Abstract
A method for dynamically allocating radio resources across a set of virtualized radio access points (vRAPs) in a virtual radio access network (vRAN) includes collecting contextual information across all vRAPs that share a common carrier bandwidth of a physical radio access point. The method also includes mapping, by a radio resource controller according to an internal mapping policy, the contextual information of the vRAPs into an allocation of vRAN slices to the vRAPs, wherein each vRAN slice comprises allocated computing resources and an allocated bandwidth part (BWP) of the common carrier bandwidth, the BWPs being orthogonal across the vRAN slices. The method also includes notifying the vRAPs of the allocated BWP.
