DATA-CENTRIC SERVICE-BASED NETWORK ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18399314 titled 'DATA-CENTRIC SERVICE-BASED NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

Simplified Explanation

The data-centric network architecture and non-Real-Time RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC) described in the patent application provide a shared database for control functions, user functions, and management functions in a network. The non-RT RIC manages functions via rApps, performs conflict mitigation and security functions, monitors machine learning performance, and provides a ML model catalog.

  • Data-centric network architecture with data plane functions serving as a shared database for control, user, and management functions.
  • Non-RT RIC managing functions via rApps, performing conflict mitigation, security functions, and monitoring machine learning performance.
  • ML training host training and evaluating ML models, obtaining data from the database, and retraining ML models.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks, specifically in the management and optimization of data plane resources.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing and optimizing data plane resources in a network, improving overall network performance and reliability.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

A data-centric network and non-Real-Time (RT) RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC) architecture are described. The data-centric network architecture provides data plane functions (DPFs) that serve as a shared database for control functions, user functions and management functions for data plane resources in a network. The DPFs interact with control plane functions, user plane functions, management plane functions, compute plane functions, network exposure functions, and application functions of the NR network via a service interface. The non-RT RIC provides functions via rApps, manages the rApps, performs conflict mitigation and security functions, monitors machine learning (ML) performance, provides a ML model catalog that contains ML model information, provides interface terminations and stores ML data and Near-RT RIC related information in a database. An ML training host trains and evaluates ML models in the catalog, obtains training and testing data from the database, and retrains and updates the ML models.
