Abstract

A method for managing a virtual radio access network which serves a radio cell is provided. The method includes selecting, based on a radio access technology of the radio cell, a construction scheme for the virtual radio access network in a repository. Further, the method includes querying, from the repository, at least one software component associated to the construction scheme. The software component represents a virtualized network function of the virtual radio access network. The method additionally includes setting up, using the software component, the virtualized network function on a runtime platform according to the construction scheme.
