Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for dynamically adjusting associations between radio units (RUs) and a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) by a virtual translational layer running in a controller of the vRAN. Each of the RUs have a number of antennas and are configured to service a cell of a cellular communications network. Based on performance metrics, the virtual translational layer maps the RUs to a virtualized cell of the cellular communications network, the virtualized cell including a mapped selection of the RUs.
