Summary

A hierarchical O-RAN controller couples slow UAV and slice decisions to fast per-user allocation.

In ray-traced simulation, the controller improved eMBB service-level satisfaction by up to 17 percent and URLLC on-time delivery by up to 42 percent over stated classical and learned schedulers. The learned slow-timescale controller added up to 20 percent URLLC delivery over its baselines.

Why it matters
