1. A combined centralized and distributed unit (CCDU) system, said system comprising:
a single integrated board, the single integrated board further comprising:
a network enabled controller;
a clock synchronizer module;
a radio unit (RU) communicatively coupled to a network;
a centralized unit (CU) configured to perform functionalities associated with higher layers of a network protocol stack;
a distributed unit (DU) configured to perform functionalities associated with lower layers of the protocol stack;
a processing unit, operatively coupled to a memory, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processing unit causes the system to:
perform a set of functionalities associated with the CU and the DU, wherein the network enabled controller, and the clock synchronizer module, provide control and synchronizing signals respectively, to the processing unit such that the CU and the DU functions from the single integrated board and communicates with the radio unit as a single CCDU unit.
