This white paper provides a technical discussion on the integration complexity of the Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Non-RT RIC).
It describes a Proof of Concept (PoC) for non-real time RAN optimization in a multivendor environment to assess the technical integration complexity of the components delivered by different parties and the level of customization required.
Partners in this project completed a RAN closed-loop optimization PoC within Deutsche Telekom’s lab environment based on Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP) and O-RAN standards. Closed loop rApp algorithms were onboarded and deployed on partners’ Non-RT RIC.
The white paper provides a detailed outline of the integration challenges, as well as customizations and future standardization requirements.
