EdgeRIC Core Architecture¶
EdgeRIC Architecture
RT-E2 interface (Real time E2 interface)
Messaging framework between the RAN stack and EdgeRIC, built on ZMQ and protobuf, with TTI-level synchronization.
RT-E2 Report Message
Per-UE KPI report structure (cqi, buffers, TBS, rates) sent every TTI from the RAN to EdgeRIC.
RT-E2 Policy Message
Control-action messages from μApps back to the RAN, including scheduling weights and blanking decisions.
REDIS database
How Redis is used for model storage, μApp lifecycle management, and dynamic configuration.
μApps – EdgeRIC microservices
How μApps subscribe to metrics, compute policies, and send control via the EdgeRIC messenger.
Some Example μApps
Available suite of muApps for different use cases.
