The Non-RealTime RIC (RAN Intelligent Controller) is an Orchestration and Automation function described by the O-RAN Alliance for non-real-time intelligent management of RAN (Radio Access Network) functions. The primary goal of the NONRTRIC is to support non-real-time radio resource management, higher layer procedure optimization, policy optimization in RAN, and providing guidance, parameters, policies and AI/ML models to support the operation of near-RealTime RIC functions in the RAN to achieve higher-level non-real-time objectives. NONRTRIC functions include service and policy management, RAN analytics and model-training for the near-RealTime RICs. The non-RealTime RIC project provides concepts, specifications, architecture and reference implementations as defined and described by the O-RAN Alliance architecture.
The NONRTRIC implementation will communicate with near-RealTime RIC elements in the RAN via the A1 interface. Using the A1 interface the NONRTRIC will facilitate the provision of policies for individual UEs or groups of UEs; monitor and provide basic feedback on policy state from near-RealTime RICs; provide enrichment information as required by near-RealTime RICs; and facilitate ML model training, distribution and inference in cooperation with the near-RealTime RICs.
As shown in the Component Architecture diagram below, the NONRTRIC exists within the ONAP eco-system, leveraging existing infrastructure to support non-realtime control of the RAN (Radio Access Network).
All implementations will be demonstrated in open community labs to prove functionalities and to give feedback to the O-RAN working groups.
Functional view of OSC NONRTRIC
The figure above shows a functional view of the Non-RealTime-RIC function in OSC. Many of the functions will be supported by the underlying SMO platform.
Functional view of OSC NONRTRIC - Latest available functionality
The figure above shows the latest released functionality for the Non-RealTime-RIC function in OSC (Amber+ Release & ONAP Frankfurt).
For more information see out Bronze Release Developers Guide
Integration into ONAP
In the meeting from 2019-08-12 we clarified the expected integration of ONAP and OSC OAM/NONRTRIC functionality. Note the O1 and A1 interfaces and protocols.
Mailing list
- We use the common O-RAN SC mailing list "main": main@lists.o-ran-sc.org to. We will create a new 'hashtag' if necessary.
