Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing radio access network (RAN) functions in a cloud at a medium access control (MAC) scheduler application that executes on a machine deployed on a host computer in the cloud. The method receives data, via a RAN intelligent controller (RIC), from a first RAN component. The method uses the received data to generate a MAC scheduling output. The method provides the MAC scheduling output to a second RAN component via the RIC.
