Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for dynamically generating intelligent alerts at a network edge based on coverage area characteristics. A central alert orchestrator within the network determines target edge locations and forwards alerts to regional alert systems at the target edge locations. The regional alert systems modify either content of the alert or the alert metadata or both based on characteristics of the alerts and the coverage area.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a central alert orchestrator of a wireless carrier, an alert from United States Emergency Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) generated by one or more alerting authorities comprising one or more of a national authority, local authority, state authority, territorial authority, and tribal authority at a network edge computing system serving wireless devices within a distribution area, the received alert from IPAWS including content and location metadata;
- processing, at the central alert orchestrator of the edge computing system, the received alert from IPAWS in order to transmit to a regional alert system of the edge computing system of the wireless carrier, the processing including evaluating the alert based on characteristics of the distribution area;
- determining, at the central alert orchestrator, a list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier;
- comparing geographical information related to the distribution area to the location metadata of the received alert to generate a modified alert with specific geographical content pertinent to the distribution area;
- modifying, at the regional alert system of the edge computing system, the content of the processed alert based on a location of at least one wireless device within the list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system to create the modified alert with local content;
- and
- distributing the modified alert to the at least one wireless device within the list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier.

A system comprising:
- a central alert orchestrator of a wireless carrier;
- and
- multiple geographically distributed edge computing systems of the wireless carrier serving wireless devices within a distribution area, each edge computing system comprising at least one processor configured to:
- receive alerts from United States Emergency Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) at the central alert orchestrator, the alerts including content and location metadata generated by one or more alerting authorities comprising one or more of a national authority, local authority, state authority, territorial authority, and tribal authority;
- process, at the central alert orchestrator, the received alerts from IPAWS in order to transmit to a regional alert system of the wireless carrier of the edge computing system, the processing including evaluating the alerts based on characteristics of the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier;
- compare geographical information related to the distribution area to the location metadata of the received alert to generate modified alerts with specific geographical content pertinent to the distribution area;
- determine, at the central alert orchestrator, a list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier;
- modify, at the regional alert system, the content of the received alerts based on a location of at least one wireless device within the list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system to create the modified alerts with local content;
- and
- distribute the modified alerts to the at least one wireless device within the list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier.

An edge computing system comprising:
- at least one processor programmed to:
- receive alerts from United States Emergency Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) including content and location metadata generated by one or more alerting authorities comprising one or more of a national authority, local authority, state authority, territorial authority, and tribal authority;
- process, at a central alert orchestrator of a wireless carrier, the received alerts from IPAWS in order to transmit to a regional alert system of the edge computing system, the processing including evaluating the alert based on characteristics of a distribution area;
- compare geographical information related to the distribution area to the location metadata of the received alert to generate modified alerts with specific geographical content pertinent to the distribution area;
- modify, at the regional alert system, the content of the received alerts based on a location of at least one wireless device within the distribution area of the regional alert system to generate the modified alerts with local content;
- determine, at the central alert orchestrator, a list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier;
- and
- distribute the modified alerts to the at least one wireless device within the list of cells within the distribution area of the regional alert system of the wireless carrier.
