5gThis short course is designed to provide a focused introduction to two key aspects of the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) framework:

Module 1: O-RAN Architecture and Intelligent Control

Explore the core components of the O-RAN architecture, including the disaggregated network functions, key interfaces, and the role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in enabling intelligent, automated network optimisation.

Module 2: O-RAN Use Cases and Traffic Steering

Learn how O-RAN supports more flexible and mobile-centric traffic steering strategies. The module explains the motivations behind operator-defined policies, the roles of the RICs, and includes a practical use case illustrating how traffic can be dynamically steered based on service requirements.
