Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards implementing a cloud intelligent controller (CIC) system at the O-Cloud platform/infrastructure to enable automated and fast (e.g., near-RT) implementation/coordination between the O-Cloud CIC and radio access network (RAN) controllers. O-Cloud-applications (cApps) are configured for implementation at the CIC, such that a workload received at the O-Cloud can be accompanied with a cApp, wherein the cApp defines the respective resources, functionality, etc., required to process the workload. Hence, rather than relying on information provided by other platforms in the RAN (e.g., service management and orchestration (SMO), non-RT RAN intelligent controller (RIC), near-RT RIC, and associated rApps and xApps), implementing a CIC with cApps enables inherent processing latency of conventional RAN configurations to be reduced, further enabling improved power control, resource management, and the like, to be performed locally at the CIC/O-Cloud.
