Abstract
Systems and methods of managing control unit recovery in a telecommunications network perform or include: initializing a script; receiving an input including at least one of an input type, an input target, a log prefix, or a CU module; executing a pre-restart health check based on the input; rebooting one or more pods based on the input; executing a post-restart health check based on the input; determining a recovery status based on the pre-restart health check and/or the post-restart health check; and generating an output report based on the recovery status.
Claims20
A method, the method comprising:
- initializing, with a processing system including at least one electronic processor, a script for a control unit (CU) of a telecommunication network;
- receiving, with the processing system, an input, the input including a target network entity and a first CU plane;
- executing, with the processing system, a first health check for a plurality of pods of the CU for the target network entity, wherein the plurality of pods are within the first CU plane;
- rebooting, with the processing system, the plurality of pods;
- executing, with the processing system, a second health check for the plurality of pods;
- determining, with the processing system, a recovery status for the plurality of pods based on the first health check and the second health check;
- and
- generating, with the processing system, an output report, the output report including the recovery status.
A telecommunications network comprising:
- a wireless access point (WAP) configured to communicate with a user equipment;
- and
- a virtual radio access network (RAN) server operatively connected to the WAP, the virtual RAN server configured to:
- initialize a recovery script associated with a control unit (CU);
- receive an input, the input including a target network entity and a first CU plane;
- execute a first iteration of a health check for a plurality of pods of the CU for the target network entity, wherein the plurality of pods is within the first CU plane;
- after executing the first iteration of the health check, reboot the plurality of pods;
- execute a second iteration of the health check for the plurality of pods;
- determine a recovery status for the plurality of pods based on the first iteration and the second iteration of the health check;
- and
- generate an output report, the output report including the recovery status.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more electronic processors of a computer in a telecommunications network, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- initializing a script for a control unit (CU) of a telecommunication network;
- receiving an input, the input including a target network entity and a first CU plane;
- executing a first health check for a plurality of pods of the CU for the target network entity, wherein the plurality of pods are within the first CU plane;
- rebooting the plurality of pods;
- executing a second health check for the plurality of pods;
- determining a recovery status for the plurality of pods based on the first health check and the second health check;
- and
- generating an output report, the output report including the recovery status.
