Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for Xx/Xn interface communication containing instructions that, when executed by a telecommunications system, cause the telecommunications system to perform steps, the steps comprising:
at an Xx/Xn gateway for communicating with, and coupled to, a first and a second radio access network (RAN), receiving messages from the first RAN according to a first Xx/Xn protocol and mapping the received messages to a second Xx/Xn protocol for transmission to the second RAN, wherein at least one of the first RAN and the second RAN comprise a 5G RAN;
maintaining operational state of at least one of the first RAN or the second RAN at the Xx/Xn gateway;
executing, at an interpreter at the Xx/Xn gateway, an executable payload received as part of the received messages;
updating the maintained operational state of the first RAN or the second RAN at the Xx/Xn gateway based on an effect of the executable payload; and
interworking, at the Xx/Xn gateway, the first Xx/Xn message from the first Xx/Xn protocol to the second Xx/Xn protocol and associating the first Xx/Xn protocol with the first RAN and the second Xx/Xn protocol with the second RAN, based on a list of supported Xx/Xn protocol versions for the first RAN and the second RAN, wherein at least one of the supported Xx/Xn protocol versions is a list of supported individual information elements (IEs) and protocol commands, or an Xx/Xn protocol version number.
