Abstract

Providing connectivity to high-density traffic demand is one of the key promises of future wireless networks. The open radio access network (O-RAN) is one of the critical drivers ensuring such connectivity in heterogeneous networks. Despite intense interest from researchers in this domain, key challenges remain to ensure efficient network resource allocation and utilization. This paper proposes a dynamic traffic forecasting scheme to predict future traffic demand in federated O-RAN. Utilizing information on user demand and network capacity, we propose a fully reconfigurable admission control framework via fuzzy-logic optimization. We also perform detailed analysis on several parameters (user satisfaction level, utilization gain, and fairness) over benchmarks from various papers. The results show that the proposed forecasting and fuzzy-logic-based admission control framework significantly enhances fairness and provides guaranteed quality of experience without sacrificing resource utilization. Moreover, we have proven that the proposed framework can accommodate a large number of devices connected simultaneously in the federated O-RAN.
