Abstract
The systems and methods relate to virtual radio access networks (vRANs). The systems and methods may offload a signal processing task of a physical layer from a vRAN server located at the far edge of a network nearby a base station to a remote location further away from the base station. The remote location may include higher level edge deployments of servers or a cloud deployment of servers. The system and methods may scale the vRAN server capacity by offloading the signal processing task to the remote location without compromising quality of service requirements or latency requirements of the user equipment or the applications.
