Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards overcoming limitations of a virtual private cloud (VPC) implemented on a public cloud in a cloud-native 5G wireless telecommunication network by overlaying a network of virtual routers (vRouters) across a software defined data center (SDDC) and virtual private cloud (VPC) in such a manner that enables telecommunication network traffic to communicate between one or more telecommunication NFs of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running on a cloud-native platform of the public cloud (e.g., may be workloads that exist in native AWS) and one or more other telecommunication network functions (NFs) of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running in the in the SDDC using the connected VPC (e.g., such as when using VMWare Cloud to implement the SDDC). The connected VPC is a private cloud existing within the public cloud 202 and the overlay network implemented by such vRouters operationally connects the VPC to the host public cloud and other public clouds.

Abstract: Embodiments an enterprise leasing from an access on-demand (AoD) provider access to radio unit (RU) and spectrum having specific bandwidth. The enterprise instantiates some of their network functions (NFs) to reside in the AoD private cloud and other NFs in a private or public cloud provided by a could service provider of their choice. The enterprise leases their desired NFs, spectrum and transport (all as a service) to build their 5G network. The system of the AoD provider also offers the enterprises transport/connectivity to other public/private clouds or to the Internet and offers management services to the enterprises.

The cellular network can be used to identify a cluster template based on the characteristics. The cellular network can then instantiate a cluster based on the cluster template on a public cloud computing platform. Access, via a radio access network (RAN) of the cellular network can then be provided to one or more client services executed within the cluster on the public cloud computing platform.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for a fifth generation (5G) cloud-native wireless telecommunication network operated by a mobile network operator (MNO) implemented on a public cloud of a cloud computing service provider. Such a method may include the MNO operating telecommunication network functions (NFs) of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running within the public cloud. An indication may be received that one or more of the NFs of the 5G wireless telecommunication network running within the public cloud has a requirement to connect to another communication service provider (CSP) network different than the 5G cloud-native wireless telecommunication network operated by the MNO. Based on the indication, the system causes an autonomous system number (ASN) of the MNO to be used for network traffic from the one or more NFs to the other CSP network instead of an ASN of the cloud computing service providers.
