Abstract
A method for wireless communication includes transmitting at least first and second uplink signals by a UE to first and second virtualized radio units, respectively. The first and second uplink signals are processed by one or more virtual machines shared by both the first and second radio units. The UE switches connection from the first virtualized radio unit to the second virtualized radio unit without a transfer of context information from the first virtualized radio unit to the second virtualized radio unit. A first virtual machine implements at least one of a lower physical layer (PHY-Low), an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver. A second virtual machine implements at least one of a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and a higher physical (PHY-high) layer.
