Network architectures have evolved considerably since the 1980s, yet the basic principle of the radio and core networks has remained largely the same. Traditionally, mobile operators managed a set of network elements and their hardware and software dedicated to their respective functions. Only recently, and largely thanks to the service-based architecture model of the 5G, the virtualization of network functions has become possible. At the same time, the established and new standardization bodies are updating the traditional models to reflect this evolution, so operators finally have additional options to design and deploy modern networks such as virtual and Open RAN models. This book would help operators, equipment manufacturers, service providers, regulators, and educational institutes alike to understand and explore the principles and details of the Open RAN.

Pioneering outline of the concept which enhances 5G capabilities and will revolutionize the telecommunications industry

Open RAN Explained details the new architectures, functionalities, and interfaces of Open RAN models and explains the standards, principles, and practical aspects the operators need to know to be prepared for the new era. The work describes the challenges and opportunities of modularization and presents scenarios and recommendations for optimal network deployment considering techno-economic aspects. It further summarizes the latest key features and aspects of the Open RAN to provide readers with a single source of information that eases network deployment, device designing, and education of personnel and students interested in advanced mobile communications.

Technically, the work references the latest specifications of the O-RAN Alliance and GSMA OP/TIP, complemented by the current 3GPP Release 16 specifications on the network virtualization and spit models for which deployment is expected from 2022-25.

Written by an author working at the cutting edge of 5G development in industry, sample topics covered in Open RAN Explained include: Open RAN architecture, exploring ideas like details of the requirements and challenges of the cloud runtime environment the Open RAN needs for O-Cloud RAN modularization, covering the role of 4G and 5G, 3GPP split options, O-RAN options, and hardware design O-RAN use cases, such as traffic steering, QoS and QoE optimization, massive MIMO, network slicing and service level assurance, and V2X handover Open RAN planning and deployment, regarding Open RAN deployment scenarios, service-based planning aspects, optimization, site strategies, and more

Presenting many practical examples to aid in reader comprehension, Open RAN Explained is an essential and accessible resource for operators, equipment manufacturers, service providers, regulators, and educational institutes alike to understand and explore the principles and details of the Open RAN.

About the Author: Jyrki Penttinen has worked in mobile telecommunications since 1994. He has experience in research and operational activities for both radio and core network domains, including planning, optimization, measurements, system architectures, and services. After 10 years with mobile network operators and another 10 years with Nokia, he worked for Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security team from 2014-2018 and joined GSMA in December 2018.
