A mapper includes circuitry configured to receive data streams each or which is a stream of data based on a calendar function associated with one of Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) or Metro Transport Networking (MTN); and circuitry configured to perform mapping of each of the data streams and to provide an output of the mapping to a device in a wireless data plane for transmission over one or more wireless links. The mapping can include packet mapping where the stream of blocks is encapsulated into packets. The mapping can include byte mapping where the stream of blocks is converted into a byte stream that is provided to a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer that guarantees byte delivery in order at a receiver. The mapping can also include bit mapping wherein the stream of blocks is transferred as a stream of bits to a transport buffer Service Access Point (SAP).
