Facilitation of radio access network intelligent controller resource preservation framework for 5g or other next generation network

Network equipment, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• determining, using a machine learning model, a predicted utilization of a network resource by a group of user equipment moving within a defined area of the network resource, wherein the network resource provides radio network connectivity and is operating in a first configuration of a resource allocation of the network resource;
• and
• initiating, using the machine learning model, based on the predicted utilization of the network resource by the group of user equipment, a second configuration of the resource allocation of the network resource, to the group of user equipment, wherein the second configuration of the resource allocation reduces an energy usage of the network resource as compared to the first configuration.
