Abstract: Various arrangements of hybrid cloud cellular network systems are presented herein. A cellular radio access network (RAN) that includes multiple base stations (BSs) can be in communication with a cloud computing platform. Multiple cloud-implemented national data centers (NDCs) can be present and executed on the public cloud computing platform. Network functions (NFs) are executed within each cloud-implemented NDC on the public cloud computing platform. The system further includes a cellular network database function. An instance of the cellular network database function is executed within each cloud-implemented NDC on the public cloud computing platform and updates each other instance of the cellular network database function.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for a fifth generation (5G) cloud-native wireless telecommunication network operated by a mobile network operator (MNO) implemented on a public cloud of a cloud computing service provider. Such a method may include the MNO operating telecommunication network functions (NFs) of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running within the public cloud. An indication may be received that one or more of the NFs of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running within the public cloud has a requirement to connect to another communication service provider (CSP) network different than the 5G cloud-native wireless telecommunication network operated by the MNO. Based on the indication, the system causes an autonomous system number (ASN) of the MNO to be used for network traffic from the one or more NFs to the other CSP network instead of an ASN of the cloud computing service providers.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards overcoming limitations of a virtual private cloud (VPC) implemented on a public cloud in a cloud-native 5G wireless telecommunication network by overlaying a network of virtual routers (vRouters) across a software defined data center (SDDC) and virtual private cloud (VPC) in such a manner that enables telecommunication network traffic to communicate between one or more telecommunication NFs of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running on a cloud-native platform of the public cloud (e.g., may be workloads that exist in native AWS) and one or more other telecommunication network functions (NFs) of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running in the in the SDDC using the connected VPC (e.g., such as when using VMWare Cloud to implement the SDDC). The connected VPC is a private cloud existing within the public cloud 202 and the overlay network implemented by such vRouters operationally connects the VPC to the host public cloud and other public clouds.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for bridging data traffic between an underlay network and an overlay network within a wireless telecommunication network. One such method including: providing access to an overlay network that includes virtual routers, wherein the overlay network is built above the underlay network, the underlay network including physical infrastructure that delivers packets; providing a UPFv that acts as an anchor for telephony voice functions; establishing routing protocols to transmit from the UPFv to one or more of the virtual routers; configuring one or more of the virtual routers to bridge an outgoing communication from the UPFv to a public cloud provider; instructing the virtual router to send the outgoing communication through the public cloud provider to the underlay network; and instructing the virtual router to receive an incoming communication from the underlay network through the public cloud provider to the UPFv.

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 by intelligently deploying radio access network components and redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements for one or more network slices are described. The radio access network components may include virtualized distributed units (VDUs) and virtualized centralized units (VCUs). To satisfy a latency requirement for a network slice, various components of a radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to user equipment. To satisfy a power requirement for the network slice, various components of the radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to core network components. Over time, the components of the radio access network may be dynamically reassigned to different layers within a data center hierarchy in order to satisfy changing latency requirements and power requirements for the network slice.

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.
