RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC)

Bringing Intelligence to the RAN since 2019. Our RIC is an advanced platform to deploy xApps and rApps to bring intelligence and automation to your network.

RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC): Real-Time AI Optimisation for the RAN

RAN Intelligence

Accelleran’s AI-powered RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) enables real-time network automation, driving down infrastructure and operational costs while boosting agility and performance. Launched in 2019, our dRAX-RIC unlocks Open RAN flexibility with support for advanced xApps, empowering operators to optimise spectrum usage, deliver custom services, and deploy features like network slicing and indoor positioning, faster and smarter than ever before.

dRAX-RIC provides deep control over RAN behaviour, transforming data into immediate action through scalable, AI-driven intelligence. This is next-generation RAN orchestration, live, programmable, and built for revenue growth.

Transforming Networks with AI-enabled applications

Accelleran’s AI-powered xApps, developed in-house and by trusted third parties, are already live in production networks, solving real-world challenges in energy savings, traffic optimisation, and interference reduction. Each xApp is purpose-built and delivers measurable performance gains in even the most demanding deployment scenarios.

Energy Efficiency

Slash network energy costs without sacrificing performance. Our energy-efficiency xApp dynamically powers down resources during low demand, cutting energy usage while ensuring seamless user experience.

Traffic Steering

Maximise throughput and avoid network congestion. The traffic steering xApp intelligently routes user sessions across cells, balancing load in real time for smoother performance and improved QoS.

PCI Allocation

Eliminate interference at the edge. Our PCI allocation xApp automates Physical Cell Identity planning, reducing handover issues and boosting radio efficiency across dense deployments.

Driving Innovation with Real-World AI xApp Deployments

Accelleran leads the charge in AI-driven RAN control, demonstrated across global industry stages and real-world networks.

A RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) platform is a software-defined component of the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture. It provides centralised control and management of the RAN elements, optimising network performance and resource utilisation through the deployment of xApps (near real-time applications) and rApps (non-real-time applications).

xApps/rApps deployed on the RIC include:

  • Optimisation: Enhancing network performance by dynamically managing resources.
  • Automation: Automating network operations and reducing manual interventions.
  • Programmability: Allowing third-party developers to create applications (xApps/rApps) that can run on the RIC to introduce new functionalities and services.
  • Analytics: Collecting and analysing real-time data from the RAN to provide insights and enable proactive network management​.

Apps deployed on Accelleran’s RIC improves network performance by using AI and machine learning algorithms to analyse real-time data and make decisions that optimize resource allocation, reduce latency, enhance throughput, and improve overall user experience. It allows for dynamic adjustments based on current network conditions​.

AI plays a crucial role in RIC xApps/rApps by enabling advanced data analytics and decision-making processes. AI algorithms analyze vast amounts of real-time data from the RAN, allowing for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and intelligent resource management. This leads to more efficient and resilient network operations​.

Some example x/rApps for RIC include:

  • Interference Management: Mitigating interference between cells to improve signal quality.
  • Load Balancing: Distributing network traffic evenly across available resources to prevent congestion.
  • Energy Savings: Dynamically adjusting power usage based on network demand to reduce energy consumption.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) Management: Ensuring that different types of traffic receive the appropriate level of service based on their requirements​.
  • xApps: Near real-time applications that run on the Near-Real-Time RIC (Near-RT RIC). They are responsible for tasks that require low latency, such as interference management and load balancing.
  • rApps: Non-real-time applications that run on the Non-Real-Time RIC (Non-RT RIC). They handle tasks that can tolerate higher latency, such as long-term network planning and policy management​.
  • Near-RT RIC: Operates with a latency of less than one second and is responsible for real-time control and optimization functions using xApps.
  • Non-RT RIC: Operates with a latency of more than one second and manages non-real-time tasks using rApps. It provides policy guidance and long-term data analytics to the Near-RT RIC​.
