INTELLIGENT STATE TRANSITION PROCEDURE FOR RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for state transition of a radio access network (RAN). In example embodiments, a second device obtains a first plan for state transition of a RAN. The first plan is determined based on a first set of state-related metrics of the RAN for first time duration, and the first plan comprises a first expected state of the RAN for a time period. Further, the second device obtains a second set of state-related metrics of the RAN for second time duration shorter than the first time duration and determines, from the first expected state, a target state of the RAN for the time period. The determination of the target state is based on at least one of prioritization associated with the first expected state or the second set of state-related metrics of the RAN.
