1. A communication system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
control switch from a primary communication path to a secondary communication path based on a presence of signal obstruction in the primary communication path, wherein
the control of the switch from the primary communication path to the secondary communication path is to maintain a continuity of service to at least one user equipment (UE) for uplink and downlink communication,
the primary communication path is between a radio access network (RAN) node and the at least one UE via a first set of edge devices, and
the secondary communication path is between the RAN and the at least one UE via a second set of edge devices;
decrease a gain of an active path, which corresponds to the primary communication path, until the active path is dormant, wherein the decrease in the gain of the active path is based on the control of the switch from the primary communication path to the secondary communication path; and
increase a gain of a dormant path, which corresponds to the secondary communication path, until the dormant path is active, wherein the increase in the gain of the dormant path is based on the control of the switch from the primary communication path to the secondary communication path.
