Abstract
This disclosure provides a method in a cellular telecommunications network, the cellular telecommunications network having a first central base station unit connecting to a first distributed base station unit, the method including the first central base station unit communicating with the first distributed base station unit using a first functional split in which a first set of protocol functions are implemented by the first central base station unit and a second set of protocol functions are implemented by the first distributed base station unit; determining that a processing resource utilization of at least one of the first central base station unit and first distributed base station unit using the first functional split satisfies a processing threshold; and, in response, causing the first central base station unit and first distributed base station unit to communicate using a second functional split in which a third set of protocol functions are implemented by the first central base station unit and a fourth set of protocol functions are implemented by the first distributed base station unit.
