Open RAN architecture: O-RAN ALLIANCE

“

Have you ever lost the mobile services in a crowded mall or stadium? That is a frustrating experience and that is what exactly the Open RAN self-learning networks are designed to fix. There are two key components which are the intelligent controllers incorporated in Open RAN. The first one is a near real-time grick which acts like a Formula One pit crew for your network. It makes lightning-fast decisions in under one second to handle critical situations. On the other side, we have a known real-time RIC, which works more like a chess master, planning several moves ahead. Operating from cloud data centers, it handles long-term optimization, like scheduling energy-saving modes overnight and predicting equipment failures before they happen. Now, these two key systems work together to keep networks running efficiently and intelligently in Open RAN. Also, Open RAN introduces an exciting new concept where the third-party developers can now create specialized AI apps for networks. Imagine a…
