Abstract
There is provided a method of operating an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) having an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU) and an O-RU controller. The method includes sending, from the O-RU to the O-RU controller, (i) a message informing that the O-RU supports a feature such as (a) a plurality of delay management profiles, and/or (b) a plurality of transmission window sizes, and (ii) a report of capabilities of the O-RU, where the report includes a parameter such as (a) a quantity of supported delay management profiles, (b) supported window sizes for each of the plurality of delay management profiles, and/or (c) a supported window offset for each of the plurality of delay management profiles. The O-RU controller configures the O-RU based on the feature and the parameter.
