    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtualized wireless base station networking solutions are provided. In one embodiment, a controller for a telecommunications wireless base station comprises: one or more physical network interfaces; at least one processor programed to execute code on the controller: one or more virtualized entities for one or more virtual network functions of the base station, wherein a first virtual network function comprises a plurality of functional applications that each includes a respective network interface for connecting to a data network; a virtual network interface dedicated stack associated with each network interface, wherein a respective virtual network interface dedicated stack defines for each network interface a virtual media access control (VMAC) address, a virtual network interface (VF), a virtual local area network (VLAN), and a logical subnetwork internet protocol (IP) address. Each functional applications is bound to the physical network interfaces by their respective virtual network interface dedicated stack.

    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.
