Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards maintaining an interval group data structure of one or more interval groups that each contain ranges of one or more available values such as subscription identifiers. The subscription identifiers can be used by a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (a near-real-time RIC) for xApp-to-E2 node subscriptions. When a subscription identifier is needed, a value from an interval group is selected and returned, and removed from the interval group as no longer being eligible for use, until released. This can be the lowest value in the lowest interval group. When a subscription identifier is released, the value is reinserted into the interval group data structure. This may be by modifying an existing interval group, or creating a new interval group for the released value. Reinsertion can result in two (or three) adjacent interval groups, which can be merged into a single interval group.
