Elements of a modern network environment contain a wealth of important information. Such information may include an advanced digital network architecture management platform’s awareness of the location and wireless coverage information for all of the access points (APs) in a physical space and a cloud-based location services platform’s awareness of the physical location of all of the wireless devices in that space. Techniques are presented herein that support the conveyance of such information to a virtual reality (VR) device for integration with the VR experience of the device user. Though such an integration a user may, for example, be prompted …
Spatial Audio For Gesture Feedback In Augmented Reality Glasses, Kathleen Bryan
Spatial Audio For Gesture Feedback In Augmented Reality Glasses, Kathleen Bryan
Defensive Publications Series
Spatial audio has been used in augmented reality (AR) applications, allowing developers to have a particular object emit a sound as a user gets closer to the object. Sound can also be attached to certain user inputs to provide feedback regarding different interactions. However, current AR applications do not utilize spatial sound to move the sound through space in order to provide a richer AR experience. This disclosure employs spatial audio to move sound through space to provide a richer AR experience. For example, spatial audio may be utilized to provide sounds in response to user input on the frame …

A Type-To-Talk Framework Using Generative Voice Cloning Methods For Privacy-Preserving Communications, Dongeek Shin
Defensive Publications Series
A method for providing a text-to-speech framework that generated speech that mimics a user’s voice is disclosed. The proposed method receives sample speech from the user, and generates speaker embeddings specific to the user. The speaker embeddings are generated using a neural network. The speaker embeddings are used to fine-tune a generative vocoder. The finetuned generative vocoder can be used to generate speech that mimics the speech patterns and vocal characteristics of the user. Thus, text entered by the user can be converted to audio that sounds like the user’s speech. The generated audio is then transmitted to other participants …

Log Exploration And Analytics Using Large Language Models, Hari Bhaskar S
Defensive Publications Series
Log data are typically stored in databases as schema-based entries in a structured format. Conventionally, log exploration requires an understanding of the fields, schema, and query parameters of the database. This disclosure describes techniques that use tabular large language models (LLMs) to process, mine, and make log data amenable to natural language queries. A relatively unsophisticated user with no database skills can query log files using natural language search. The LLMs can be fine-tuned using prompt engineering and causation information. The conventional, tedious mining of logs across multiple systems using database queries is replaced by a simple natural language interface …

Systems And Methods To Differentiate Access Ports And Uplinks In Telecommunication Networks Using Machine Learning, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
This invention is adapted to identify uplinks vs access ports automatically using supervised Machine learning (ML) techniques. Once uplinks vs access ports are identified, the present methods automatically suppress/reduce the noise/non-actionable/non-important alarms from the access ports. Network Operations Centers (NOCs) will be able to change the uplinks vs access ports predicated by ML, and based on feedback from NOCs, required action will be taken against the access port alarms. This makes noise reduction and network operations faster and easier for the operators of enterprise networks.

Defensive Publications Series
Within a contact center, many caller and virtual agent (VA) interactions eventually reach a human agent (HA) for the proper resolution of a caller’s issues. This may happen despite the presence of a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-powered VA component (that can, for example, search an organization’s knowledge bases (KBs) for the most relevant answers corresponding to a caller’s queries) through, for example, outdated KBs. As a result, a caller’s experience is negatively impacted.

Cfm Fault Notification Enhancements, Anonymous
Cfm Fault Notification Enhancements, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) which is the protocol used in Ethernet Networks for detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures. The CFM protocol uses Continuity Check Messages (CCMs) to detect and report faults in a service. A CFM service may be created between 2 endpoints (called MEPs) or it can also be created between multiple endpoints. In case of a multipoint-to-multipoint service, the CCMs are exchanged between multiple MEPs (present on different devices). The fault notification reporting mechanism defined in the IEEE 802.1Q-2018 standard, defines faults based on the local endpoint. This is not an optimized method of …

Multi-Layer System Capable Of Considering Constraints And Objectives From Both Ip And Optical Layers, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
With networking trends driving traffic increasingly towards the edge of the network, IP-Optical convergence has come to the forefront of architecture evolution discussions. IP-optical convergence offers a means to streamline and simplify network operations and lower network costs. While network convergence has attracted a lot of industry interests in the areas of management and control and hardware integration, there has not been much focus on the amalgamation of the optical and IP layer design processes. At present, the IP and optical layers are planned by separate network teams with little or no co-ordination. The designs of each layer are made …
Dynamic Link Holdoff Adjustment Methods In Multi-Layer Control Plane Networks Via Nms/Sdn Controller, Anonymous
Dynamic Link Holdoff Adjustment Methods In Multi-Layer Control Plane Networks Via Nms/Sdn Controller, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
The present invention proposes to dynamically propagate and adjust control planes (such as ASON, GMPLS, PNNI, etc.) via SDN Controller/NMS based on Lower Layer Circuit Protection status. An SDN Controller sends a pre-defined nonzero value to L1CP links whenever an L0 circuits protection health status is good. The SDN Controller sends “Zero” hold off to L1CP links whenever the L0 Circuits dont have protections available, so that L1 CP can heal the circuit immediately on network faults when L0 layers cannot heal it.

Techniques described herein provide for automating a time-sensitive network (TSN) configuration using an edge inventory system. In particular, according to techniques described herein, an asset inventory system discovers a TSN-capable device, identifies the requirements of the TSN-capable device, and adds a TSN tag to the asset inventory system that describes the function of the device. The asset inventory system provides instructions to on-board the device to a network as TSN-mandatory and sets the latency bounds for the network based on known or discovered characteristics of the device.

On Device Security Agent To Mitigate Inference Attacks On Machine Learning Models, Hari Bhaskar S
Defensive Publications Series
The advent of on-device machine learning allows developers to deploy models on end-user devices. A trained machine learning model can be a representation of the dataset used to train the model and may carry knowledge of decision making based on training. Malicious actors can perform inference attacks to exploit open-ended, unprotected on-device machine learning models, e.g., by taking the device offline to block information from being sent to the cloud and sending several inference requests to extract the patterns of data and/or training of the machine-learning model. This disclosure describes an on-device security agent that monitors the patterns of inference …

Existing computer monitors do not provide sufficient thermo-mechanical and geometric stability required for hyper-realistic telepresence. This disclosure describes techniques to achieve nearly zero deformation through the thermal cycle of a display by adding reinforcements to the interior of the display backplate. The reinforcements are made of a material such as carbon fiber that has a coefficient of thermal expansion much lower than that of the metal backplate. To reduce stored elastic energy induced by thermal stress, reinforcements are attached to the display backplate at their ends. The reinforcements span areas of symmetric distortion on the display, such that sections of …
