VIRTUALIZATION CAPACITY AND CONGESTION DETECTION FOR OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

Abstract: example systems, processes, and articles of manufacture tend to detect capacity breaches in an area of interest (aoi) of an open radio access network (ran). an example process includes generating a subscriber growth model in the aoi of the ran, querying data for cells in the aoi of the ran over a sampling period, and of extrapolating the data using the subscriber growth model to generate forecast indicators for the cells and for sectors associated with the cells. the forecast indicators are compared to capacity thresholds to forecast sector capacity breaches at the sectors. the process may also include forecasting a virtual distributed unit (vdu) capacity breach in response to forecasting the sector capacity breaches, forecasting a virtual central unit (vcu) capacity breach in response to forecasting the sector capacity breaches, and identifying a capacity expansion in response to the vdu capacity breach or the vcu capacity breach.
