In general, the current subject matter relates to triggering network redundancy based on LBM. In some implementations, triggering network redundancy based on LBM can include, via a DU, transmitting an LBM data request to an RU, receiving an LBM data response from the RU, enabling user plane communications with the RU based on receiving the LBM data response, transmitting, based on the established periodicity, a second LBM data request based on a MAC address to a plurality of RUs including the RU, marking the RU as non-responsive when a second LBM data response to the second LBM data request from the RU is not received or the second LBM data response indicates an issue for a consecutive number of times, and establishing a second MAC address for communicating with the plurality of RUs when each of the plurality of RUs are marked as non-responsive.

Triggering network redundancy based on loopback messaging

A computer-implemented method of distributing traffic includes distributing, to a first distributed unit (DU), traffic via a first path, receiving, from the first DU, an indication generated by a first dry contact alarm of the first DU that a state has changed in the first DU, switching, by an optical switch, the traffic from the first path to a second path based on the indication from the first DU, and distributing, to a second DU, the traffic via the second path.

A UE reports an ECGI of a target eNB/gNB missing an X2/Xn interface to a source eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB sends a configuration transfer message to a network element to get the X2/Xn interface TNLA of the target eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB initiates an initial backoff timer and an exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB determines whether the TNLA discovery procedure time is equal to or greater than a current backoff time, the current backoff time being equal to a previous backoff period multiplied by the exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB may resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when a previous TNLA discovery procedure time for the same ECGI is equal to or greater than the current backoff time, and not resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when the previous TNLA discovery procedure time is less than the current backoff time.
