Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable media for executing applications for radio interface controller (RIC) management are disclosed. The system includes one or more far-edge datacenters including first computing resources configured to execute a radio access network (RAN) function and a real-time RIC; one or more near-edge datacenters including second computing resources configured to execute a core network function and at least one of a near-real-time RIC or a non-real-time RIC; and a central controller. The central controller is configured to: receive inputs of application requirements, hardware constraints, and a capacity of the first and the second computing resources; select, based on a policy applied to the inputs, a location a far-edge datacenter or a near-edge datacenters for executing each of a plurality of applications to form a pipeline; and deploy each of the applications to the real-time RIC, the near-real-time RIC, or the non-real-time RIC based on the selected location.
