MANATEE: A DevOps Platform for xApp Lifecycle Management and Testing in Open RAN
CoRRThe shift to disaggregated 5G architectures introduces unprecedented flexibility but also significant complexity in Beyond 5G Radio Access Networks (RANs). Open RAN enables programmability through xApps, yet deploying and validating these applications is critical given the nature of the systems they aim to control.

OREO: O-RAN intElligence Orchestration of xApp-based network services
IEEE INFOCOM 2024 - IEEE Conference on Computer CommunicationsThe Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architec- ture aims to support a plethora of network services, such as beam management and network slicing, through the use of third-party applications called xApps. To efficiently provide network services at the radio interface, it is thus essential that the deployment of the xApps is carefully orchestrated.

AutORAN: LLM-driven Natural Language Programming for Agile xApp Development
CoRRTraditional RAN systems are closed and monolithic, stifling innovation. The openness and programmability enabled by Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) are envisioned to revolutionize cellular networks with control-plane applications--xApps. The development of xApps (typically by third-party developers), however, remains time-consuming and cumbersome ...
