Abstract
A system described herein may provide a technique for the assignment of Centralized Units ('CUs') to Distributed Units ('DUs') in a radio access network ('RAN') that includes a distributed or hierarchical arrangement of network infrastructure equipment. Different groups of DUs may be modeled based on usage or traffic patterns, and complementary groups of DUs may be identified based on measures of usage that may vary with time. For example, one model associated with one group of DUs may experience relatively heavy usage during morning hours and light usage during evening hours, and another model associated with a complementary group of DUs may experience relatively light usage during morning hours and heavy usage during evening hours.
