  • All planned services are online, providing FCAPS data through the relevant channels
  • RAN NOC personnel have full access to the FCAPS data and ONAP automation framework
    • Dashboard displays relevant RAN data
    • Calculation and monitoring of key performance indicators is activated, used to verify the capacity requirements
  • A first automation use case reacting on an incident or state change has been implemented

Steps

(Oskar M.) More sequences diagrams to added to steps below. Diagram in step 3 needs some more details.

Step 1: Service design

  • Onboard SW packages, descriptors and any other artefacts provided by the RAN vendor
  • Design RAN-level templates, recipes and workflows covering common network elements, transport network, data collection and analytics, policies and corrective actions
  • Design node-level templates, recipes and workflows covering network elements (PNFs and VNFs), transport network, placement or QoS constraints, data collection and analytics, policies and corrective actions
  • Distribute the completed design as well as vendor-provided artefacts to the various run-time components.

...

(Oskar M.) General ONAP question: The diagram below is modeled based on some other ONAP use cases. Why is there a service instantation request towards SO, but no corresponding requests towards DCAE or Policy to instantiate/activate analytics blueprints or policy rules for this particular service instance?

Step 4: Add nodes

This step refers to deployment of services and functions defined by templates, recipes and workflows in step 1 for a new 5G node.

  • A sub-flow includes the onboarding process for related PNFs.
  • In this step node-specific data from planning is also inserted.
  • On receiving request, SO and controllers will decompose the request, and allocate and connect the various resources.
  • DCAE will start fault, performance, and log data collection as described during design time.
  • DCAE will perform data analytics as configured in recipes, to monitor the environment and detect anomalous conditions. Output from analytics is forwarded to Policy and dashboard.

Step 5: Verify operation

  • Verify that service is provided and can be monitored through dashboard using basic observability data and calculated KPIs.
