Abstract
A method performed by a near-Real Time (RT) Radio Access Network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) is provided. The method includes receiving, from an E2 node, an E2 removal request message for removing a connection between the near-RT RIC and the E2 node through an E2 interface, and transmitting, to the E2 node, an E2 removal response message through the E2 interface, in which the E2 node includes an O-RAN distributed unit (O-DU), an O-RAN central unit-control plane (O-CU-CP), an O-RAN central unit-user plane (O-CU-UP), or a base station that communicates with the near-RT RIC via the E2 interface, and the E2 interface provided for communication between the near-RT RIC and the E2 node supports an E2 application protocol (E2AP) for communication over the E2 interface.
