Abstract
A method of optimizing traffic steering (TS) radio resource management (RRM) decisions for handover of individual user equipment (UE) in Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) includes: providing an O-RAN-compliant near real time RAN intelligent controller (near-RT RIC) configured to interact with O-RAN nodes; and utilizing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based TS application xApp in the near-RT RIC to optimize TS handover control and maximize UE throughput utility. The TS xApp is configured utilizing a virtualized and simulated environment for O-RAN, which virtualized and simulated environment for O-RAN is provided by ns-O-RAN platform. The optimization problem to be solved is formulated as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), and a solution to the optimization problem is derived by using at least one reinforcement learning (RL) technique.
