:alt: Image: O-RAN SC - NONRTRIC Overall Architecture
Summary
The primary goal of the Non-RealTime RIC is to support non-real-time radio resource management, higher layer procedure optimization, policy optimization in RAN, and providing guidance, parameters, policies and AI/ML models to support the operation of near-RealTime RIC functions in the RAN to achieve higher-level non-real-time objectives.
-Non-RealTime RIC functions include service and policy management, RAN analytics and model-training for the near-RealTime RICs.
+Non-RealTime RIC functions include service and policy management and RAN analytics for the RAN.
The Non-RealTime RIC platform hosts and coordinates rApps (Non-RT RIC applications) to perform Non-RealTime RIC tasks.
The Non-RealTime RIC also hosts the new R1 interface (between rApps and SMO/Non-RealTime-RIC services).
The O-RAN-SC (OSC) NONRTRIC project provides concepts, architecture and reference implementations as defined and described by the `O-RAN Alliance <https://www.o-ran.org>`_ architecture.
The OSC NONRTRIC implementation communicates with near-RealTime RIC elements in the RAN via the A1 interface. Using the A1 interface the NONRTRIC will facilitate the provision of policies for individual UEs or groups of UEs; monitor and provide basic feedback on policy state from near-RealTime RICs; provide enrichment information as required by near-RealTime RICs; and facilitate ML model training, distribution and inference in cooperation with the near-RealTime RICs.
+The OSC NONRTRIC hosts rApps, and coordinates all interactions between the rApp and underlying SMo by way of the R1 Interface.
