Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for a Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Non-RT RIC) of a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) entity of an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry, wherein to configure the Non-RT RIC for allocation of network slice subnet instance (NSSI) resources in the O-RAN, the processing circuitry is to:
collect performance measurements related to usage of the NSSI resources;
train an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) model based on the performance measurements; and
optimize the allocation of the NSSI resources at a particular time and a particular O-RAN node of the O-RAN, the particular time and the particular O-RAN node determined by an inference of the AI/ML model; and

a memory coupled to the processing circuitry and configured to store the performance measurements.
