1. A virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) system for provisioning a virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) that is portable across a plurality of RAN hardware platforms, comprising:
a waveform development kit that defines at least one portable Radio Access Network (RAN) application into a form that is instantiated on a RAN hardware; and
a waveform execution environment that (i) monitors schedulable resources in real-time, and (ii) collects a plurality of statistics and monitors the plurality of statistics for network automation, wherein the waveform execution environment comprises:
a RAN hypervisor that virtualizes at least one attribute of a spectral resource required to provision the virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) that is portable across at least one hardware platform of the plurality of RAN hardware platforms in the RAN hardware based on a description of at least one hardware compute resource in the RAN hardware.
