Abstract

A Central Unit-Control Plane (CU-CP) of a radio access network (RAN) node can operate in a communication network to dynamically schedule user-plane (UP) communications. The CU-CP can be communicatively coupled to a Distributed Unit (DU) and a Central Unit-User-Plane (CU-UP) of the RAN node. The CU-CP can provide indication of one or more available UP paths to at least one network element. The at least one network element can include one or more of: a user equipment, UE; the CU-UP of the RAN node; and/or the DU of the RAN node. The CU-CP can provide indication of a scheduling strategy for data transmissions to the at least one network element.
