Open RAN and Core Integration

Interoperability across open interfaces

RAN, Core, IMS, transport, orchestration and cloud infrastructure must work together across open interfaces. The Open6GE architecture therefore includes integration capabilities across both the RAN and Core.

On the RAN side, technologies such as xFAPI can bridge differences between independently developed L1 and L2 implementations, enabling combinations across open and accelerated RAN platforms.

On the Core side, cloud-native network functions, programmable user planes and open APIs provide a foundation for rapid experimentation. Additional interoperability components such as SETU and HEXAeBPF address integration across IMS, multi-core environments, control-plane and user-plane composition, and programmable packet processing.
