Femtocells for wireless communication coverage

An apparatus for providing wireless communication coverage in a wireless environment, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• machine-readable instructions;
• and
• processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least:
• receive, by a first interface of a virtualized network function, first wireless data comprising a first identifier that identifies a first type of wireless base station in the wireless environment;
• convert, by the virtualized network function, the first identifier to a second identifier, the second identifier identifying a second type of wireless base station and at least one wireless base station of a plurality of wireless base stations in the wireless environment, the second type of wireless base station being different from the first type of wireless base station, the at least one wireless base station being a virtual wireless base station instantiated by the virtualized network function and configured to execute a set of functions to effectuate wireless communication in the wireless environment;
• and
• transmit, by a second interface of the virtualized network function, second wireless data to a network function associated with a wireless core network, the second wireless data comprising the second identifier and at least a portion of the first wireless data.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:

• receive, by a first interface of a virtualized network function, first wireless data comprising a first identifier that identifies a first type of wireless base station in the wireless environment;
• convert, by the virtualized network function, the first identifier to a second identifier, the second identifier identifying a second type of wireless base station and at least one wireless base station of a plurality of wireless base stations in the wireless environment, the second type of wireless base station being different from the first type of wireless base station, the at least one wireless base station being a virtual wireless base station instantiated by the virtualized network function and configured to execute a set of functions to effectuate wireless communication in the wireless environment;
• and
• transmit, by a second interface of the virtualized network function, second wireless data to a network function associated with a wireless core network, the second wireless data comprising the second identifier and at least a portion of the first wireless data.
