System and method for implementing parallel software instances in O-RAN in a cellular network

A system for implementing parallel software instances in Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) with disaggregated hardware and software in a cellular network, the system comprising:

• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions and causes the processor to:
• initiate a first instance of a Distributed Unit (DU) of a Radio Access Network (RAN) on a first portion of a plurality of core processors in the cellular network;
• initiate a second instance of the DU of the RAN on a second portion of the plurality of core processors, wherein the first portion of the plurality of core processors is distinct from the second portion of the plurality of core processors in the cellular network;
• run the first instance of the DU of the RAN on the first portion of the plurality of core processors concurrently with the second instance of the DU of the RAN on the second portion of the plurality of core processors;
• and
• swap an active instance from the first instance of the DU of the RAN on the first portion of the plurality of core processors with the second instance of the DU of the RAN on the second portion of the plurality of core processors.

A system for implementing parallel software instances in a cellular component using Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), the system comprising:

• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions and causes the processor to:
• enable initiation of a first instance of a Distributed Unit (DU) of a RAN on a first portion of a plurality of core processors in a cellular network;
• enable initiation of a second instance of the DU of the RAN on a second portion of the plurality of core processors, wherein the first portion of the plurality of core processors is distinct from the second portion of the plurality of core processors in the cellular network;
• execute the first instance of the DU of the RAN on the first portion of the plurality of core processors concurrently with the second instance of the DU of the RAN on the second portion of the plurality of core processors;
• and
• swap an active instance of the first instance of the DU of the RAN on the first portion of the plurality of core processors, and with the second instance of the DU of the RAN on the second portion of the plurality of core processors.
