Embodiments of apparatus and method for data plane management are disclosed. In one example, an apparatus for communication both uplink and downlink can include a plurality of downlink clusters, each downlink cluster including a downlink cluster processor configured to process three or more downlink data layers. The apparatus can also include a plurality of uplink clusters, each uplink cluster including an uplink cluster processor configured to process three or more uplink data layers. The apparatus can further include a controller configured to scale the plurality of downlink clusters and configured to scale the plurality of uplink clusters. Scaling the plurality of downlink clusters and the plurality of uplink clusters can include activating or deactivating one or more clusters of the plurality of downlink clusters, the plurality of uplink clusters, or both the plurality of downlink clusters and the plurality of uplink clusters.
