Abstract:
In 5G proposals, functionality of the BBU is disaggregated into a DU and a CU that handle BBU functionality according to different functional splits. A significant amount of cloud infrastructure is envisioned to be needed to implement several of the designated splits. An integrated device (e.g., white box) can integrate the functionality of multiple RRU (or NR in 5G) and the functionality of multiple BBU (or DU/CU splits in 5G). By performing a lightweight routing determination at the integrated device, requisite cloud infrastructure can be significantly reduced.

Claim (Index 17):
A method, comprising:\n receiving, by a device comprising a processor, an analog signal from a user equipment being provided a service; transforming, by the device, the analog signal to a digital signal; determining, by the device, latency data representative of an amount of latency tolerated by the service; and in response to a selection procedure that selects a target device, from among a group of computing devices, that is configured to instantiate a virtual machine and that is determined to satisfy the amount of latency tolerated by the service, determining, by the device, routing data that facilitates routing the digital signal to the target device configured to perform a computation in connection with the service.
