Abstract: Methods are presented herein for a reduced state machine that describes nodes and relationship dynamics representing real network elements (networking devices and software processes) in a computer/data network, and abstracted logical items. Logical states of networking features of the network elements are reflected in the graph, while configuration data is stored for completeness. A method called a “Versioner Algorithm” is provided to record the temporal history of a node and its state over time within the node's metadata itself, while recorded relationships represent logical relations between observed nodes. A method is also provided to time-travel back to observe a historical view of the network. Further still, a method is provided to a difference of two historical topologies and return that data in human-readable or machine consumable form.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to ensuring end-to-end packet delivery in a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) circuit with a high jitter packet-based fronthaul network. In one aspect, a method includes determining, at a de-mapper, that at least one data packet scheduled to be played out is not available; inserting an idle data packet into a buffer at the de-mapper for each data packet that is not available; continuously monitoring a packet playout process to (1) identify last valid data packet played out, (2) a number of idle data packets inserted, and (3) a number of data packets currently stored in the buffer; and determining that insertion of idle data packets into the buffer should be stopped and a valid data packet to be played out; wherein inserting the idle data packet and the valid data packet ensure link integrity in data packet transmission between two network elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to seamless access to a common physical disk in an AMP system without an external hypervisor, and includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the system to perform operations including instantiating, by a first instance, a second instance during a system upgrade, creating, in the first instance, a first disk abstraction for a block device of a physical disk, and attaching the block device under the first disk abstraction. The operations further include providing the second instance network-based access to the physical disk using the first disk abstraction of the first instance during the system upgrade.

Abstract: Techniques associated with link establishment in a fronthaul network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a proxy node, a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) bit stream transmitted by a radio equipment controller, wherein the CPRI bit stream is transmitted within a transmit time interval of the radio equipment controller; and fast-sampling, by the proxy node, the CPRI bit stream to determine whether a hyper frame number synchronization with the radio equipment controller at a common matching link bit rate is achievable, wherein the fast-sampling comprises attempting to decode the received CPRI bit stream and achieve the hyper frame number synchronization for each of a plurality of link bit rates configured for a fast-sampling time period during at least one fast-sampling time interval configured for the proxy node.

Abstract: In a fronthaul network system, when a CPRI link fault is detected at either of the REC or RE, both the REC and RE perform a Layer 1 synchronization. The fault may be a loss of signal, loss of frame, or a line code violation, which also translates to a loss of signal if seen beyond a threshold. A proxy slave recognizes the fault in a CPRI signal from a first radio device and inserts the fault alarm into a header of a radio over Ethernet frame. The proxy slave continues to communicate the signal for a configured number of hyper-frames. A proxy master receives the signal and communicates the signal and the fault alarm to a receiving radio device for a configured number of hyper-frames. The proxy and radio devices all perform a joint resynchronization.

Abstract: Techniques that provide link establishment between a radio equipment controller (REC) and a radio equipment (RE) in a fronthaul network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes performing, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) Layer 1 (L1) link auto-negotiation operations to establish a CPRI link between the REC and RE. A proxy slave may achieve a hyper frame number (HFN) synchronization with the REC at a link bit rate for a first CPRI bit stream and communicate the first CPRI bit stream and the link bit rate to a proxy master. The proxy master may communicate a second CPRI bit stream to the proxy slave to transmit to the REC. The L1 link auto-negotiation operations are completed and CPRI link is established between the REC and the RE when the REC achieves a HFN synchronization for the second CPRI bit stream.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for re-timing a packetized radio flow to clean noise induced by packet delay variation of a packet network. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a first node of a fronthaul network, a Radio over Ethernet (RoE) frame transmitted by a second node in which the RoE frame comprises a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) bit stream associated with a first radio device, a sequence number, and a first time stamp. The method may further include generating a second time stamp by the first node upon obtaining the RoE frame; calculating an induced delay value based, at least in part, on the first time stamp and the second time stamp; calculating a re-timing value based on a re-timing interval and the induced delay value; and transmitting the CPRI bit stream to a second radio device based on the re-timing value.
