The C-RAN also includes a central controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of RUs via a fronthaul comprising one or more ETHERNET switches. The central controller is communicatively coupled to an activation server via a backhaul network. The central controller also includes at least one processor configured to, following initial power up, establish a connection to the activation server indicated by activation server information pre-configured on the central controller. The at least one processor is also configured to receive a commissioning package, which includes commissioning information, from the activation server.

Abstract: A computing system having a vDAS compute node implementing at least one virtual network function (NF) in a virtualized distributed antenna system (vDAS) having a plurality of radio units (RUs). The computing system includes server and vDAS compute node. The vDAS compute node includes vDAS container(s) running on a first subset of cores. The server: receives periodic capacity usage reports from the vDAS compute node(s); compares scaling metric data derived from the periodic capacity usage reports to threshold limits to determine if any threshold limits have been reached by any scaling metric data for the vDAS compute node; when any threshold limits have been reached by any scaling metric data for at least one vDAS compute node: cause vDAS compute node to scale capacity by either instantiating or deleting additional vDAS container on second subset of cores of the at least one vDAS compute node.
