Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques including APIs, subscription services, and controllers to enable one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) networks to share information. For example, a processor comprising one or more circuits can perform an API or subscription service to cause a device in a radio access network (RAN) to share its analytic data with a device in a transport network, and said device in said transport network can use said analytic data to adjust its network settings to improve performance.

Claims (30)

1 . One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to, in response to an application programming interface (API) call:

indicate one or more devices, within one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) core networks, with which one or more devices, within one or more 5G transport networks, are to share analytic information including one or more performance measurements of the one or more 5G transport networks; and

cause the analytic information to be shared from the one or more devices within the one or more 5G transport networks to the indicated one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

2 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks are deployed therein.

3 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein to indicate includes to provide an internet protocol (IP) address of the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks to the one or more devices within one or more 5G transport networks.

4 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the API is callable to subscribe to the analytic information.

5 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is to further adjust one or more settings of the one or more 5G-NR core networks based, at least in part, on the analytic information.

6 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are to call the API in response to an event occurring.

7 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks are to modify performance settings of an application based, at least in part, on the analytic information, and wherein the application is performed by one or more devices in the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

8 . A system, comprising memory to store instructions that, as a result of performance by one or more processors, cause the system to, in response to an application programming interface (API) call:

indicate one or more devices, within one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) core networks, with which one or more devices, within one or more 5G transport networks, are to share analytic information including one or more performance measurements of the one or more 5G transport networks; and

cause the analytic information to be shared from the one or more devices within the one or more 5G transport networks to the indicated one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks are deployed therein.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein to indicate includes to provide an internet protocol (IP) address of the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks to the one or more devices within one or more 5G transport networks.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the API is callable to subscribe to the analytic information.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are to call the API in response to an event occurring.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks are to modify performance settings of an application based, at least in part, on the analytic information, and wherein the application is performed in the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein to indicate includes to provide an internet protocol (IP) address of the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

15 . A method comprising:

in response to an application programming interface (API) call:

indicating one or more devices, within one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) core networks, with which one or more devices, within one or more 5G transport networks, are to share analytic information including one or more performance measurements of the one or more 5G transport networks; and

causing the analytic information to be shared from the one or more devices within the one or more 5G transport networks to the indicated one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

16 . The method of claim 15 , the method further comprising:

in response to the API call, initiating a subscription service, wherein the subscription service performed by one or more processors is to periodically provide analytic information of the one or more 5G transport networks to the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

17 . The method of claim 15 , the method further comprising:

adjusting settings of the one or more 5G-NR core networks based, at least in part, on the analytic information.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein to indicate includes to provide an internet protocol (IP) address of the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

19 . The method of claim 15 , the method further comprises:

modifying performance settings of an application based, at least in part, on the analytic information, and wherein the application is performed in the one or more 5G-NR core networks.

20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more devices within the one or more 5G-NR core networks are deployed therein.
