Systems and methods for o-cloud resource optimization for radio access network (ran) sharing in an open radio access network (o-ran)

Abstract

A method performed by a processor executing a first application includes receiving, information regarding one or more sharing services registered by a second application. The method includes transmitting a subscription request to the one or more sharing services. The method includes receiving, over the interface from the second application in response to the subscription request, a subscription confirmation indicating a successful subscription to the one or more sharing services. The method includes transmitting, over the interface to the second application, a network function instantiation request that requests instantiation of a network function that utilizes the one or more network resources of the second network operator. The method includes receiving, in response to the network function instantiation request, a notification confirming that the network function is instantiated. The method further includes monitoring performance of the instantiated network function on the one or more network resources.
