Mavenir
The Mavenir RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) makes use of advanced
machine learning algorithms to optimize network performance.
The target objective function is
configurable by the operator, guiding the optimization process to meet potentially dynamically changing
business requirements at runtime. Bayesian Optimization is used to build a model of the relationship
between configuration parameters and performance, and the algorithm makes optimal use of the prior data
samples to refine the model and choose the next proposed configuration update, making a tradeoff between
exploitation, which attempts to maximize the performance immediately, and exploration, which aims to
reduce the uncertainty of the model.
The demonstration shown the RIC in action, ingesting configuration data and performance metrics from a demonstration RAN, and iteratively optimizing the configuration parameters to achieve improvement in key performance indicators.
