Abstract

This talk is about Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), in specific the near-Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC). Besides presenting an architectural overview of the O-RAN architecture focusing on the near-RT RIC, the talk aims to elaborate on the internal aspects of the design, implementation and testing of the SD-RAN trial in Berlin, specifically describing the ONF SD-RAN project. The goal is to provide an overview of the O-RAN, the SD-RAN trial, the internal aspects of the ONF SD-RAN project, and the integration challenges.

Bio

*Raphael Vicente Rosa, Intel.*

Raphael Vicente Rosa, PhD in Computer Engineering by the University of Campinas in Brazil, currently works as a Cloud Software Development Engineer at Intel. Before he joined ONF where he worked on the design, implementation and testing of the SD-RAN and Aether projects. During his PhD, he worked for two years as a visiting researcher in Ericsson Research Hungary, in the EU-FP7 Unify and H2020 5G Exchange projects. His main interests sit on state-of-the-art SDN and NFV research topics entangled with disruptive technologies, aiming to open source his pet projects.
