A system is disclosed for providing Open RAN CU-UP high availability, the system comprising: at least one active CU-CP; at least one active CU-UP in communication with the at least one active CU-CP; and at least one standby CU-UP in communication with the at least one active CU-CP; wherein when a message may be received from a CU-CP that detects a failure of the at least one active CU-UP, the at least one standby CU-UP may be configured to take over and become an active CU-UP, thereby providing failover redundancy for the at least one active CU-UP.

OpenRAN intelligent dynamic CU-UP scaling solution

A method for linking Packet Detection Rules (PDRs) for optimizing throughput of combined Serving Gateway (SGW)/Packet Gateway (PGW) architecture is disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes, determining a SGW and a PGW are co-located on a system and when the SGW and PGW are co-located on a same system then performing a Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) session lookup for an uplink packet at the SGW; determining which PDR to use for sending the uplink traffic; using the PDR to remove any tunneling protocol header; checking the PDR to determine if the next hop is local; when the next hop is local, then finding the PGW PDRs for this FTEID; identifying a PGW PDR matching with the current packet; performing any packet encapsulation; and after performing any optional header checksum calculations, sending the packet.

Support for linking of packet detection rules (PDR) for optimizing throughput of combined serving gateway (SGW)/packet gateway (PGW) architecture

A method is disclosed, comprising: in a general packet radio services (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) message to update a GTP tunnel with a traffic flow template (TFT), sending a first opcode in a header of a TFT message; sending a second opcode in a packet filter field of the TFT message; interpreting the first opcode to initiate at least two of creation, deletion, and updating of traffic flow templates (TFTs); and interpreting the second opcode to identify an existing packet filter for adding, replacing, and deleting a packet filter.
