Thanks for the article. Is the PDCP supposed to be a layer 2 function in figure 2?

Excellent article. Lucid, crisp and to the point. Satisfying learning experience on 3GPP functional splits.

In reply to Behnam. Hi Behnam, the standards provide flexibility how the splits can be implemented by different vendors. In reality, many of the CU/DU vendors cover multiple split options inside their software.

Is there any standardization reference supporting/discussing multiple splits per unit (e.g., DU unit)?

Good article Olli – catch the important points in a neutral and simple way. Typo here though ‘The fronthaul network demands of functional split 8 are, however, much simpler because’ – should be option 1?
