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.
