ABSTRACT: In 5G networks, the concepts of "disaggregation" and "virtualization" make the telco networks look like IT cloud networks. The scaling benefits accrued in an IT cloud network are thus being brought to the telco cloud simplifying deployment, provisioning, and automation. Specifically, the disaggregation in the DU landscape has propelled the separation of the DU hardware and software. DU High PHY has adopted a software-defined approach executing on COTS hardware. Consequently, there is a diverse ecosystem of DU Independent Software Vendors (ISV). However, the independent hardware vendor (IHV) ecosystem for DU is still very niche and results in vendor lock-in. The talk describes a new methodology to design and develop portable RAN Modems in a hardware-agnostic manner. The proposed method focuses on optimizing a "virtualized RAN" architecture deployed by telecom operators and could be used for any DSP application. The solution allows mobile network operators to work with custom RAN hardware without sacrificing COTS solution benefits, allowing the operators to move across multiple hardware vendors. Along with portability, the dynamic and optimum utilization of the underlying compute resources is a crucial requirement addressed by this methodology. The proposed method is thus an essential step in the development of a Truly Open Virtualized RAN. SPEAKER: |
