Abstract
A method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer program product for resource isolation in wireless communication systems. A communication network in a plurality of communication networks of a wireless communications system is identified. Each communication network in the plurality of communication networks has one or more communication components logically isolated from one or more communication components of another communication network in the plurality of communication networks. The identified communication network is selected for transmission of data associated with a user device. Data associated with the user device is transmitted using the identified communication network.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a communication network in a plurality of communication networks of a wireless communications system, each communication network in the plurality of communication networks having one or more communication components logically isolated from one or more communication components of another communication network in the plurality of communication networks;
- selecting the identified communication network for transmission of data associated with a user device;
- and
- transmitting, using the identified communication network, data associated with the user device;
- wherein at least one of the identifying, the selecting and the transmitting is performed by a base station;
- the base station includes at least one of the following communication components:
- one or more remote radio units, one or more centralized units, one or more distributed units, one or more control plane portions of the one or more centralized units, and one or more user plane portions of the one or more centralized units;
- a core network includes one or more access and mobility functions, one or more user plane functions, and one or more session management functions;
- at least one of the one or more user plane portions of the one or more centralized units, the one or more access and mobility functions, the one or more user plane functions, and the one or more session management functions of one communication network in the plurality of communication networks are logically isolated from at least one of one or more user plane portions of the one or more centralized units, one or more access and mobility functions, one or more user plane functions, and one or more session management functions of another communication network in the plurality of communication networks;
- one or more remote radio units, one or more distributed units, and one or more control plane portions of the one or more centralized units are common to all communication networks in the plurality of communication networks;
- and
- the transmitting includes transmitting, using one or more communication networks, data associated with the user device.
