Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards location selection for disaggregated radio access network (RAN) network functions. Disaggregated RAN network functions include, for example, RAN distributed units (DUs) and RAN central units (CUs) that are associated with RAN cells and RAN radio units (RUs). When multiple viable equipment locations are available, of equipment that can host DUs and/or CUs, the disclosed techniques can be used to select preferred location(s). The DU(s) and/or the CU(s) can be moved to equipment at the selected location(s) to improve network performance. Disclosed techniques can account for inter-cell delay requirements of different RAN cells, to place network functions in a manner that supports effective coordination between multiple cells.
