| contents | The disaggregated, distributed and virtualised implementation of radio access networks allows for dynamic resource allocation. These attributes can be realised by virtue of the Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) architecture. In this article, we tackle the issue of dynamic resource allocation using a data-driven approach by employing Machine Learning (ML). We present an xApp-based implementation for the proposed ML algorithm. The core aim of this work is to optimise resource allocation and fulfil Service Level Specifications (SLS). This is accomplished by dynamically adjusting the allocation of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) based on traffic demand and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The proposed ML model effectively selects the best allocation policy for each base station and enhances the performance of scheduler functionality in O-RAN - Distributed Unit (O-DU). We show that an xApp implementing the Random Forest Classifier can yield high (85\%) performance accuracy for optimal policy selection. This can be attained using the O-RAN instance state input parameters over a short training duration. |
