The O-RAN architecture includes a Real-Time (RT) Radio Intelligent Controller (RIC) that is connected via A1 interface to Non-Real Time RIC function that resides in the Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) layer. The purpose of A1 interface is to enable Non-RT RIC function to provide policy-based guidance, AI/ML model management, and enrichment information to the near-RT RIC for RAN optimization.

3. High-Level Design and Implementation Approach
For Frankfurt, only A1 Policy Management is supported.
The solution leverages existing CCSDK/SDNR code base and SDNC Dmaap Listener, and below depicts implementation approach:
