Use Case Title | 5G Service Modeling and Creation |
Actors (and System Components) | ONAP, gNB. |
Description | This use case will lay the groundwork to introduce and open the discussion with the modeling sub-committee for the platform information modeling work to allow ONAP to integrate with a real "live" 5G DU Base station (PNF) The RAN (wireless) 5G base station network resource model is driven by the 3GPP standard: TS28.540 and TS28.541, the 5G NRM. This standard is used by all 5G vendors for their PNFs (DUs) which serves as a starting point to think about modeling work as it is common to all vendors. ONAP will not necessarily need to know or work with all of the ~300 parameters described in the standard, but rather should introduce a common "core" model into the ONAP platform release information model, so that other future use cases and applications can introduce model information in an orderly fashion. In R7, the OOF/SON/PCI and End-to-End Network Slicing use cases will leverage the work to introduce this common "core" model. Note that, these use cases ARE domain specific, to network wireless / radio access networks. So some thought should be given as to how to introduce domain-specific modeling into ONAP such that it can still serve many other domains with full functionality given to each of those domains. |

Description | The purpose of this use case is to introduce the necessary changes into the ONAP platform architecture so that it can be prepared to accept and work with a real live 5G RAN DU (for a gNB). Presently, this may mean introducing a generic application model defined in CDS. This model would then integrate the 3GPP 5G NRM so that ONAP components and micro-services could access the information in a 3GPP format without needing to overhaul the Platform Information Model. |

Attributes | |
Relationships | RUN TIME - (SO, CDS, PRH). PNFs that need to be instantiated in 5G Services (associated resources for a service). RUN TIME - (OOF SON PCI Use Case) - The PCI Micro-service will need the PCI values in the 5G NRM. |
Originator | Where does this information come from? (What component initially creates it) The PNF or VNF will generate (and own) the information. This information is created outside of ONAP. The information is used by the micro-services. For example the OOF SON PCI Micro-service will use the repository of 5G Data from the C&PS Database.
|
| Consumers | Who uses this information inside & outside of ONAP? How do they use it? RUN TIME - (OOF SON PCI Use Case) - The PCI Micro-service will need the PCI values in the 5G NRM. RUN TIME - (E2E Network Slicing Use Case) - Slicing models, objects and parameters from 5G NRM (TS28.541) Includes description of information consumed (whole class, specific attributes, etc) The following table shows the E2E NS parameters & classes needed:

Producers | Who updates this information inside of ONAP? ANSWER: A user would load the Generic Application Model. CDS would update this information inside of ONAP. A user would specify a domain specific model to use. Under what conditions do they update it? ANSWER: In design time, if the designer determined that a resource will be using the Generic Application Model, they can choose to update it with a domain specific model. The detailed description of information (classes, attributes) can be obtained in the 3GPP TS28.541 standards that can be retrieved from the links above. |
Steward | Where will this information stored and maintained? ANSWER: This model information would become a part of the CDS repository. During design time, CDS would be used to load a domain specific model |
| Impacted APIs & Schemas | ANSWER: With the Generic Application Model Solution, CDS Platform component will need to be updated and its APIs may be impacted. CDS would load the Generic Application Model and populate it with a standard defined model, for example, the 3GPP 5G NRM. CDS would have an impacted ONAP schemas & API updated |
