Abstract

A system described herein may receive traffic from a User Equipment ('UE') via a radio unit (“RU”), may identify one or more attributes of the traffic, and may select a first Central Unit (“CU”), from a group of CUs that includes the first CU and a second CU, based on the one or more attributes of the traffic. The one or more attributes may include a network slice. The device may further route the traffic to the selected first CU, wherein the CU aggregates received traffic and routes the aggregated traffic to a user plane gateway. The device may include a Distributed Unit (“DU”) of a radio access network (“RAN”) that includes the first and second CUs. The first and second CUs may include a first CU-User Plane (“CU-UP”) and a second CU-UP. The DU and the CUs may be configured by a CU-Control Plane (“CU-CP”) of the RAN.
