Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Systems Architecture and Design

Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Systems Architecture and Design, Second Edition, gives a jump-start to engineers developing O-RAN hardware and software systems, providing a top-down approach to O-RAN systems design. It gives an introduction into why wireless systems look the way they do today before introducing relevant O-RAN and 3GPP standards. The remainder of the book discusses hardware and software aspects of O-RAN system design, including dimensioning and performance targets.

• Strong emphasis on implementation
• Presents O-RAN and 3GPP standards
• Provides a top-down approach to O-RAN systems design
• Includes practical examples of relevant elements of detailed hardware and software design to provide tools for development
• Gives a few practical examples of where O-RAN designs play in the market and how they map to hardware and software architectures
