DETECTION OF FAILURES IN VIRTUALIZED RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17827684 titled 'DETECTION OF FAILURES IN VIRTUALIZED RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is about a system that transfers data traffic between a radio unit (RU) and a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) instance. - If the vRAN instance fails to send a downlink fronthaul packet to the RU within a specific time limit, a failure notification is sent to a PHY layer failure response function. - This failure to communicate the packet within the time limit indicates a failure of the vRAN instance. - The innovation is focused on detecting and notifying failures in the communication between the RU and the vRAN instance. - The system aims to improve the reliability and performance of the cellular network by promptly identifying and addressing failures in the vRAN instance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Data traffic is communicated between a radio unit (RU) of a cellular network and a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) instance of a vRAN. In response to determining that the vRAN instance has failed to communicate a downlink fronthaul packet to the RU within a threshold timeout interval, a failure notification is sent to a PHY layer failure response function. The failure to communicate the downlink fronthaul packet to the RU within the threshold timeout interval is indicative of a failure of the vRAN instance.
