US 12,587,816 B2 · System for implementing physical layer operations as microservices in a mobile network

Abstract

Various embodiments of the disclosure described a system and method that implements Hi-PHY operations in a mobile network using a microservices-based architecture across a variety of heterogeneous multi-core processing nodes. Further, the system and method facilitate the optimal mapping of microservices to each element (e.g., hardware processing element or the like) of the processing node(s) based on defined optimization targets associated with deployment constraints. The system and method described may enable the portability of Hi-PHY operations by separating the functionality and implementation aspects of each microservice. Further, the system and method enable the scalability of Hi-PHY operations by creating multiple instances of microservices to distribute the processing load efficiently. The system and method described further enable the dynamic implementation of Hi-PHY processing chains through the utilization of microservices.
