1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
register a particular Service-Based Interface (“SBI”) with a core network, wherein the core network maintains information associating the device with the particular SBI;
receive, via an R1 interface in an Open Radio Access Network (“O-RAN”) environment, a first request for core network information associated with the core network;
identify a particular set of Network Functions (“NFs”), of the core network, from which the core network information is available;
request the core network information, associated with the core network, from the particular set of NFs of the core network,
wherein requesting the core network information includes indicating the particular SBI to the particular set of NFs of the core network,
wherein the particular set of NFs of the core network provide the requested core network information to the device via the registered particular SBI based on the particular SBI being indicated in the request; and
provide, via the R1 interface and to one or more elements of the O-RAN environment, the core network information received via the particular SBI, wherein the one or more elements of the O-RAN environment modify one or more configuration parameters of the O-RAN environment based on the provided core network information.
