Abstract
In a wireless communication system, Distributed Units (DUs) wirelessly receive test data from wireless access points and transfer the test data to a Central Unit (CU). The CU receives the test data from the DUs and estimates data throughputs for combinations of the DUs and the wireless access points based on the test data. The CU selects some of the combinations of the DUs and the wireless access points based on the estimated data throughputs. The CU exchanges user data with the user communication devices and exchanges the user data with the DUs in the selected combinations of the DUs and the wireless access points. The DUs in the selected combinations of the DUs and the wireless access points exchange the user data with the CU and wirelessly exchange the user data with the wireless access points in the selected combinations of the DUs and the wireless access points.
