    Abstract: Various embodiments provide RU/DU/CU chaining in an O-RAN by ZTP operations automatically. The chaining creates a logical gNB for achieving flexibility in the O-RAN. In some embodiments, one or more RUs are chained to a DU in a cell site when the DU is initiated in the O-RAN. In those embodiments, a network management system is employed to store and manage O-RAN configurations to facilitate the RU/DU/CU chaining. In some embodiments, the cell site is customized during the chaining process.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, zero touch provisioning (ZTP) in a cloud based 5G system are provided. In some embodiments, the ZTP includes receiving a request to perform ZTP on the component in the 5G system; generating a ZTP request based on the request; obtaining a ZTP payload according to the ZTP request; determining one or more ZTP operations based on the ZTP payload; determining instances of the component in the 5G system for the ZTP operations; distributing the ZTP payload to the first and second instances of the component in the 5G system to carry out the ZTP operations; determining one or more results of the ZTP operations; generating feedback information based on the one or more results of the ZTP operations.

    Abstract: A data pipeline architecture provides for efficient and scalable data collection within a 5G, 6G or other radio access network (RAN)-based wireless network. The data pipeline includes a data collection engine that receives streaming data in real time, as well as query-based data. The data collection engine collects the data, amalgamates the streaming and the query-based data into a common format, and provides the amalgamated data for delivery to a data reporting engine. The data reporting engine provides dashboards, reports, alerts or other information about the collected data. The data reporting engine may also interface with a database system for longer-term storage of collected data, report generation and/or the like.

    Abstract: A process for monitoring a 5G data and telephone network can include starting a first instance and a second instance of a network function in a virtual private cloud (VPC). The first instance uses a first user account, and the second instance uses a second user account. A first log includes entries associated with the first instance in response to activities of the first user account. A second log includes entries associated with the second instance in response to activities of the second user account. The first log and second log go to a log destination of a centralized cloud account. A data stream comprising transformed data from the log destination goes into a bucket associated with the centralized cloud account. A query selects a data set from the bucket that includes attributes associated with network activities of the first and second user accounts.
