Abstract

Aspects herein provides a system that utilizes a virtualization layer at a distribution unit or central unit in a network. The virtualization layer includes a plurality of virtual resource blocks that are pooled together as a resource for both a public portion of the network and one or more private portions of the network. Based on loading monitoring of the different portions of the network, the plurality of virtual resource blocks in the pool can be dynamically reallocated between the public and private networks to accommodate and optimize loading. The plurality of virtual resource blocks are mapped to physical resource blocks for scheduling and utilization based on the reallocation.
