Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating an awareness module on a first near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) that controls a first domain. The first near-RT RIC identifies a second near-RT RIC that controls a second domain, which has a mutual impact on the first domain. The first near-RT RIC creates a first border state that represents attributes of the first near-RT RIC and the xApps of the first near-RT RIC. The first near-RT RIC receives from the second near-RT RIC, a second border state of the second near-RT RIC. The first near-RT RI generates, a policy for the first near-RT RIC and the second near-RT RIC by analyzing the first and second border states. The first near-RT RIC updates a parameter only if the policy allows a requesting xApp to update the parameter.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes collecting device information from at least a first device, and receiving, from the first device, a first request to attach to a first base station. In response to receiving the first request, it is determined whether a signal broadcasted from the first base station includes public land mobile network (PLMN) information of a first type of telecommunication signal. In response to a determination that the signal broadcasted from the first base station includes the PLMN information, a second request is sent to a core network to connect the first device to a node associated with the first type of telecommunication signal of the first base station. In response to receiving an indication that the first device is authorized to connect, a connection is allowed to be established between the first device and the node associated with the first type of telecommunication signal.

In embodiments, local telecommunication infrastructure providers (LTIPs) and/or telecommunications operators (telcos) perform planning and infrastructure deployment, and then lease available infrastructure to telecommunications operators on a micro-location level with a radio access network exchange that allows bidding on these resources by multiple telecommunications operators. This enables opportunities to improve efficiency in terms of network resource utilization.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for addressing conflicts in a radio access network (RAN) includes generating, by a non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (non-RT RIC), a policy for a near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) by analyzing an activity log of several xApps, which are being executed by the near-RT RIC. The method further includes sending, by the non-RT RIC the policy to the near-RT RIC to cause the near-RT RIC, in response to receiving a request from an xApp from the several xApps to update a parameter of the RAN. The policy specifies an update the parameter based on the policy allowing the xApp to update the parameter. The policy further specifies maintaining the parameter unchanged based on the policy restricting the xApp to update the parameter.
