Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving first data from a first wireless device connected to a particular base station of a radio-based network via a first access technology;
receiving second data from a second wireless device connected to the particular base station of the radio-based network via a second access technology, wherein the first access technology and the second access technology use a different physical layer and a different media access control layer but use a network layer that is in common; and
processing the first data and the second data at the network layer in the radio-based network using a common processing element, wherein the common processing element performs a distributed unit (DU) network function both on the first data sent via the first access technology and the second data sent via the second access technology, wherein the common processing element that performs the DU network function is located in a provider substrate extension of a cloud provider network at an edge location.
