    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate multi-environment cellular network slice testing. A cloud-based test environment may be created and may include multiple cellular network components executed on a cloud-based computing platform. One or more slice testing requests may be received from a service provider system. Responsive to the one or more slice testing requests, one or more network slices may be created, where the one or more network slices may correspond to one or more portions of a cellular network. Slice testing may be performed with the one or more network slices within the cloud-based test environment. Results of the slice testing using the one or more network slices may be obtained.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate multi-environment cellular network development and testing. A plurality of cloud-based environments that are configured according to an hierarchical order and that allow for development and/or testing of features and/or services with respect to a cellular network may be created. The plurality of cloud-based environments may be communicatively coupled to one or more software repositories via a first plurality of pipelines. The plurality of cloud-based environments may be communicatively coupled to one or more issue monitors via a second plurality of pipelines. The plurality of cloud-based environments may be exposed to service provider systems and allowing the service provider systems to develop and/or test features and/or services with respect to the cellular network within the plurality of cloud-based environments.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for allocating spectrum between a cellular network provider and a secondary operator are presented. A cellular network component of the secondary operator may determine that spectrum at a secondary operator radio unit (RU) is not currently needed. The cellular network component of the secondary operator may cause the spectrum to be released for use by a cellular network operator such that the secondary operator RU is not permitted to use the released spectrum. A cellular network operator RU may then communicate with a first set of user equipment (UE) using the released spectrum. The secondary operator RU and cellular network operator RU may be located at a same location.

    Abstract: A topology-reprogrammable test environment is provided that can support the needs of CI/CD/CV in the field. The system disclosed provides a highly scalable network architecture to simplify the implementation of network slicing, TaaS and network CI/CD, and solves problems related to the complexity of cloud-native network (CNN) deployments. A Network Cell (NC), comprises or consists of a Containerized Network Function (CNF), a Containerized Digital Twin (CDT), and a Containerized Test Agent (CTA). The CDT has at least two personalities, e.g., an emulator of the CNF in the same NC or a nodal of the CNF. The choice of personality of the CDT is controlled by the CTA of the NC. A number of NCs use a 3D IP address to interconnect and form a new kind of CNN over the infrastructure of VRs.
