Open RAN is the movement in wireless telecommunications to create intelligent, open, virtualized, and fully interoperable Radio Access Networks (RAN) by disaggregating RAN functionality, hardware, and software, creating open interfaces between them, and providing a framework for intelligent control and optimization. This whitepaper provides an overview of the Open RAN system architecture as defined by the O-RAN alliance. Different O-RAN functional splits, benefits, deployments, opportunities, and challenges are discussed in this white paper.
