US Patent 11838169 Remote logging management in multi-vendor O-RAN networks

A radio access network includes first and second hardware systems. The first hardware system instantiates a radio unit (RU) controller of the radio access network. The second hardware system instantiates a RU of the radio access network. The RU includes a plurality of data modules, each configured to provide a logging function for the RU. The RU controller provides a list of access control groups (ACGs) to the RU, each ACG associating an operator on the radio access network with at least one of the data modules. The RU arranges the data modules into logging modules, each logging module associated with a particular ACG, the RU being configured to restrict access to the data modules based upon the logging modules.
