摘要:
A virtual Radio Access Network, vRAN, system (100), comprising: a vRAN (110) including one or more virtual centralized units (145, 194), vCUs, one or more virtual distributed units (150, 196), vDUs, and one or more Element Management Systems (140, 198), EMSs; a virtual infrastructure manager (190), VIM, configured to instantiate vCUs or vDUs in the vRAN; and a network functions virtualization orchestrator (175), NFVO. A first EMS (198) is configured to: receive (246) a notification from a radio (125(3)) installed in the vRAN; and transmit (250), to the NFVO, an indication (250) to instantiate a vCU (194) and/or a vDU (196). The NFVO is configured to: responsive to the indication, cause (252, 254, 270, 272) the VIM to instantiate (256, 274) the vCU and/or the vDU for the radio. The first EMS is further configured to: provide (268, 282) configuration information to the vCU and/or, through the vCU, to the vDU.
摘要:
Embodiments herein use a real-time closed-loop system to optimize a wireless network. The system includes a drone controlled by a self-organizing network (SON) to retrieve RF data corresponding to the wireless network. In one embodiment, the SON provides the drone with a predetermined path through the coverage area of the wireless network. As the drone traverses the path, a RF scanner mounted on the drone collects RF data. The drone transmits this data to the SON which processes the RF data to identify problems in the wireless network (e.g., cell tower interference). The SON generates one or more actions for correcting the identified problem and transmits these actions to a wireless network controller. Once the wireless network controller performs the action, the SON instructs the drone to re-traverse the portion of the path to determine if the problem has been resolved.

In one embodiment, a mobile network includes at least one Information Centric Networking (ICN) enabled mobile base station configured to support ICN transport protocol, and at least one ICN enabled evolved packet core (EPC) device configured to support ICN transport protocol, where the ICN enabled EPC device is operative to assign an ICN based identity to a user equipment (UE) according to an attach request, wherein the attach request indicates that the UE supports the ICN transport protocol.
