This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award for $285,694 provides funding to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to develop a safe online hierarchical learning framework for managing open radio access networks (O-RAN) in mobile networks. The project aims to address challenges in network management, resource allocation, and service orchestration by designing novel AI/ML techniques for autonomous network control. Key research objectives include: 1) online resource allocation at near-real-time RICs using safe deep reinforcement learning, 2) online service orchestration at non-real-time RICs through robust Bayesian learning, and 3) extensive field testing and evaluation within the O-RAN mobile network at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iowa State University. This 2-year project is expected to generate long-lasting benefits for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln by strengthening the PI's research portfolio, enhancing the educational platform, and fostering a collaborative research group. The project outcomes have the potential to reduce operating expenses and facilitate widespread deployment of cost-effective mobile networks, ultimately contributing to bridging the digital divide between rural and urban America.
