Non-RT RIC

Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller

Management plane platform executing AI/ML models (rApps) with policy loops operating at greater than 1 second.

Technical Explanation

The Non-RT RIC resides inside the Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) framework. It runs rApps that analyze long-term performance telemetry, train machine learning models, and deliver policy guidance and AI models down to the Near-RT RIC across the open A1 interface.

Key Functions

  • Operates within Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) framework
  • Executes long-term (>1 second) AI/ML analytics, modeling, and policy guidance
  • Pushes policy intents and ML inference models to Near-RT RIC across A1 interface
