Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for managing radio-based private networks. In one embodiment, a cellular network comprises at least one cell that provides a radio-based private network coverage of a site of an organization. The system further comprises at least one computing device in a cloud provider network that implements one or more network functions for an associated core network of the radio-based private network.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device in a cloud provider network;
- and
- instructions executable in the at least one computing device, wherein when executed the instructions cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- receive a request from an organization to provision a radio-based private network, including a radio access network and an associated core network, to cover one or more buildings of the organization;
- determine an arrangement of a plurality of cells to cover the one or more buildings;
- automatically identify frequency spectrum for the plurality of cells via a spectrum reservation service;
- cause cell equipment to be preconfigured to implement the plurality of cells before shipping the cell equipment to the organization;
- and
- provision at least a portion of the associated core network for the organization in the cloud provider network.

A cellular network, comprising:
- at least one cell that provides a radio-based private network coverage for at least one site of an organization;
- at least one computing device in a cloud provider network that implements at least one network function for an associated core network of the radio-based private network;
- and
- a radio-based private network management service executable in the at least one computing device, wherein when executed the radio-based private network management service causes the at least one computing device to at least:
- monitor at least one of:
- a utilization or a latency of the radio-based private network;
- and
- in response to determining that the at least one of:
- the utilization or the latency meets a threshold criterion, preconfigure equipment to implement an additional cell for the radio-based private network before shipping the equipment to the organization.
6 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by at least one computing device, a request from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network and an associated core network to cover a site of the organization;
- determining an arrangement of one or more cells to cover the site;
- causing, by the at least one computing device, cell equipment to be preconfigured to implement the one or more cells before shipping the cell equipment to the organization;
- and
- provisioning, by the at least one computing device, at least a portion of the associated core network for the organization in a cloud provider network.
