A system that facilitates monitoring communication between a network node device and a communication device, wherein information is communicated by utilizing a first distribution unit (DU) node device comprising a first medium access control (MAC) layer component of the network node device and receiving condition information representative of a condition, wherein the condition indicates whether to add a second DU node device comprising a second MAC layer component to be utilized by the communication device. In response to determining that the condition indicates addition of the second DU node device, facilitating establishing a connection between the first MAC layer component of the first DU node device and the second MAC layer component of the second DU node device using a MAC interface and facilitating communication of control plane information and user plane information between the first MAC layer component and the second MAC layer component using the MAC interface.
