## 5G Introduction
5G introduce new feature to be able to provide different service category by using concept of network slicing.
Network slicing: separate/divide single network to support different network service
ORan alliance is founded by big telecommunication provider company
ORAN defines:
1. Open interface for FH
2. RIC into 2: non and near RT RIC
3. A1
4. E2
5. E1
6. O1
Meanwhile F1 interface is defined by **3GPP**
## O-RAN Introduction
O-RAN goals: openness (open interface) and intelligence.
Openness means to drives all interface into open standard so that there are compatibilities between vendors.
ORAN separates CU into 2 parts: CU-CP and CU UP
CU-CP and CU-UP will communicate using E1 interface.
CU and DU communicate using F1 interface.
Near RT can collect data from CU-C and CU-P using E2 interface.
Purpose of E2 is to collect data, thus it has 2 types of sub protocol based on functionality:
1. e2sm
2. e2ap
OSC is launched by O-RAN and linux foundation.
