Abstract
Based on the context of the original SESAME project research effort, in the present work we examined the implications of multi-tenancy upon the Radio Resources Management (RRM) and Self-x functions that support mobility control, as the latter is a fundamental functionality to ensure a seamless experience to the user equipments of the different operators when moving across the cells of a shared RAN (Radio Access Network) and when entering and leaving the shared infrastructure.

Notes
- 1.
ANR is also referred to as Network Listen (NWL). It is a process by which a cell scans its radio environment to discover neighbouring cells.
