Carrier power boost by dynamic logical sectorization

A system to facilitate dynamically reconfiguring a radio unit (RU) coupled to a cellular site of a cellular network, the system comprising:

• one or more processing devices;
• and
• memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• initially deploying the RU with a default configuration having a plurality of radio frequency (RF) paths coupling the RU to a multi-port antenna that serves a particular sector of a cell;
• and
• upon detecting increased demand for capacity within the particular sector, reconfiguring the RU by splitting the RU into a plurality of logical sub-sectors, each logical sub-sector of the RU having a respective subset of the plurality of RF paths coupled to a respective subset of ports of the multi-port antenna.
