X-RIC: An Agentic RAN-Intelligent Controller Benchmark for Enhancing Reinforcement Learning
X-RIC reports an 89% reduction in operational costs while maintaining service-level agreement compliance in network-slicing tests.
The framework combines reinforcement learning with a transformer-based telecom reasoning module and automated behavioral cloning from domain heuristics. Its control loop continuously refines policies within the O-RAN architecture. The authors report 75% faster convergence, 50% fewer training steps and 46% lower variance, with validation in simulation and O-RAN-compliant testbeds. They also introduce BARX, an evaluation framework measuring latency, compliance and determinism in agentic network control.
