RIC: A RAN Intelligent Controller Platform for AI-Enabled Cellular Networks

With the emergence of 5G, network densification, and richer and more demanding applications, the radio access network (RAN)—a key component of the cellular network infrastructure—will become increasingly complex. To tackle this complexity, it is critical for the RAN to be able to automate the process of deploying, optimizing, and operating while leveraging novel data-driven technologies to ultimat...
