Hypervisor for shared spectrum core and regional network elements

Abstract

Systems and methods include a manager for core network elements, regional network elements, and other network elements to facilitate use of and compatibility with shared access systems.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to effectuate operations comprising:
 receiving, at a network element hypervisor, shared access system data from a shared access system element outside a network; 
 determining whether the shared access system data has changed; and 
 based on the determining of whether the shared access system data has changed,
 providing instructions to determine nodes related to the network hypervisor the are impacted when the data has changed, or 
 providing instructions to monitor for additional shared access system data when the shared access system data has not changed. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the network is a core network. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
 generating a regional network element command based on a core network element; and   transmitting the regional network element command to a regional network element via the core network element.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the regional network command instructs a frequency change to comply with the shared access system data. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising determining one or more core network elements or regional network elements impacted by the shared access system data. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising creating or destroying a virtualized instance of a network element based on the shared access system data. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising sensing at least a portion of the shared access system data using a sensor. 
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that cause a processor executing the instructions to effectuate operations comprising:
 receiving, at a network element hypervisor, shared access system data from a shared access system element outside a network;   determining whether the shared access system data has changed; and   based on the determining of whether the shared access system data has changed,
 providing instructions to determine nodes related to the network hypervisor the are impacted when the data has changed, or 
 providing instructions to monitor for additional shared access system data when the shared access system data has not changed. 
   
     
     
         9 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the network is a core network. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising:
 generating a regional network element command based on a core network element; and   transmitting the regional network element command to a regional network element via the core network element.   
     
     
         11 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the regional network command instructs a frequency change to comply with the shared access system data. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising determining one or more core network elements or regional network elements impacted by the shared access system data. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising creating or destroying a virtualized instance of a network element based on the shared access system data. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising sensing at least a portion of the shared access system data using a sensor. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 receiving, at a network element hypervisor, shared access system data from a shared access system element outside a network;   determining whether the shared access system data has changed; and   based on the determining of whether the shared access system data has changed,
 providing instructions to determine nodes related to the network hypervisor the are impacted when the data has changed, or 
 providing instructions to monitor for additional shared access system data when the shared access system data has not changed. 
   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the network is a core network. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 generating a regional network element command based on a core network element; and   transmitting the regional network element command to a regional network element via the core network element.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the regional network command instructs a frequency change to comply with the shared access system data. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , the operations further comprising determining one or more core network elements or regional network elements impacted by the shared access system data. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , the operations further comprising creating or destroying a virtualized instance of a network element based on the shared access system data.
