Abstract: A broker network may be configured to serve as an intermediary between one or more radio providers and one or more mobile service providers for reservation of remote radio units (RRUs) for use in a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) environment. The broker network may receive, from a mobile network, a message indicating a request for identification of RRUs of at least one radio provider. The broker network may send, to the mobile network, one or more messages including a plurality of identifiers which identify a plurality of RRUs, and a geographic location and capabilities associated with each RRU. After receiving a selection of an RRU, the broker network may send to the RRU a message which triggers communication with a virtualized Distributed Unit (vDU) for a remote configuration of parameters in the selected RRU, so that it may be used to facilitate communication with UEs in the mobile network.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to derive Virtual Network Function (VNF) infrastructure and networking requirements from the virtual network function descriptor and network services descriptor definitions (extended). This results in a fully automated system for VIM creation and VNF onboarding in order to prepare the infrastructure for VNF instantiation.
