Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards data delivery automation of a cloud-managed wireless telecommunication network. A disaggregated data construct is provided in a cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network. MNO cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G cellular telecommunication network engines are electronically mapped to components or services of a disaggregated network orchestrator. In an example embodiment, providing the disaggregated data construct may include electronically generating a mapping, via an open application programming interface (API), between a mobile network operator (MNO) cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network service disaggregated slice design engine and a disaggregated intent engine of a disaggregated cellular telecommunication network orchestrator. The system operates the cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network using the disaggregated data construct.

Abstract: Various arrangements for performing testing using a cellular network are presented. A distributed unit (DU) can be activated to be used exclusively for an isolated test environment. A communication path can be established between the DU and a radio unit (RU) located at a location to where the isolated test environment is located. Communication between the DU and a centralized unit (CU) can be established such that the CU is used as part of the isolated test environment. A test slice can be defined on the cellular network that isolates all traffic on the DU and RU from a production slice. The CU can service both the test slice and the production slice.

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: 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: 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 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: Arrangements detailed herein are directed to modifying functionality of and service provided to user equipment (UE) of a cellular network via integration with an external management system. A core application programming interface (API) can allow the external management system, distinct from the cellular network, to modify one or more parameters maintained by the cellular network core.
