Abstract
Systems and methods of managing control unit checks in a 5G stand-alone 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 network interface; executing the script based on the input by retrieving network data based on the input, and executing, based on the retrieved network data, a plurality of checks for the CU of the telecommunication network; and generating an output report based on an outcome of the plurality of checks.
Claims18
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 at least one of an input type, an input target, a log prefix, or a network interface;
- executing, with the processing system, the script based on the input, wherein executing the script includes:
- retrieving network data based on the input, and
- executing, based on the retrieved network data, a plurality of checks for the CU of the telecommunication network, wherein executing the plurality of checks for the CU includes executing a first health check on a set of interfaces of the CU, including:
- for each interface included in the set of interfaces:
- determining an establishment status;
- and
- when the establishment status indicates that the interface is established:
- executing a ping check for the interface;
- and
- determining a connectivity status based on the ping check;
- and
- generating, with the processing system, an output report based on an outcome of the plurality of checks.
A telecommunications network with at least one processor and a memory, the 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 script for a control unit (CU) of the virtual RAN server;
- receive an input, the input including at least one of an input type, an input target, a log prefix, or an interface;
- retrieve network data based on the input;
- execute, based on the retrieved network data, the script to perform a plurality of checks for the CU, wherein the script is to perform a first health check of the plurality of checks plurality of checks for the CU on a set of interfaces of the CU, wherein performance of the first health check includes:
- for each interface included in the set of interfaces:
- determining an establishment status;
- and
- when the establishment status indicates that the interface is established:
- executing a ping check for the interface;
- and
- determining a connectivity status based on the ping check;
- and
- generate an output report based on an outcome of the plurality of checks.
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 at least one of an input type, an input target, a log prefix, or a network interface;
- executing the script based on the input, wherein executing the script includes:
- retrieving network data based on the input, and
- executing, based on the retrieved network data, a plurality of checks for the CU of the telecommunication network, wherein executing the plurality of checks for the CU includes executing a first health check on a set of interfaces of the CU, including:
- for each interface included in the set of interfaces:
- determining an establishment status;
- and
- when the establishment status indicates that the interface is established:
- executing a ping check for the interface;
- and
- determining a connectivity status based on the ping check;
- and
- generating an output report based on an outcome of the plurality of checks.
