X-RIC: An Agentic RAN-Intelligent Controller Benchmark for Enhancing Reinforcement Learning
arXiv:2610.22269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The O-RAN ALLIANCE introduces architectural flexibility through disaggregation and AI-driven control. While the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) enables centralized optimization, current AI approaches lack reasoning capabilities and explainability. We propose eXplainable RIC (X-RIC), a novel framework integrating agentic AI into O-RAN architectures. X-RIC combines reactive Reinforcement Learning (RL) with strategic agentic reasoning through: (i) a…
