Coordinated control of a radio access network for link reliability and methods for use therewith

A network general controller for use with a radio access network (RAN), the network general controller comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store operational instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations that include:
• determining RAN conditions associated with the RAN, the RAN having a plurality of radio units (RUs), distributed units (DUs) and centralized units (CUs) that facilitate communication with user equipment (UEs) via a plurality of resource block sets (RBS);
• determining a plurality of UE performance metrics corresponding to the UEs;
• generating, based on the RAN conditions and based on the performance metrics corresponding to the UEs, selections of a plurality of RAN-Sets (RANS) from the plurality of RUs, DUs and CUs and a UE-RBS-RANS allocation that configures the communication with the UEs via redundant links based on the selections of the RANS and based on a multiplexed sequence of RBS of the plurality of RBS;
• and
• facilitating, via at least one network interface, communication with the UEs in accordance with the UE-RBS-RANS allocation.
