The cellular internet of things (CIoT) has become an important branch to cater various applications of IoT devices. Within CIoT, the radio resource control (RRC) layer is responsible for fundamental functionalities such as connection control and bearer establishment in radio access network (RAN). The emergence of various IoT scenarios and diversified service requirements have made both RAN slicing and intelligent control imperative requirement in RRC layer. This paper focuses on enhancing standardized capabilities of CIoT RRC layer, by designing and implementing a new architecture which accommodate RRC slicing and intelligent controller. The architecture aims to realize functionalities of creating, modifying, and deleting slices in RRC layer, while the intelligent controller is added to satisfy various and dynamic service requirements of different IoT devices smartly. The proposed architecture is further implemented on an open-source software platform OpenAirInterface (OAI), on top of which the effectiveness of RRC slicing is validated and one proof-of-concept case to adopt reinforcement learning to dynamically tune discontinuous reception parameters therein is presented. Simulation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent RRC slicing architecture.
