Abstract
The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method performed by a near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) is provided. The method includes the steps of generating an RIC control message, and transmitting the RIC control message to an E2 node, wherein the RIC control message includes an information element (IE) for indicating a radio resource control (RRC) message type.
Claims17
A method performed by a Near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC), the method comprising:
- generating an RIC control message;
- and
- transmitting, to an E2 node, the RIC control message including an identifier (ID) of a user equipment (UE) and information on a scheduling control for the UE,
- wherein the information on the scheduling control includes information indicating a format type of downlink control information (DCI) and the DCI for the UE, and
- wherein the DCI is associated with a physical layer level control for the UE.
A method performed by an E2 node, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a Near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC), an RIC control message including an identifier (ID) of a user equipment (UE) and information on a scheduling control for the UE,
- wherein the information on the scheduling control includes information indicating a format type of downlink control information (DCI) and the DCI for the UE, and
- wherein the DCI is associated with a physical layer level control for the UE.
A Near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, and configured to:
- generate an RIC control message, and
- transmit, to an E2 node, the RIC control message including an identifier (ID) of a user equipment (UE) and information on a scheduling control for the UE,
- wherein the information on the scheduling control includes information indicating a format type of downlink control information (DCI) and the DCI for the UE, and
- wherein the DCI is associated with a physical layer level control for the UE.
An E2 node comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, and configured to:
- receive, from a Near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC), an RIC control message including an identifier (ID) of a user equipment (UE) and information on a scheduling control for the UE,
- wherein the information on the scheduling control includes information indicating a format type of downlink control information (DCI) and the DCI for the UE, and
- wherein the DCI is associated with a physical layer level control for the UE.
