Managing multiple carriers of radio discovered by NGDU in O-RAN

Abstract

Embodiments are directed to a NGDU for managing radio units in an O-RAN. The NGDU includes a RIM management controller, a plurality of DUs, at least two processing units includes multiple CPRI ports and a plurality of RUs connected to each of the at least two processing units through the plurality of CPRI ports. The RIM management controller includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a DU port ID associated with the RU and determine a processing unit to which the at least one RU is connected based on the DU port ID. The processor is also configured to map the processing unit to a CPRI port in a DU port registry, determine the CPRI port connecting the RU to the NGDU based on the mapping and enable communication between the RU connected to the determined CPRI port and a corresponding DU over the ORAN.
