Abstract
Described are examples for repurposing mobility management with virtual radio in software radio access networks. A virtual mobile network includes a first server configured to host a first mobile network distributed unit (DU) for providing a first virtual cell to a plurality of user devices via a radio unit. The virtual mobile network also includes a second server configured to host a second mobile network distributed unit providing a second virtual cell via the same radio unit. A radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) is configured to control the first DU and the second DU to hand over the plurality of user devices from the first virtual cell to the second virtual cell. The first server may then be shut down for maintenance or updates without dropping service to the user devices.
