Abstract
Presented herein are techniques to facilitate the configuration of hybrid cells to support shared cell and unique cell operating modes for user equipment. In one example, a method may include obtaining a registration request for a user equipment (UE) in which the mobile network includes a radio access network (RAN) comprising a plurality of radio units (RUs) in which each RU provides a shared cell that is shared with at least one other RU and each RU also provides a unique cell that is not shared with any other RU. The method may further include determining an operating mode for the UE in which the operating mode indicates whether the UE is to operate in a shared cell or a unique cell operating mode, and facilitating connection of the UE to one of the shared cell or the unique cell of an RU based on the operating mode.
