Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a radio frequency (RF) virtualization system are disclosed. One system includes a plurality of radios, an abstraction layer network, and a controller. The controller operates to receive a standard set of interfaces and capabilities from a plurality of radios through the abstraction layer network, wherein the abstraction layer provides an interface to connect the radio access technology to a corresponding one of the plurality of radios, receive a request from the radio access technology for a radio of the plurality of radios, and allocate and connect a one of a plurality of radios that satisfies specifications of the request of the radio access technology, wherein the one of the plurality of radios that is allocated and connected to the radio access technology changes over time.
