate recommendations for agent placement, as well as to optimize agent placement and, optionally, to auto-deploy an agent …

Optimizing Llm-Based Queries And Responses Using Secure, Portable, And Personalized Encoded User Profile, Cameron Lui, Aizhan Ibraimova, David C. White, Rajeshri Prashant Survase, Bachir Chihani, Tiffany K. Pham

Defensive Publications Series

Current large language model (LLM)-based platforms offer interactive user experiences with limited personalization. Although these LLM-based platforms can leverage publicly available and trained data to provide contextual responses to user queries, they cannot securely leverage private data about the user to personalize the experience. As a result, current systems lack the ability to provide context-sensitive and personalized content that meets specific user requirements or preferences. Moreover, robust privacy safeguards are needed to properly leverage and optimize a user’s private data for content delivery. To address these issues, proposed herein are techniques for providing an application programming interface (API) service that …

Method To Allow Scalability In Contention-Based Ranging, Qorvo, Inc.

Defensive Publications Series

This solution allows the feature “contention-based ranging” to be scalable (i.e., to work properly regardless of the density of users), based on 3 complementary improvements:

1) By allowing only a subset of Responders to participate to a given ranging round, the Controller does not need to increase the number of slots in the CAP, as the density of users increases. This enables to maintain the same level of distance measurement accuracy, while limiting the risk of collisions.

2) The Controller may conversely increase the size of the CAP as much as desired, unlike in current FiRa specifications.

3) The Controller …
