ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROCESSING LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA IN OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

An electronic device configured to operate as a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) of an open RAN is disclosed. The electronic device may comprise: a communication interface including a communication circuit configured to support an E2 interface; and a processor operatively connected to the communication interface. The processor may store a routing table for managing connectivity between a first application and a plurality of RAN nodes configured to communicate with the RIC through the E2 interface, detect overload of the first application, create a second application configured to perform the same function as that of the first application, update the routing table so as to include connectivity between at least one RAN node of the plurality of RAN nodes and the second application, and cause the communication interface to deliver messages from the plurality of RAN nodes to the first application and the second application by using the updated routing table.
