Abstract

Provided herein are methods and systems for detecting, evaluating, and mitigating conflicts in an open radio access network (open RAN) including a profiler for generating an application profile for each of a plurality of applications deployable on the open RAN by simulating a behavior of each application with respect to a corresponding parameter set under a predefined plurality of operational condition sets, a conflict detection component configured to determine a predicted existence of a conflict between a requested application and one or more currently instantiated applications, a conflict evaluation component configured to determine a predicted frequency and a predicted severity of the conflict, and a conflict mitigation component configured to develop a conflict mitigation scheme and, according to the conflict mitigation scheme, at least one of block instantiation of the requested application, instantiate the requested application, or uninstantiate at least one of the currently instantiated applications.
