Intelligent Near-RT RIC xAPP for 5G O-RAN Small Cells: Energy-Efficient PRB Optimization with E2 Control

This paper presents the design, implementation, and experimental validation of an intelligent xApp for the Near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC), targeting 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) small-cell deployments. The system operates over three contiguous 100 MHz carriers in the 3.5-3.8 GHz band (3...
