ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROCESSING MASSIVE DATA IN OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962400 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROCESSING MASSIVE DATA IN OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that functions as a Radio Access Network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) in an Open RAN (O-RAN) system. The device includes a communication interface and a processor. The processor is responsible for managing connectivity between applications and RAN nodes, detecting application overload, generating a duplicate application, updating the routing table to include connectivity to the duplicate application, and controlling message forwarding based on the updated routing table.
- An electronic device acts as a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) in an Open RAN (O-RAN) system.
- The device includes a communication interface and a processor.
- The communication interface supports an E2 interface for communication with RAN nodes.
- The processor stores a routing table for managing connectivity between applications and RAN nodes.
- It can detect an overload of a specific application.
- It generates a duplicate application that performs the same function as the overloaded application.
- The routing table is updated to include connectivity between RAN nodes and the duplicate application.
- The device controls the communication interface to forward messages from RAN nodes to the original and duplicate applications based on the updated routing table.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device configured to operate as a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) in an open radio access network (O-RAN) is disclosed. The electronic device may include: a communication interface comprising communication circuitry configured to support an E2 interface, and a processor operatively coupled with the communication interface. The processor may be configured to: store a routing table for managing connectivity between a first application and a plurality of RAN nodes configured to communicate with the RIC over the E2 interface, detect an overload of the first application, generate a second application configured to execute a same function as the first application, update the routing table to include connectivity between at least one of the plurality of RAN nodes and the second application, and control the communication interface to forward messages from the plurality of RAN nodes to the first application and the second application based on the updated routing table.
