Baseband Unit Fundamental for Communication Signal Processing

Virtualized baseband solutions make use of virtualization technology to untether baseband functions from hardware. Rather than using traditional bound-specific hardware baseband units, virtualized baseband software can operate on general purpose servers. This aids in flexibility as operators can scale resources up or down depending on demand. It also allows for multi-tenant operation, where multiple operators share the same physical infrastructure. For instance, in a cloud-based virtualized environment, mobile network operators can independently manage their baseband resources which helps cut infrastructure costs and improves resource utilization.
