FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of telecommunications on a 5G network, and more particularly to performing mitigation in response to detection of excessive contribution to a conference call.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Advancement in telecommunication technology has served as an enabler in many industries and other technological areas. Indeed, telecommunication advancement has transitioned stationary communications to a ubiquitous mobile experience and has provided near limitless data and information anytime and nearly anywhere. Fueling the progress in telecommunication advancement has been the progression of network capabilities from 3G to LTE, 4G, and now 5G network standards and technology. 5G technology promises to integrate into everyday life, provide faster and greater quantities of data exchange, and become an enabler of human-to-human, human-to-device, and device-to-device interactions.

In a 5G telecommunications network, services are provided from a medium access control (MAC) layer by logical channels to a control layer. The logical channels are virtualized communication network interfaces used to transfer commands and control instructions. Some logical channels are used as traffic channels of user data. 5G network slicing models are used to allow multiple channels over a single radio bearer network and may carry traffic from user equipment (UE) devices to the 5G network. In 5G networks, a dedicated logical channel is often used for conference calling with dedicated traffic channels created between participants of the conference call and the 5G network.

Conference calling has become a more common and cost-effective means of interaction and collaboration, and greater attention is given to making conference calls more results-oriented and effective.

SUMMARY

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system. The embodiments include a method for conference call management on a 5G network. The method provides for one or more processors to receive a first set of information associated with a topic, an agenda, and goals of a conference call and a second set of information associated with respective participants of the conference call. The one or more processors identify the respective participants of the conference call, based on a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH) associated with the respective participants of the conference call. The one or more processors determine an allocation policy including a threshold of a contribution to the conference call associated with the respective participants, based on the first set of information and the second set of information. The one or more processors collect the contribution of the respective participants during the conference call by collecting a data stream associated with respective DTCHs of the respective participants. The one or more processors calculate the contribution of the respective participants to the conference call, and responsive to determining a condition in which a first participant exceeds a contribution allocation threshold of the conference call, based on the contribution to the conference call associated with the respective participants exceeding the allocation policy threshold, the one or more processors perform an action mitigating the condition of the first participant exceeding the contribution allocation threshold of the conference call.
