Downtime-Aware O-RAN VNF Deployment Strategy for Optimized Self-Healing in the O-Cloud

Understand

Due to the huge surge in the traffic of IoT devices and applications, mobile networks require a new paradigm shift to handle such demand roll out.

• With the 5G economics, those networks should provide virtualized multi-vendor and intelligent systems that can scale and efficiently optimize the investment of the underlying infrastructure.
• Therefore, the market stakeholders have proposed the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) as one of the solutions to improve the network performance, agility, and time-to-market of new applications.
• O-RAN harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and new network technologies (NFV and SDN) to allow operators to manage their infrastructure in a cost-efficient manner.
