The Base PCI (SON) Wiki is at: 5G - OOF and PCI (Casablanca carry-over items)
...
Two Jira carry over items in SDN-C
R6 Frankfurt development
(1) PCI ENHANCEMENTS
Support the Runtime DB work, and integrate Runtime DB with SDN-C, SON-Handler MS and OOF.
Stretch Goals:
Complete the loop, when a new cell is added A&AI update, SO W/F.
Assign a PCI for the new cell (not considered in R4).
New Cell Additions, go through the entire life cycle; cell addition; nbr list update.
(2) NEW SON U/C
Stretch Goal: Additional SON U/C.
(3) INTEGRATION WITH REAL SYSTEMS
SDN-R integration with a real DU. Evolving model to align with ORAN
(4) CONTROL LOOP CO-ORDINATION (CLC)
CLC to be demonstrated when PCI and ANR control loops 'interfere' with each other.
(5) OPTIMIZATION ENHANCMENTS - AI/ML
Determining solution for PCI using AI/ML algorithm
...
1. Functional enhancements:
- Onboard RAN-Simulator as an official ONAP component (e.g., as part of Demo VNFs repo or Integration test repo),
- Contribute to ConfigDB (or RuntimeDB) enhancements for SON use case (including any impacts in SON-Handler MS, OOF and SDN-C)
2. Alignment with O-RAN
- Netconf config (O1-CM interface), yang model sourced from OIM
- VES messages for config-update notifications also
3. Control Loop Co-ordination (CLC)
Demonstrate CLC with PCI and ANR CLs
4. Optimization feature enhancements (stretch goal)
Incorporate AI/ML
