A software system for managing O-RAN network functions through E2 reports and FCAPS data encapsulated in O1 messages for fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security monitoring.

Patentradars sammanfattning

This invention relates to the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture, specifically addressing network management and observability through standardized message protocols. The system encapsulates E2 reports (RAN Intelligence messaging) within O1 management plane messages, enabling communication between Near-RT RIC (Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller), O-CU-CP/UP (Central Unit Control/User Plane), and O-DU (Distributed Unit) components. FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security) data is transmitted via O1 or OFH M-Plane messages to the SMO (Service Management and Orchestration) and Non-RT RIC for AI/ML-based training and decision-making.
