Summary

• What is new: This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the latest developments in open radio access network (RAN) technology, contrasting with the traditional approach.
• Why this is important: Traditional RAN technology is closed and proprietary, which limits flexibility, performance, and cost-efficiency in network deployment and operation.
• What the research proposes: The paper discusses the evolution of RAN and how open RAN introduces openness and intelligence into RAN deployments through open source solutions and standardization efforts.
• Results: It highlights the potential of open RAN to significantly improve flexibility, performance, and cost-efficiency in the network’s deployment and operation.
