Abstract

Fast-aiding radio access network intelligent controllers (RICs) can assist other RICs that are experiencing performance issues. The system can take into account the availability of other RICs that can aid the RIC needing assistance. Therefore, multiple RICs cooperatively working together can generate synergies, and allow differentiated RICs to operate in both predefined and/or dynamically create RIC groups. Once a RIC that needs assistance is identified, other RICs can offload functionalities that are less important than the functionality of the RIC that is experiencing the performance issues. After the assisting RIC has offloaded its functionalities, it can then devote resources to the RIC that needs the assistance.
