E Feature Scope / Achievements:

• TODO

• The primary goal of Non-RT RIC is to support intelligent RAN optimization by providing policy-based guidance, ML model management and enrichment information to the near-RT RIC function so that the RAN can optimize, e.g., RRM under certain conditions.
• It can also perform intelligent radio resource management function in non-real-time interval (i.e., greater than 1 second).
• Non-RT RIC can use data analytics and AI/ML training/inference to determine the RAN optimization actions for which it can leverage SMO services such as data collection and provisioning services of the O-RAN nodes.
• Non-RT-RIC will define and coordinate rApps (Non-RT-RIC applications) to perform Non-RT-RIC tasks.
• Non-RT-RIC will host the A1 interface (between NONRTRIC & near-RT RICs )
• Non-RT-RIC will also host the new R1 interface (between rApps and SMO/NONRTRIC services)
