1. A radio access network comprising:
a plurality of radio points that wirelessly transmit to and receive signals from a plurality of wireless subscriber devices; and
a baseband controller coupled to a network, wherein the baseband controller assigns a plurality of radio resources to the plurality of radio points, and the plurality of radio resources are used to wirelessly transmit and receive signals between the plurality of radio points and the plurality of wireless subscriber devices,
wherein the baseband controller communicates with the plurality of radio points through the network, and
wherein the baseband controller obtains data capacity information for different portions of the network and configures one or more communication cells in the different portions of the network based at least in part on the data capacity information in response to changes in data capacity needs, wherein the one or more communication cells are configured by changing a number of the plurality of radio points assigned to the one or more communication cells.
