Abstract
A method for reporting data to a Northbound Management System (NBMS) via a Network Function (NF) level northbound Stats reporting microservice (MS) in an NF of a Radio Access Network (RAN), the method including receiving, by a Performance Management (PM) MS from at least one other MS of the NF, performance data for the PM MS; processing, by the PM MS, the received performance data; obtaining, by the Stats reporting MS, the processed performance data; and reporting, from the Stats reporting MS to the NBMS, the processed performance data.
Claims20
A method of reporting data to a Northbound Management System (NBMS) via a Network Function (NF) level northbound Statistics reporting microservice (Stats reporting MS) in an NF of a Radio Access Network (RAN), performed by at least one processor implementing the NF, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a Performance Management (PM) MS in the NF from at least one other MS in the NF, performance data of the NF;
- processing, by the PM MS, the received performance data;
- obtaining, by the Stats reporting MS, the processed performance data;
- and
- reporting, from the Stats reporting MS to the NBMS, the processed performance data,
- wherein the NF is a centralized unit (CU) or a distributed unit (DU) of a mobile telecommunications network.
A system for reporting data to a Northbound Management System (NBMS) via a Network Function (NF) level Northbound Statistics reporting microservice (Stats reporting MS) in an NF of a Radio Access Network (RAN), the system comprising:
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive, by a Performance Management (PM) MS in the NF from at least one other MS in the NF, performance data of the NF;
- process, by the PM MS, the received performance data;
- obtain, by the Stats reporting MS, the processed performance data;
- and
- report, from the Stats reporting MS to the NBMS, the processed performance data,
- wherein the NF is a centralized unit (CU) or a distributed unit (DU) of a mobile telecommunications network.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor to perform a method for reporting data to a Northbound Management System (NBMS) via a Network Function (NF) level Statistics reporting microservice (Stats reporting MS) in an NF of a Radio Access Network (RAN), the method comprising:
- receiving, by a Performance Management microservice (PM MS) in the NF from at least one other MS in the NF, performance data of the NF;
- processing, by the PM MS, the received performance data;
- obtaining, by the Stats reporting MS, the processed performance data;
- and
- reporting, from the Stats reporting MS to the NBMS, the processed performance data,
- wherein the NF is a centralized unit (CU) or a distributed unit (DU) of a mobile telecommunications network.
