Adaptive distributed unit (DU) scheduler

A system for managing scheduling radio resources, the system comprising:

• at least one memory that stores computer executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the computer executable instructions to cause actions to be performed, the actions including:
• a distributed unit (DU) with multiple pods supporting a cluster of cell sites across different morphologies, traffic patterns and service types, wherein the multiple pods are running on different compute instances managing a plurality of cells and each cell of the plurality of cells have both layer 1 (L1) and layer 2 (L2) processes running on a single compute instance;
• an intelligence layer receiving central processing unit (CPU) and memory utilization statistics of a plurality of compute servers providing the compute instances;
• determining whether there are certain compute servers of the plurality of compute servers which are running at higher utilization than other compute servers of the plurality of compute servers, thus impacting a capacity available to particular cells of the plurality of cells running on the certain compute servers;
• migrating some of the cells to run on the other compute servers until the CPU and memory utilization across the plurality of compute servers is substantially equal;
• monitoring a network traffic pattern of a particular cell site of the plurality a cell sites during off peak hours to detect when network traffic demand is low;
• based on the monitoring, in response to network traffic demand being detected to be lower than a particular threshold, migrating a cell corresponding to the particular cell site to another compute server to consolidate cells of the plurality of cells to run on a smaller group of compute servers of the plurality of compute servers;
• and
• causing some of the compute servers of the plurality of compute servers to be put in sleep mode based on the migrating the cell to conserve power at a central data center.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to cause actions to be performed, the actions including:

• a distributed unit (DU) with multiple pods supporting a cluster of cell sites across different morphologies, traffic patterns and service types, wherein the multiple pods are running on different compute instances managing a plurality of cells and each cell of the plurality of cells have both layer 1 (L1) and layer 2 (L2) processes running on a single compute instance;
• an intelligence layer receiving central processing unit (CPU) and memory utilization statistics of a plurality of compute servers providing the compute instances;
• determining whether there are certain compute servers of the plurality of compute servers which are running at higher utilization than other compute servers of the plurality of compute servers, thus impacting a capacity available to particular cells of the plurality of cells running on the certain compute servers;
• migrating some of the cells to run on the other compute servers until the CPU and memory utilization across the plurality of compute servers is substantially equal;

• based on the monitoring, in response to network traffic demand being detected to be lower than a particular threshold, migrating a cell corresponding to the particular cell site to another compute server to consolidate cells of the plurality of cells to run on a smaller group of compute servers of the plurality of compute servers;
