Abstract: A communication system with enhanced user datagram protocol support for precision time protocol (PTP) is provided. The system includes a base station that is configured to provide communication services for user equipment (UE) located within a cell. The base station includes a network service orchestrator (NSO) that is configured to automatically deploy a PTP daemon that includes PTP service instructions. A PTP pod is in communication with the NSO to receive the PTP service instructions. At least one distributed unit (DU) pod is in communication with the PTP pod. The PTP pod is configured to provide timing configuration information to the at least one DU pod.

Abstract: Systems and methods for orchestrating a virtualized 5G gNB are provided. In one example, a system for orchestrating wireless service includes a scalable cloud environment configured to implement a base station using a plurality of virtualized base station entities. Each virtualized base station entity of the plurality of virtualized base station entities configured to implement at least some functions for one or more layers of a wireless interface used to communicate with UEs. The scalable cloud environment further configured to implement a service orchestration tool including one or more interfaces configured to receive common configuration parameters that are applicable to multiple sites of an operator and to receive site-specific configuration parameters that are unique to respective sites of the operator. The service orchestration tool configured to automatically generate deployment files for the plurality of virtualized base station entities based on the common configuration parameters and the site-specific configuration parameters.
