Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for secure virtualized wireless base station orchestration comprises: obtaining a node certificate and private key from a global CA defining a PKI signing certificate/private key; obtaining a sub CA certificate/private key from either an edge cloud node cluster or the global CA, using a PKI request signed using the PKI signing certificate/private key; establishing an orchestration access IPsec tunnel to a cloud comprising edge cloud orchestration functions; utilizing the orchestration functions to deploy on the node virtualized entities comprising VNFs of a wireless base station; obtaining at least one VNF certificate and private key for the VNFs from the global CA using a PKI request signed using the global certificate/private key; utilizing the VNF certificate/private key, establishing IPsec tunnels between the VNFs and a wireless network services operator network and/or to an OAM secure gateway for a DMS.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to automatically configuring a front-haul switched Ethernet network for a C-RAN. The topology of the front-haul switched Ethernet network is automatically discovered. One or more switches in the front-haul switched Ethernet network are automatically configured. The configuration of the one or more switches in the front-haul switched Ethernet network is automatically verified. The discovered topology can be automatically verified. Also, the discovered topology or the configuration of the front-haul switched Ethernet network can be automatically validated to check if it corresponds to a network design for the front-haul switched Ethernet network.
