Abstract: Systems and methods for group monitoring and management of network function statuses are provided. In one example, a method includes: generating a group query for statuses of a plurality of network functions of a network, in response to the group query performing group monitoring of the plurality of network functions to check the real-time status of each one of the plurality of network functions, receiving data corresponding to real-time status of each network function, comparing the data corresponding to real-time status with data corresponding to reference status for each one of the plurality of network functions, identifying presence or absence of an anomaly of each one of the plurality of network functions, based on the comparison, and generating a network function status output including data corresponding to the real-time status and an indication of the presence or absence of an anomaly for each network function.

Abstract: A disclosed method may include (i) generating, at a first time, a first bitmap where each bit of the first bitmap indicates a pass or fail for a respective health check test in a series of health check tests testing a cellular service network, (ii) generating, at a second time, a second bitmap where each bit of the second bitmap indicates a pass or fail for a corresponding respective health check test in the same series of health check tests testing the cellular service network, and (iii) remediating a network problem indicated by detecting that a first result of a data integrity function executed on the first bitmap does not match a second result of the same data integrity function executed on the second bitmap.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a call trace with a cloud-implemented cellular network core are provided. In one example, a method includes: receiving input of a cloud computing region of a cloud computing platform for call trace, identifying a plurality of instantiations of a pod within a cellular network core function of a cellular network core, the cellular network core function being executed on the cloud-computing platform, and executing a call trace for the plurality of instantiations of the pod within the cellular network core function. The cellular network core of a cellular network is implemented across multiple cloud computing regions, and the cellular network core is implemented on the cloud computing platform that includes a plurality of cloud computing regions that includes the cloud computing region.

Abstract: A disclosed method may include (i) maintaining a database that maps cellular reference link types to geographic hubs that include a respective cellular network node connected through a respective cellular reference link type, (ii) cycling through the database, within a portion of the database for a specific cellular reference link type, to perform a ping operation from each respective geographic hub mapped to the specific cellular reference link type, and (iii) displaying, through a graphical user interface, results to an administrator indicating which ping operations from the cycling through the database indicated a failure such that the administrator is enabled to perform a remediation operation. Various other systems and computer-readable mediums are further disclosed.

Abstract: Various arrangements for performing health monitoring of cellular network functions in a cloud-computing environment are presented. A cloud computing region may be input for analysis. A 5G cellular network core may be implemented on a cloud computing platform. Input of a cellular core function for analysis may also be received. Instantiations of the cellular core function and pods of the cellular core function executed within the cloud computing region can be identified. A customized test query can be performed based on the input of the cellular core function. A status of the cellular core function can be output based on the customized test query.
