Closed-loop Cell Congestion Optimization rApp with OCUDU RAN Stack
This demonstration presents an end-to-end Cell Congestion Optimization workflow implemented with Open RAN standards and open-source software, including the OCUDU RAN Stack, Aether SD-Core, and ONAP-based SMO. The system monitors O1 performance data to detect congestion, selects a neighboring cell based on configurable policies, and initiates a handover request via the management plane using standardized interfaces like O1, NETCONF/YANG, and RESTCONF. The workflow validates interoperability between independently developed components through a closed-loop control process involving live telemetry collection, handover generation, and execution. This implementation provides a foundation for autonomous network operations and intelligent rApps in evolving Open RAN environments. The complete source code and technical documentation are publicly available.
