Abstract: A method includes determining if a distributed unit (DU) can be deployed at a cluster created using a containerized application by determining if the DU exceeds a maximum capacity of DUs at the cluster, and in response to determining that the DU exceeds the maximum capacity of DUs at the cluster, creating a second cluster. Also, in another embodiment, in response to determining that the DU exceeds the maximum capacity of DUs at the first cluster, a portion of the DUs in the first cluster is moved to a second cluster. In yet another embodiment, in response to determining that the DU does not exceed the maximum distance from each of DUs in the first cluster, preventing deployment of the DU in the first cluster.

Abstract: A 5G cellular network system is disclosed that includes a plurality of servers, each of the plurality of servers comprising a processor, memory, an operating system; a distributed unit (DU) and a worker. The DU is installed in the memory and comprising computer instructions, that when executed by the processor, processes and controls communications with at least one tower to handle communications between cellular devices. The worker is configured to communicate over a wide area network to a central unit (CU) in a core network for processing the communications to/from the DU and the at least one tower.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling communications between a cloud service provider environment and a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network radio access network (RAN). One such method includes: controlling a first virtual private cloud (VPC) in a first region of the cloud service provider environment; providing a first routing table to a first transit gateway of the first region, the first routing table including an entry with a first association identifier that identifies the first VPC and a first Internet Protocol (IP) subnet identifier; providing a second routing table to the first transit gateway, the second routing table including an entry with a second association identifier that identifies a first direct connection router located at first direct connection location and a second subnet identifier; and receiving data transmitted via the first transit gateway and the first direct connection router.

Abstract: A 5G cellular network system includes a series of clusters that each comprise a distributed unit (DU); and a public network. The public network includes a central unit (CU) configured to communicate with each DU; a processor configured for managing communications from the CU through the DU via the cluster; and a series of availability zones that each is a zone that includes its own infrastructure independent of other availability zones to control the communications between each DU and the CU and to hand over cellular communications between availability zones if one of the availability zones fails.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for connecting a plurality of router devices and a plurality of network functions of a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network radio access network (RAN), the plurality of network functions provided in a cloud service provider environment. One such method includes: configuring operation of Boarder Gateway Protocol (BGP) on the first virtual router device; configuring operation of BGP on a second virtual router device; configuring a first virtual private cloud (VPC) in the cloud service provider environment, the first VPC performing a first one of the network functions; and routing a first network packet to the first VPC using the first virtual router device and the second virtual router device.

Abstract: A 5G cellular network system includes a private network accessible to only authorized users. The private network may include: a plurality of servers that each include: a processor; memory; an operating system; a distributed unit (DU) installed in the memory and a worker installed in the memory. The distributed unit includes computer instructions, that when executed by the processor, processes and controls communications with at least one tower to handle communications between cellular devices. Each DU communicates with a central unit (CU) deployed at a public network that is open to the authorized users and users other than the authorized users. The worker is configured to communicate over a wide area network to the CU in a core network for handling the communications to/from the DU and the CU.
