Hybrid fiber coaxial fed 5g small cell surveillance with hybrid fiber coaxial hosted mobile edge computing

A method, comprising:

• transmitting, by small cell equipment including a processor, to first network equipment, a performance indicator value determined by the small cell equipment, wherein the small cell equipment is part of a hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network and the first network equipment is situated within the hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network;
• transmitting, by the small cell equipment, to second network equipment, via the first network equipment, the performance indicator value, wherein the second network equipment is situated external to the hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network;
• receiving, by the small cell equipment, from the first network equipment, the second network equipment or both, an instruction to adjust an operating parameter associated with the small cell equipment, wherein the small cell equipment is configured to communicate with a group of small cell equipment according to a same cellular network communication protocol;
• and
• adjusting, by the small cell equipment, the operating parameter, wherein the operating parameter represents a controllable broadcast characteristic associated with the small cell equipment.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of small cell equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• transmitting, to first network equipment, a performance indicator value determined by the small cell equipment, wherein the small cell equipment is part of a hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network and the first network equipment is situated within the hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network;
• transmitting, to second network equipment, via the first network equipment, the performance indicator value, wherein the second network equipment is situated external to the hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure network;
• receiving, from the first network equipment, the second network equipment or both, an instruction to adjust an operating parameter associated with the small cell equipment, wherein the small cell equipment is configured to communicate with a group of small cell equipment according to a same cellular network communication protocol;
• and
• adjusting the operating parameter, wherein the operating parameter represents a controllable broadcast characteristic associated with the small cell equipment.
