RICtest: O-RAN E2 Nodes Emulation Solution: for RAN Intelligent Controller Testing

2023-02-13
●5G functionalities like radio access network (RAN) functional splits, control plane and user plane separation (CUPS) and network slicing require advanced monitoring and analytical capabilities to configure, optimize, and control the RAN infrastructure at the edge.
●The RAN intelligent controller (RIC) functional entity provides advanced control capabilities, enabling increased efficiency and better radio resource management by leveraging analytics and data-driven operations to optimize access network utilization. The RIC consists of a near-real time controller (Near-RT RIC) that implements functionalities requiring low latency and a non-real-time controller (Non-RT RIC) for operations without stringent latency needs. The near-real time RIC software platform provides a cloud-based infrastructure to host various applications (xApps) for controlling a distributed set of RAN elements (eNB, gNB, CU, DU) over the E2 interface from the O-RAN Alliance.
●Keysight’s RICtest solution emulates all E2 node types standardized by the working group 3 (WG3) of the O-RAN Alliance for testing RIC functionalities at any scale.
●The solution supports thousands of E2 connections and is ideal for network vendors who want to test the scalability of their RIC architectures. This cloud-native solution supports the CU user plane (CU-UP) / CU control plane (CU-CP) split and both 5G non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) topologies.
