Abstract:
A radio network equipment central unit (20, 1700) receives a message (15) that indicates an update to a transport layer address of a radio network equipment distributed unit (10, 1600) from an old transport layer address (12A) to a new transport layer address (12B). The message (15) indicates the old transport layer address (12A) and indicates the new transport layer address (12B). The message (15) may be received from the radio network equipment distributed unit (10, 1600), or from a distributed unit of an integrated access backhaul donor. Regardless, for each of multiple user plane bearers or transport layer tunnels that are associated with the old transport layer address (12A), the radio network equipment central unit (20, 1700) may update a transport layer address of that bearer or tunnel from the old transport layer address (12A) to the new transport layer address (12B).
