The O-RAN R1 Interface exposes services from the Non-RT RIC and O-RAN SMO to rApps.
rApps are non-real-time applications that support automation, optimization, analytics, and orchestration workflows.
Used for
- rApp onboarding and lifecycle integration.
- Access to SMO and Non-RT RIC services.
- Policy, data, AI/ML, and workflow services used by rApps.
- Non-real-time optimization and automation use cases.
Relationship to xApps
rApps run at the SMO or Non-RT RIC layer and work on non-real-time timescales. xApps run on the Near-RT RIC and use the O-RAN E2 Interface for near-real-time RAN control.
