ORANSlice is an end-to-end open-source 5G network slicing framework for O-RAN. It (i) extends the 5G protocol stacks of OpenAirInterface (OAI) to support RAN slicing; (ii) implements an E2SM-CCC-based Service Model (SM) and xApp for RAN slicing control; and (iii) conducts extensive testing and validation on the Arena and X5G testbeds to ensure the robustness and effectiveness of the implementation.

The ORANSlice framework is shown in the diagram below.

For more details about this framework, visit the ORANSlice GitHub repository.

A tutorial on how to use ORANSlice is available here.
