說(shuō)明書(shū)
Various embodiments of the present disclosure may also bring the concept of elasticity and utility computing from the cloud computing model to radio-based networks and associated core networks. For example, the disclosed techniques can run core and radio access network functions and associated control plane management functions on cloud provider infrastructure, creating a cloud native core network and/or a cloud native radio access network (RAN). Such core and RAN network functions can be based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications in some implementations. By providing a cloud-native radio-based network, a customer may dynamically scale its radio-based network based on utilization, latency requirements, and/or other factors. Customers may also configure thresholds to receive alerts relating to radio-based network usage and excess capacity usage of their provisioned infrastructure, in order to more effectively manage provisioning of new infrastructure or deprovisioning of existing infrastructure based on their dynamic networking and workload requirements.
As one skilled in the art will appreciate in light of this disclosure, certain embodiments may be capable of achieving certain advantages, including some or all of the following: (1) improving frequency spectrum utilization by allowing radio-based networks to use problematic spectrum for client devices having QoS requirements that can be met while operating in that spectrum; (2) improving reliability for client devices and applications connected to a radio-based network by matching QoS needs with available frequency schemes in a geographic area; (3) improving flexibility and removing barriers for radio-based network operators by allowing radio-based networks to be successfully deployed in a geographic area when licensed spectrum is unavailable; and so forth.
