Abstract
A converged broadband access service controller (CBASC) for a 5G network provides for management of a passive optical network (PON) midhaul transport network path and a coaxial cable midhaul transport network path by receiving from RAN intelligent controller (RIC) or a network management system (NMS) a trigger for selecting a midhaul transport network path. The CBASC determines, based on analysis of concurrent traffic being transported, a selected midhaul transport path from among the PON and coaxial cable midhaul transport network paths. And the CBASC generates triggers to allocate and set up a service flow for the selected midhaul transport network path.
Claims22
A method, performed by a converged broadband access service controller (CBASC) for a 5G network, the 5G network including a passive optical network (PON) midhaul transport network path and a coaxial cable midhaul transport network path, the method comprising:
- receiving from a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) a trigger for selecting a midhaul transport network path;
- determining, based on analysis of concurrent transport network traffic information, a selected midhaul transport path from among the PON and coaxial cable midhaul transport network paths;
- triggering a transport path controller to allocate resources for the selected midhaul transport path;
- and
- triggering the RIC to set up a service flow for the selected midhaul transport network path.
