1. A communication system, comprising:
a central cloud server that comprises a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
gradually decrease a gain of an active path, which corresponds to a primary communication path between a radio access network (RAN) node and one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first set of edge devices of a plurality of edge devices, until the active path becomes dormant;
gradually increase a gain of a dormant path, which corresponds to a secondary communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via a second set of edge devices of the plurality of edge devices, until the dormant path becomes active; and
cause at least one edge device of the second set of edge devices to transmit one or more beams of radio frequency (RF) signals in one or more specific directions towards one or more new neighboring nodes in order to establish the secondary communication path, wherein the secondary communication path is used as a backup communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via the second set of edge devices, and wherein the second set of edge devices is different from the first set of edge devices.
