论文摘要
虚拟化是云无线电访问网络（C-RAN）的关键功能。它可以帮助节省成本，因为它允许使用虚拟化基站，而不是在不同区域进行物理部署。但是，虚拟基站池的创建和管理并不是微不足道的，并为C-RAN部署带来了新的挑战。本文报告了一种协调和管理基于容器的C-RAN的方法。我们使用了在Docker容器上运行的OpenAirInterface软件的几个实例，并使用Kubernetes策划了它们。我们证明，使用kubernetes可以根据网络的要求和参数（例如服务器资源的使用）动态扩展远程无线电头（RRHS）和基带单元（BBU）。
Virtualization is a key feature in Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN). It can help to save costs since it allows the use of virtualized base stations instead of physically deployment in different areas. However, the creation and management of virtual base stations pools is not trivial and introduces new challenges to C-RAN deployment. This paper reports a method to orchestrate and manage a container-based C-RAN. We used several instances of the OpenAirInterface software running on Docker containers, and orchestrated them using Kubernetes. We demonstrate that using Kubernetes it is possible to dynamically scale remote radio heads (RRHs) and baseband units (BBUs) according to requirements of the network and parameters such as the server resources usage.
