移动通信网络体系结构开发中的最新发展步骤也将虚拟化和切片的概念引入了整个基础设施的无线电接入网络(RAN)部分。这一趋势使RAN比以往任何时候都更加灵活，促进了远远超出传统基础设施和商业移动网络运营商(MNO)之间的RAN共享方案的资源共享概念。本文介绍了用于研究的泛欧洲移动网络运营商的EuWireless概念，并提出了EuWireless运营商的基础设施、商业MNO和欧洲各地的研究机构之间的RAN切片和网络资源共享的愿景。EuWireless的方法是将当地小规模研究试验台的实验技术与授权频谱等商业MNO资源相结合，向欧洲移动网络研究人员提供虚拟大规模试验台，即EuWireless实验片。组合的资源通过基于互连的本地安装的分布式EuWireless架构进行配置和管理，即所谓的入网点(POP)。
The most recent evolutionary steps in the development of mobile communication network architectures have introduced the concepts of virtualisation and slicing also into the Radio Access Network (RAN) part of the overall infrastructure. This trend has made RANs more flexible than ever before, facilitating resource sharing concepts which go far beyond the traditional infrastructure and RAN sharing schemes between commercial Mobile Network Operators (MNO). This paper introduces the EuWireless concept for a pan-European mobile network operator for research and presents its vision for RAN slicing and network resource sharing between the infrastructures of the EuWireless operator, commercial MNOs and research organisations around Europe. The EuWireless approach is to offer virtual large-scale testbeds, i.e., EuWireless experimentation slices, to European mobile network researchers by combining the experimental technologies from the local small-scale research testbeds with the commercial MNO resources such as licensed spectrum. The combined resources are configured and managed through the distributed EuWireless architecture based on inter-connected local installations, so-called Points of Presences (PoP).
