The O-RAN specification work has been divided into technical Work Groups (WG), all of them under the supervision of the Technical Steering Committee. There are 11 work groups (WGs. Each of the technical workgroups covers a part of the Open RAN<\/a> architecture.<\/p>\n

\"Oran
\n\u2022 WG1: Use Cases and Overall Architecture Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It has overall responsibility for the O-RAN Architecture and Use Cases. WG 1 identifies tasks to be completed within the scope of the Architecture and Use Cases and assigns Task Group leads to drive these tasks to completion while working across other O-RAN Work Groups.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG2: The Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The primary goal of Non-RT RIC is to support Non-Real-Time intelligent radio resource management, higher layer procedure optimization, policy optimization in RAN, and providing AI\/ML models to Near-RT RIC.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG3: The Near-Real-Time RIC<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The focus of this WG is to define an architecture based on Near-Real-Time Radio Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC), which enables near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via fine-grained data collection and actions over E2 interface.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG4: The Open Fronthaul Interfaces Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The objective of this WG is to deliver truly open fronthaul interfaces, in which multi-vendor DU-RRU interoperability can be realized.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG5: The Open F1\/W1\/E1\/X2\/Xn Interface Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The objective of this WG is to provide fully operable multi-vendor profile specifications (which shall be compliant with 3GPP specification) for F1\/W1\/E1\/X2\/Xn interfaces and in some cases will propose 3GPP specification enhancements.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG6: The Cloudification and Orchestration Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The cloudification and orchestration WG seeks to drive the decoupling of RAN software from the underlying hardware platforms and to produce technology and reference designs that would allow commodity hardware platforms to be leveraged for all parts of a RAN deployment including the CU and the DU.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG7: The White-box Hardware Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The promotion of open reference design hardware is a potential way to reduce the cost of 5G deployment that will benefit both the operators and vendors. The objective of this Work Group is to specify and release a complete reference design to foster a decoupled software and hardware platform.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG8: Stack Reference Design Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The aim of this WG is to develop the software architecture, design, and release plan for the O-RAN Central Unit (O-CU) and O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU) based on O-RAN and 3GPP specifications for the NR protocol stack.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG9: Open X-haul Transport Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This WG focuses on the transport domain, consisting of transport equipment, physical media and control\/management protocols associated with the transport network.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG10: OAM Work Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This WG is responsible for the OAM requirements, OAM architecture and the O1 interface.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WG11: Security Work Group<\/strong><\/em>
\nThis WG focuses on security aspects of the open RAN ecosystem.<\/p>\n
