This paper proposes a heuristic suitable for BBU functions allocation and evaluates the impact of dynamic resource management in these environments facilitated through Virtual Machine (VM) live migration. The benefits associated with VM migration are quantified through a series of experiments. Our results show notable improvement in terms of resource and energy efficiency. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.10 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200686/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200686/file/484327_1_En_10_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03200686 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200686 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-11616 %~ IFIP-ONDM %~ IFIP-WG6-10
