CU DU resource allocation

5G NR

Hello,

I am not expert on n/w side. So I have one basic question related to CU-DU split.

In the initial 5g specs, when the split was proposed within the gNB, is the physical resources allocated to the gNB are shared among the DUs of that gNB. Or each DU is seen as separate cell (with separate sync and PBCH ?)

Coming to Release 16, I am trying to understand this architecture in IAB.

Thanks a lot for all the help in advance for the network side specialists.
