|---|
Executive Summary: 5G Network Slicing is one of the key features of 5G. The essence of Network Slicing is in sharing network resources (PNFs, VNFs, CNFs) while satisfying widely varying and sometimes seemingly contradictory requirements to different customers in an optimal manner. Same network is expected to provide different Quality of Experience to different consumers, use case categories and industry verticals including factory automation, connected home, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, remote healthcare, in-stadium experience and rural broadband. An End-to-End Network Slice consists of RAN, Transport and Core network slice sub-nets. This Use Case intends to demonstrate the modeling, orchestration and assurance of a simple network slice (e.g. eMBB). While 3GPP standards are evolving and 5G RAN and core are being realized, this Use Case will start with realizing an E2E Network Slice with a simple example of a 5G RAN, Core and Transport Network Slice sub-nets. It will also align with relevant standard bodies (e.g., 3GPP, ETSI, TM Forum) as well as other open initiatives such as O-RAN where relevant, w.r.to both interfaces as well as the functional aspects.

OOF-SON: 5G Self-Organizing Network (SON) using ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF)
Slides presented in the March 16th 2020 Requirements Sub-committee call |
|---|
Executive Summary: SON (Self-Organizing Networks) functionality is an essential part of 4G networks, and will be even more critical for 5G. SON enables automation to improve network performance and efficiency, improve user experience, and reduce operational expenses and complexity. The objective of the OOF SON use cases is to develop an ONAP-based SON platform using the ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF). We have taken a phased approach since SON is complex, and SON for 5G is still evolving. We started with the Physical Cell Identity (PCI) optimization SON use case in Casablanca, and added centralized Automated Neighbor Relations (ANR) aspects in Dublin. In Frankfurt, we included adaptive SON functionality, took initial steps in O-RAN alignment and collaborated with Policy Control Loop Co-ordination (CLC). For Guilin, we will align with ORAN interfaces, be the early adopter of the new Runtime Config DB (e.g. generate DB schemas and APIs based on yang models), cover SON-related workflow for new cell addition, introduce another SON use case to add new platform capabilities, and collaborate on further extensions to CLC. We will also pursue alignment with industry trends for open interfaces & open models for RAN interactions, in particular with O-RAN.
