A1 POLICY FUNCTIONS FOR OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (O-RAN) SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214272 titled 'A1 POLICY FUNCTIONS FOR OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (O-RAN) SYSTEMS
The present invention involves an apparatus with memory to store policy statement information for multiple radio access network (RAN) automation applications (RAPPs) and processing circuitry to manage conflicts and modifications.
- Memory stores policy statement information for RAPPs
- Processing circuitry retrieves and analyzes policy scope identifiers for RAPPs
- Identifies conflicts between common or overlapping policy scope identifiers
- Modifies policies associated with RIC interfaces to resolve conflicts
- Notifies RAPPs of policy modifications
Potential Applications: - Network automation in telecommunications - Policy management in radio access networks - Conflict resolution in RAN automation applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of policy conflicts in RAN automation - Streamlining policy modifications for multiple applications - Enhancing communication between RIC interfaces and RAPPs
Benefits: - Improved network efficiency and performance - Enhanced automation capabilities in telecommunications - Streamlined policy management processes
