Abstract
In various embodiments, ZTP execution workflows are provided to enable integration of individual cells into an O-RAN. In various embodiments, this involves provisioning computer hosts including a first computer host, a second computer host and a group of computer hosts. In those embodiments, this includes provisioning a server management software on the first computer host; creating a node pool using the group of computer hosts; provisioning a distributed unit (DU) on the second computer host; and configuring a RAN using the DU.
Claims20
A computerized method to automatically deploy and configure an open radio access network (O-RAN), the method comprising:
- provisioning computer hosts in a core network of the O-RAN and one or more cell sites, wherein the computer hosts include a first computer host, a second computer host and a group of computer hosts, the group not including the first computer host, and the second computer host;
- provisioning a server management software on the first computer host;
- creating a node pool using the group of computer hosts;
- provisioning a distributed unit (DU) on the second computer host at a cell site within the O-RAN;
- determining that the DU is successfully registered after provisioning;
- and
- configuring a radio access network (RAN) using the DU, wherein the configuring the RAN includes configuring DU parameters for the DU to establish a first communication link with at least one radio unit (RU) provisioned at the cell site and a second communication link with at least one centralized unit (CU), and configuring one or more radio unit (RU) parameters that interface the RU with the DU.
A processor configured to implement computerized method to automatically deploy and configure an open radio access network (O-RAN), the method comprising:
- provisioning computer hosts in a core network of the O-RAN and one or more cell sites, wherein the computer hosts include a first computer host, a second computer host and a group of computer hosts, the group not including the first computer host, and the second computer host;
- provisioning a server management software on the first computer host;
- creating a node pool using the group of computer hosts;
- provisioning a distributed unit (DU) on the second computer host at a cell site within the O-RAN;
- and
- configuring a radio access network (RAN) using the DU, wherein the configuring the RAN includes configuring DU parameters for the DU to establish a first communication link with at least one radio unit (RU) provisioned at the cell site and a second communication link with at least one centralized unit (CU), and configuring one or more radio unit (RU) parameters that interface the RU with the DU.
