Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for dynamic bandwidth allocations for cell site transport links on a radio-based network. In one embodiment, a predicted bandwidth usage at a cell site of a radio-based network is determined. A bandwidth allocation on a data link between the cell site and a data center is dynamically adjusted based at least in part on the predicted bandwidth usage.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a radio-based network comprising a cell site serving a geographic area, the radio-based network further comprising a radio access network (RAN) and a core network, the core network being at least partly implemented in a cloud provider network;
- a data link between the cell site and a local zone or a regional zone of the cloud provider network, the data link having a maximum bandwidth, the data link transporting network traffic between a core network function implemented in the local zone or the regional zone and at least one of:
- a distributed unit (DU) or a centralized unit (CU) at the cell site;
- and
- at least one computing device configured to at least:
- receive state information about the RAN from a RAN controller;
- and
- dynamically adjust a bandwidth allocation for the radio-based network on the data link to be less than the maximum bandwidth based at least in part on the state information about the RAN.
5 more elements
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining a predicted bandwidth usage at a cell site of a radio-based network based at least in part on radio access network (RAN) state information;
- and
- dynamically adjusting a bandwidth allocation on a data link between the cell site and a data center based at least in part on the predicted bandwidth usage.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining that a data link between a cloud provider network and at least one of:
- a distributed unit (DU) of a radio-based network or a centralized unit (CU) of the radio-based network is experiencing congestion;
- and
- dynamically increasing a bandwidth allocation on the data link in response to determining that the data link is experiencing congestion.
