1. A distributed unit node of a wireless communications network, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining custom signal data, wherein the custom signal data comprises at least one of: symbol data, resource block data, resource element data, modulation and coding scheme data, load data, or blanked data;
selecting, from a resource block allocation data structure comprising scheduled communications of a radio unit, a group of unscheduled locations; and
injecting the custom signal data into the group of unscheduled locations for use by the radio unit in performing operations based on the custom signal data, wherein the injecting of the custom signal data into the group of unscheduled locations comprises scheduling the custom signal data via at least one user-plane communication with the radio unit, and communicating timing and synchronization message data via at least one control-plane communication with the radio unit.
