Described are examples for providing a distributed fault-tolerant state store for a virtualized base station. In an aspect, a first server at a datacenter may perform physical layer processing for at least one virtualized base station. While performing the physical layer processing, the first server may generate inter-slot physical layer state data during a first slot. The inter-slot physical layer state data is to be used in a subsequent slot.
