Non-RT RIC Control Panel Overview

Graphical user interface with the following capabilities:

  • View and Manage A1 policies in the RAN (near-RT-RICs)

  • Graphical A1 policy creation/editing is model-driven, based on policy type’s JSON schema

  • View producers and jobs for the Information coordinator service

  • Configure A1 Policy Management Service (add/remove near-rt-rics)

The frontend is developed using the Angular framework. The Gateway is a Spring Cloud Gateway that provides an API Gateway for all the Non-RT-RIC Components.
