LLM-hRIC: LLM-empowered Hierarchical RAN Intelligent Control for O-RAN

Researchers propose LLM-hRIC, a new framework that combines large language models with hierarchical radio access network intelligent controllers to improve O-RAN networks. The system uses LLM-powered non-real-time controllers for strategic guidance and reinforcement learning for near-real-time decision making in network management.
