Abstract
A fifth generation (5G) mobile network radio access network (RAN) is virtualized for operations on edge computing platforms in a cloud-computing environment in which radio units (RUs) and radio frequency (RF) spectrum are shared among distributed units (DUs) to support use cases including: 1) live migration in which a DU is moved from one computing server to another without disruption to network traffic, and 2) RAN sharing in which two DUs share the same RU and spectrum.
