?? High-Level Architecture of O-RAN :
?? Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) Framework:
Manages and orchestrates the RAN components.
Interfaces with external systems for data enrichment.
?? O-Cloud:
Cloud infrastructure that hosts RAN functions and services.
Sends notifications regarding the status and health of O-RAN components.
?? O-RAN Network Functions:
Performs specific tasks within the RAN, such as controlling radio resources and managing connections.
?? Near-Real Time RIC (RAN Intelligent Controller):
Aims to optimize RAN performance by making decisions in near-real-time.
?? O-RU (O-RAN Radio Unit):
Hardware that transmits and receives radio waves.
Integral part of the O-RAN front-haul.
?? Non-Real Time RIC:
Handles RAN optimization and policy guidance but not in real-time.
?? NG-Core:
Core network element in the 5G architecture.
Interacts with the RAN for overall network management and efficiency.
?? Interfaces:
A1: Interface between non-RT RIC and near-RT RIC.
O1: Interface between the SMO and O-RAN network functions.
O2: Interface for the management of cloud resources.
Y1: Interface connecting NG-Core with its consumers and SMO for data exchange.
