Coordination of connected autonomated vehicles (CAVs) is expected to provide a more efficient sequential route design and enhance safety. This is accomplished by sharing sensor data among roadside equipment and other vehicles. Given the substantial volume of sensor data involved, it is advantageous to employ millimeter-wave (mmWave) band. MmWave offers high-speed and large-capacity for transmission. However, wireless communication systems designed for CAVs face the challenge of radio signal degradation caused by the movement of vehicles. This paper proposes a fast beam tracking Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture for CAVs. The most prominent aspect of this system is its Near-Realtime (Near-RT) RAN Intelli-gent Controller (RIC), which swiftly adjusts and tracks the beam using vehicle information transmitted every 100 msec by CAV. By conducting simulations using Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO), which emulates vehicle movement on various roads, we verified the effective operation of the proposed architecture.
