Provided are features for determining authentication status information of an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Radio Unit (O-RU). According to embodiments, an O-RU controller may be configured to: obtain a Media Access Control (MAC) address of an O-RU; determine, based on the MAC address of the O-RU, an authentication status of the O-RU; based on determining that the O-RU has been authenticated, establish a channel binding with the O-RU; and based on determining that the O-RU has not been authenticated, isolate the O-RU from further communications with the O-RU controller.

Determining authentication status information of an O-RAN radio unit

A method of policy decision includes receiving, by a central policy server, a network policy, determining, by a cluster policy server that is separate from the central policy server, whether the network policy is relevant to a cluster corresponding to the cluster policy server, storing, by the cluster policy server, the network policy in a cluster policy database based on determining that the network policy is relevant to the cluster corresponding to the cluster policy server, obtaining, by a policy decision point (PDP) module that is separate from the cluster policy server, the network policy stored in the cluster policy database, and determining, by the PDP module, whether to implement the network policy based on a policy query received from a policy enforcement point (PEP) module.

Aspects related to application based routing of data packets is described. In an example, a method for enabling application based routing of data packets includes retrieving, by a client device, a prioritized list of client application parameters to process data packets from at least one client application. The prioritized list is generated based on application support capabilities of the client device. The method includes transmitting client parameters to a network server to create at least one multi-path proxy (MPP) instance. Each MPP instance of the at least one MPP instance is configured to aggregate and route data packets to a pre-defined core network link. The method further includes receiving identification information pertaining to the at least one MPP instance from the network server. Based on the identification information, the prioritized list is assigned to the at least one MPP instance to process data packets from at least one client application.

A method includes receiving at least one current network condition factor (NCF), each current NCF indicating a level of congestion of a corresponding network. The method determines that there is an autonomous report to be transmitted and in response determines a policy entry of a policy used for autonomous reporting based on matching values of one or more input parameters related to the autonomous report to values of one or more input parameters of the policy entry. A reference NCF for a first network is determined from the corresponding policy entry. The method then determines whether to request to transmit the autonomous report on the first network based on a comparison of the reference NCF for the first network and the current NCF of the first network.
