abstract
The fifth generation (5G) of wireless networks must simultaneously support heterogeneous service categories, including Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), each with distinct Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Meeting these demands under limited spectrum resources requires adaptive and standards-compliant radio resource management. We present DORA (Dynamic O-RAN Resource Allocation), a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for dynamic slice-level Physical Resource Block (PRB) allocation in Open RAN. DORA employs a PPO-based RL agent to allocate PRBs across URLLC, eMBB, and mMTC slices based on observed traffic demands and channel conditions. Intra-slice PRB scheduling is handled deterministically via round-robin among active UEs, simplifying control complexity and improving training stability. Unlike prior work, DORA supports online training and adapts continuously to evolving traffic patterns and cross-slice contention. Implemented in the standards-compliant OpenAirInterface (OAI) RAN stack and designed for deployment as an O-RAN xApp, DORA integrates seamlessly with RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs). Extensive evaluation under congested regimes shows that DORA outperforms three non-learning baselines and a \texttt{DQN} agent, achieving lower URLLC latency, higher eMBB throughput with fewer SLA violations, and broader mMTC coverage without starving high-priority slices. To our knowledge, this is the first fully online DRL framework for adaptive, slice-aware PRB allocation in O-RAN.
