Claim 13:
14. A system configured to couple a radio to a virtual baseband unit, comprising:
first circuitry configured to:
at least one of: perform at least one of discrete Fourier transformation and data weighting on user plane data in an uplink path, and perform at least one of inverse Fourier transformation and the data weighting on the user plane data in a downlink path; and
at least one of: convert data in at least one of a user plane, a control plane, a synchronization plane, and a management plane in the downlink path to data in a first input/output (I/O) data protocol, and convert data in the first I/O data protocol in the uplink path into the data in the at least one of the user plane, the control plane, the synchronization plane, and the management plane; and

second circuitry, communicatively coupled to the first circuitry, configured to at least one of:
at least one of: determine characteristics of the radio and receive the characteristics of the radio, wherein the radio uses the first I/O data protocol and a first message protocol;
select at least one translation library corresponding to the at least one of determined characteristics of the radio and the received characteristics of the radio, wherein a base station comprises the radio and the virtual baseband unit;
generate configuration parameters that describe capabilities of the radio, and transmit such configuration parameters to the virtual baseband unit using a second I/O data protocol and a second message protocol, wherein the first I/O data protocol and the second I/O data protocol are incompatible;
convert at least one of: (a) baseband data, in an uplink path, in the at least one of the user plane, the control plane, the synchronization plane, and the management plane into the second I/O data protocol used by the virtual baseband unit, and (b) baseband data, in the downlink path, in the second I/O data protocol into the data, in at least one of: the user plane, the control plane, the synchronization plane, and the management plane, in the first I/O protocol; and
convert using the selected at least one translation library at least one of: a message in the first message protocol, transmitted from the radio to the virtual baseband unit, to the second message protocol, and a message in the second message protocol, transmitted from the virtual baseband unit to the radio, to the first message protocol, wherein the first message protocol and the second message protocol are incompatible.
