  • Patent number: 11758423
    Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual base station capable of hosting multiple network operators and/or private networks in a single compute environment. The virtual base station includes a plurality of virtual baseband processors configured to communicate with the plurality of mobile network operators, a supervisor module, a fronthaul network interface configured to be coupled to one or more remote units, and a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) coordinator module coupled to the supervisor module and the one or more virtual baseband processors. The base station may have on or more CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Daemons to act as a proxy for obtaining grants to CBRS channels and allocating the CBRS channels to the mobile network operators.

  • Publication number: 20230276267
    Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual wireless base station that can dynamically scale its capacity to meet changes in demand for connectivity. The virtual wireless base station includes a plurality of virtual baseband modules, a plurality of interface/router modules, an orchestrator module and a fabric mapper module. Each of the plurality of virtual baseband modules is coupled to the interface/router modules by a low latency switch fabric. The orchestrator determines current and near future demand for connectivity within the virtual wireless base station and either instantiates and connects new virtual baseband processors to meet a rise in demand, or shuts down underutilized virtual baseband processors in case of insufficient demand.

  • Publication number: 20220405384
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for securing a wireless telecommunications network that is capable of distributing licensed capacity (in the form of connection licenses) to respond to localized fluctuations in demand. The system includes a master license server and a plurality of local license servers. The local license servers are coupled to a plurality of virtual wireless base stations over a bus. Each of the local license servers has a blockchain implementation that secures the virtual wireless base stations. For example, the blockchain implementation logs each transaction in which connection licenses change ownership among the virtual wireless base stations.
