In this paper we consider global and non-global radial solutions of the\nfocusing energy--critical wave equation on \ℝ \× \ℝN\nwhere N \≥ 5 is odd. We prove that if the solution remains bounded in the\nenergy space as you approach the maximal forward time of existence, then along\na sequence of times converging to the maximal forward time of existence, the\nsolution decouples into a sum of dynamically rescaled solitons, a free\nradiation term, and an error tending to zero in the energy space. If, in\naddition, we assume a bound on the evolution that rules out formation of\nmultiple solitons, then this decoupling holds for all times approaching the\nmaximal forward time of existence.\n
