Abstract: An infrastructure equipment forms a wireless access point of a wireless communications network and executes program code that performs a plurality of processes which form a protocol stack for providing, in combination with a radio equipment, a wireless access interface of the wireless communications network for transmitting data to or receiving data from one or more communications devices. The plurality of processes provide at least a physical, PHY, layer, a medium access control, MAC, layer, a radio link control, RLC layer, a scheduler and radio resource management for the wireless access interface which together form baseband functions. The infrastructure equipment is configured to transmit/encrypt and receive/decrypt packet data. An infrastructure equipment can be shared between two wireless communications networks, which may be controlled by different operators. One or more of the plurality of processes may also be encrypted.
