What is a RAN Intelligent Controller?
什么是 RAN 智能控制器？
A RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is a software-defined component of the Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) architecture that’s responsible for controlling and optimizing RAN functions. The RIC is a critical piece of the Open RAN disaggregation strategy, bringing multivendor interoperability, intelligence, agility, and programmability to RANs. The RIC enables the onboarding of third-party applications that automate and optimize RAN operations at scale while supporting innovative use cases that lower mobile operators’ total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhance customer experiences.
RAN 智能控制器 (RIC) 是开放式无线电接入网络 (Open RAN) 架构的软件定义组件，负责控制和优化 RAN 功能。RIC 是开放式 RAN 分解策略的关键组成部分，可让 RAN 具有多供应商可互操作性、智能性、敏捷性和可编程性。RIC 允许装载第三方应用，从而实现大规模 RAN 操作自动化和优化，同时为创新用例提供支持，降低移动运营商的总拥有成本 (TCO) 并改善客户体验。
