Abstract

A system described herein may serve as an interface between one or more radio units (“RUs”) of a wireless network and one or more Distributed Units (“DUs”) of the RAN. The system may maintain information associating a set of RUs with a particular DU. The system may determine that a particular RU of the set of RUs should be disassociated from the particular DU, such as based on load metrics associated with the particular DU exceeding one or more thresholds. The system may disassociate the particular RU from the particular DU by modifying the information associating the set of RUs with the particular DU. The modified may indicate that the particular RU is no longer associated with the particular DU. The system may accordingly facilitate communications between the modified set of RUs, not including the particular RU, and the particular DU.
