Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer-readable media associated with F1 interface arrangement configuration within a network that implements virtualized NodeBs are disclosed herein. In embodiments, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by one or more processors, cause a centralized unit (CU) of an access node to generate a CU configuration update message, the CU configuration update message to include an indication of a transport network layer (TNL) address of the CU for which a TNL association between the CU and a distributed unit (DU) of the access node is to be added or removed, and cause the CU configuration update message to be transmitted to the DU. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
