Abstract: A cellular network having radio access network (RAN) nodes where each RAN node includes (i) a central unit (CU) that resides on a public cloud of the cellular network, (ii) a distributed unit (DU) that resides on a private cloud of the cellular network such that the DU is in communication with the CU on the public cloud of the cellular network, and (iii) a radio unit (RU) under control of the DU. The cellular network also has network repository functions (NRFs) that are distributed on the cellular network and reside on at least the public cloud of the cellular network where the NRFs control operation of cell sites and local data centers (LDCs) on the cellular network. The network also has processors configured to control data collection edge applications residing with the NRFs that are distributed on the cellular network.
