The RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is a software-driven platform used within Open RAN architectures to optimize and automate radio network operations. Its primary purpose is to provide real-time and non-real-time control of radio network functions, improving overall network performance and flexibility. The RIC enables dynamic network adjustments by leveraging advanced analytics and AI-driven algorithms, such as traffic load balancing and interference management. For example, during a large-scale event like a concert, the RIC can reallocate network resources to reduce interference and ensure optimal service quality for attendees.
