AI-TPC on O-RAN: A Safe and Deployable Framework with OTA Validation on OCUDU
This paper presents a safe and deployable AI-based PUSCH transmit power control (AI-TPC) framework for O-RAN, implemented inside the per-slot scheduling loop of an open-source O-DU (OCUDU release_26_04). The framework supports two inference modes: a supervised MLP-TPC baseline and an offline reinforcement-learning CQL-...
