Title:
REAL-TIME RIC ARCHITECTURE FOR OPEN RAN NETWORKS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/191823
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A system for providing real-time services and functions in an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture, includes: a first physical configured to execute instructions to implement an O-RAN centralized unit (O-CU); at least one second physical node comprising configured to execute instructions to implement: an O-RAN distributed unit (O-DU), and a real-time (RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) connected to the O-DU via an interface terminating at the RT RIC and having a latency of less than 10 ms; an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU); at least one third physical node configured to execute instructions to implement a non-real-time (Non-RT) RIC; and at least one fourth physical node configured to execute instructions to implement a near-real-time (Near-RT) RIC wherein the RT RIC is a software platform configured to host applications for controlling at least the O-DU over a real-time control loop with a latency of less than 10 ms.
