Conflict mitigation of a radio access network

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards conflict management of applications implemented on a radio access network (RAN) network. Various embodiments are presented to enable identification of a potential conflict (e.g., where an application is being onboarded) as well as a present conflict (e.g., where two or more applications are already operational). Conflicts may directly affect a control target, e.g., two applications are trying to control the same target. Conflicts may indirectly affect a control target, two applications affect a first metric and a second metric, but a third metric is affected. Conflict resolution includes preventing an application onboarding, terminating operation of an application, identifying causes unrelated to the application, rolling back operation of the RAN to a prior condition (e.g., pre-conflict condition), and suchlike. Conflict resolution can be conducted at a RAN intelligent controller (RIC).
