Abstract

A method of enabling a Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN)- compatible central unit (CU) to modify at least one dynamic Transport Network Layer Association (TNLA) in communication with a C-RAN-compatible distributed unit (DU) includes: generating, by the CU, a first TNLA distinct from an existing second TNLA; communicating, by the CU to the DU, assigned first and second weight factors associated with the first and second TNLAs, respectively, wherein i) the assigned first weight factor associated with the first TNLA indicates required selection, and ii) the assigned second weight factor for the second TNLA indicates required non-selection; establishing a new Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) connection towards a gNB-CU IP address associated with the first TNLA; and automatically selecting, by the DU, the first TNLA for any new UE requiring service. The method can be performed using one of F1-C interface, Xn-C interface and E1 interface.
