Abstract
Example embodiments are directed towards systems and for a pass-through edge data center (P-EDC) in a 5G wireless telecommunication network having a disaggregated, flexible and virtualized radio access network (RAN) implemented on a cloud computing service provider cloud. The P-EDC may provide a direct circuit fiber connection from the distributed unit (DU) directly to the primary physical data center (e.g., a breakout edge data center (B-EDC)) hosting the centralized unit (CU). In some embodiments, the local data center (LDC), P-EDC, and/or the B-EDC may be co-located or in a single location. The CUmay be connected to a regional cloud data center (RDC), which in turn may be connected to a national cloud data center (NDC). The hardware of the P-EDC, the LDC, the cell siteand the RUmay all be managed, owned and/or controlled by one or more mobile network operators, whereas the hardware of the B-EDC, the RDC and the NDC may all be managed, hosted and/or owned by a cloud computing service provider.
