Abstract
In a wireless communication network, a Centralized Unit (CU) and Distributed Units (DUs) wirelessly communicate with Access Points (APs). The DUs wirelessly receive test signals from the APs and generate radio data. The CU receives the radio data from the DUs. The CU determines data throughputs for combinations of the DUs and the APs based on the radio data. The CU configured selects one of the combinations of the DUs and the APs based on the data throughputs. The CU exchanges user data with the DUs in the selected combination. The DUs in the selected combination wirelessly exchange the user data with the wireless network APs in the selected combination.
