Abstract

Open Radio Access Network (RAN) enables flexible, AI-driven control of mobile networks through disaggregated, multi-vendor components. In this architecture, xApps handle real-time functions, whereas rApps in the non-real-time controller generate strategic policies. However, current rApp development remains largely manual, brittle, and poorly scalable as xApp diversity proliferates. In this work, we propose a Multi-Agentic AI framework to automate rApp policy generation and orchestration. The architecture integrates three specialized large language model (LLM)-based agents, Perception, Reasoning, and Refinement, supported by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and memory-based analogical reasoning. These agents collectively analyze potential conflicts, synthesize intent-aligned control pipelines, and incrementally refine deployment decisions. Experiments across diverse deployment scenarios demonstrate that the proposed system achieves over 70% improvement in deployment accuracy and 95% reduction in reasoning cost compared to baseline methods, while maintaining zero-shot generalization to unseen intents. These results establish a scalable and conflict-aware solution for fully autonomous, zero-touch rApp orchestration in Open RAN.
