Dynamic open radio access network radio unit sharing between multiple tenant open radio access network distributed units

A system comprising:

• a memory storage;
• and
• a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
• receive tenant policies for a first tenant and a second tenant;
• determine initial sharing templates for the first tenant and the second tenant based on the tenant policies, wherein the processing unit being operative to determining the initial sharing templates for the first tenant and the second tenant based on the tenant policies comprises the processing unit being operative to:
• determine a first Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) configuration for the first tenant and a first PRB allocation for the first tenant;
• determine a second PBCH and PSS configuration for the second tenant and a second PRB allocation for the second tenant;
• and
• determine a reserve PRB allocation;
• send the initial sharing templates to a first tenant Distributed Unit (DU) and a second tenant DU;
• receive operating metrics from the first tenant DU and the second tenant DU;
• determine operational factors based on the operating metrics, wherein the processing unit being operative to determine the operating factors comprises the processing unit being operative to determine Control Channel Element (CCE) utilizations for each of the first tenant and the second tenant;
• alter an allocation of resources between the first tenant and the second tenant based on the operational factors, wherein the processing unit being operative to alter the allocation of the resources between the first tenant and the second tenant comprises the processing unit being operative to offload a CCE for any of (i) the first tenant, (ii) the second tenant, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) based on the CCE utilizations;
• and
• send the altered allocation of resources to the first tenant DU and the second tenant DU.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:

• receiving tenant policies for a first tenant and a second tenant;
• determining initial sharing templates for the first tenant and the second tenant based on the tenant policies, wherein determining the initial sharing templates for the first tenant and the second tenant based on the tenant policies comprises:
• determining a first Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) configuration for the first tenant and a first PRB allocation for the first tenant;
• determining a second PBCH and PSS configuration for the second tenant and a second PRB allocation for the second tenant;
• and
• determining a reserve PRB allocation;
• sending the initial sharing templates to a first tenant Distributed Unit (DU) and a second tenant DU;
• receiving operating metrics from the first tenant DU and the second tenant DU;
• determining operational factors based on the operating metrics, wherein determining the operating factors comprises determining Control Channel Element (CCE) utilizations for each of the first tenant and the second tenant;
• altering an allocation of resources between the first tenant and the second tenant based on the operational factors, wherein altering the allocation of the resources between the first tenant and the second tenant comprises offloading a CCE for any of (i) the first tenant, (ii) the second tenant, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) based on the CCE utilizations;
• and
• sending the altered allocation of resources to the first tenant DU and the second tenant DU.
