Abstract
A method for determining an optimal functional split for a radio access network (RAN), includes: obtaining network data relating to performance of RAN elements configured with a current functional split; analyzing, by a machine learning model, the obtained network data to determine an optimum functional split, from among a predetermined plurality of functional splits, for optimizing network performance under current network conditions; and outputting the determined optimum functional split for configuring the RAN elements.
