Advanced LLM-Enhanced Intent-Based 5G Network Management using Dynamic Semantic Routes

As the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) is becoming common in everyday applications, their ability to interpret natural language has increased significantly. An emerging application of AI is integration with network management and orchestration practices. An instance of this integration is LLM-enhanced intent-based networking, where network operators will control a network using natural language. This work presents the use of dynamic routes with a semantic router to identify an intent from a network operator's prompt and extract necessary details for intent fulfillment in intent-based 5G+ core networks. Furthermore, the performance of static route selection is assessed by evaluating multiple encoders and dynamic route detail extraction accuracy against a series of realistic operator prompts. The presented results show that static and dynamic routes are successful in detail extraction and schema formatting.

Lightweight Multi-scale Hierarchical Anomaly Detection and Localization for Geospatial Big Data Applications at the Edge

As an increasing number of critical applications, including environmental, emergency, meteorological, and agricultural, rely on real-time anomaly detection in geospatial data streams, challenges related to the storage, processing, and communication of this data arise. Traditionally, large volumes of data have been sent to centralized processing locations for insight extraction. Given the big data context of these applications, this approach becomes increasingly infeasible as data volume and velocity continue to increase. This paper proposes a lightweight edge-oriented approach for anomaly detection and localization for geospatial data streams. By leveraging the H3 discrete global grid system and a multi-scale drill-down logic, the proposed approach significantly reduces computational overhead, achieving a 99.7\% reduction in evaluations compared to traditional flat-scan methods. Furthermore, by filtering out noise-induced flickering anomalies at lower resolutions, spatially-persistent anomalous signals can be efficiently identified. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively distills massive geospatial data into actionable insights.
