1- Brief Project Overview (brief as it should be known)
The objective of this case is to develop an ONAP-based SON platform using the ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF). The use case focuses on the various information models and flows/interfaces between components to enable various SON functions to be realized. It also focuses on platform enhancements such as enhancements to the Control Loop framework (e.g., Control Loop Co-ordination, different types of targets for Control Loops, etc.), enabling ML-based SON, etc.
SON (Self-Organizing Networks) functionality is an essential part of existing 4G mobility 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 (new name for OOF-PCI) use case 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.
