Abstract
A method of managing Radio Access Network (RAN) processing within a data center of a centralized radio access network (CRAN), wherein the data center comprises a plurality of compute resources that perform at least part of the RAN processing of a plurality of connected remote radio access points, includes assigning, to packets from the plurality of remote radio access points, an identification information that originates from the RAN; deciding, by schedulers based on a scheduling algorithm, on which of the compute resources processing of the packets is to take place; and using the identification information to route the packets within the data center. The compute resources are implicitly addressed through the identification information.
