    Abstract: A system includes domains comprising systems generating data from the cellular network system. The domains may include cellular towers; a core network located on a public network and comprising a central unit (CU); and a series of clusters that each comprise a distributed unit (DU) that communicates with the CU and the cellular towers. The system may further include a single collection module that collects data from all domains relating to the cellular network system and stores the collected data on a public network, and a data output module to output the data of the cellular network to a business domain on the public network.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling alerts collection and response from a 5G network telecommunication network. One such method includes: inventorying 5G cloud-based network applications and components to be monitored, establishing rules that send alerts when the 5G cloud-based network applications or components deviate from a baseline range or threshold, collecting alerts from the 5G cloud-based network applications and components, determining one or more issues to be mitigated in the 5G cloud-based network applications and components from the alerts collection, and initiating one or more response actions to mitigate the one or more issues determined by the alerts collection in the 5G cloud-based network applications and components.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for connecting a plurality of router devices and a plurality of network functions of a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network radio access network (RAN), the plurality of network functions provided in a cloud service provider environment. One such method includes: configuring operation of Boarder Gateway Protocol (BGP) on the first virtual router device; configuring operation of BGP on a second virtual router device; configuring a first virtual private cloud (VPC) in the cloud service provider environment, the first VPC performing a first one of the network functions; and routing a first network packet to the first VPC using the first virtual router device and the second virtual router device.

    Abstract: A system includes domains comprising systems generating data from a cellular network employing clusters created using a containerized application, and an observability (OBF) layer configured to collect the data over all of the domains and store the data at a common source. The system also includes a streaming platform data store configured for ingesting and processing streaming data in real-time and distributing the data to applications requesting such data. The streaming platform extends completely over the OBF layer so that all data collected by the OBF layer is available to the streaming platform data store. The system also includes a processor configured to collect data at the common source and manage the domains directly using the data collected at the common source.

    Abstract: IP prefix lists are used as a source for filtering with near real-time updates to prefix lists associated with particular network functions. Network functions are deployed with one or more prefix lists based on communication need, a messaging queue for receiving work to updates for the prefix list, a maintenance worker, and a notification service. When a network function expands or contracts and has a change in IP scope, the listening network functions are alerted. When the event is detected, a message is transmitted by the network function's notification service. Listener queues subscribed to the upstream network function receive the change notification and invoke the maintenance worker to update the prefix list based on the message. The invoked process digests the message and adjusts the prefix list for the listening load balancer accordingly, resulting in adding or removing permitted traffic flow.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling a telecommunication service provider to control an underlay network in cloud service provider environment. One such method includes: dictating control of the underlay network to a telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; enabling control of a number of virtual routers to be deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; and managing route tables for the virtual routers deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment. In some embodiments, the Virtual Private Cloud design is configured to be similar to a design of the on-prem architecture of the telecommunication service provider.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services using virtualized network functions are described. The virtualized network functions may be deployed across different data centers of a data center hierarchy that electrically connect one or more user devices with one or more data networks. A set of virtualized network functions may be assigned to computing resources within a particular data center based on latency requirements, power requirements, and/or quality of service requirements for one or more network slices supported by the set of virtualized network functions. The set of virtualized networks functions may include a set of shared core network functions that are shared by two or more network slices.

    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for model-based inventory of wireless telecommunication networks. In response to receiving information regarding network components or connectivity as system components are implemented (e.g., installed and/or activated), the system may electronically compare the received information to a model previously built according to the current standards of the telecommunication service provider, such as a mobile network operator (MNO) for the wireless telecommunication network, and then electronically determine whether there exists a discrepancy between the received information regarding network components or connectivity and the model based on the comparison. An action may then be performed based on the determination of whether there exists a discrepancy, such as sending an alert or taking other corrective action.
