Abstract
A method is performed by a distributed unit of a radio access network node having a split architecture. The method includes determining a status or error of the distributed unit. The DU sends, to a control unit of the radio access network node, an indication indicating the status or error of the distributed unit. The message indicates the status or error of the distributed unit for at least one cell served by the distributed unit and/or at least one functionality performed by the distributed unit. The distributed unit receives instructions from the control unit of the radio access network node, and the instructions are at least partially based on the indicated status or error.
