Note (7/24, N. K. Shankar): We had earlier discussed three PCI optimization scenarios (Flows A, B, C).
For Casablanca, we are now focused on a minimum viable product which is based on Flow B.
The earlier content has been moved to 5G - PCI (Physical Cell ID) Optimization page under OOF R3 Planning.
Introduction
ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF) provides a policy-driven and model-driven framework for creating optimization applications for a broad range of use cases
We propose an OOF enhancement and Proof of Concept (POC) for Casablanca for Physical Cell ID (PCI) Optimization
PCI Optimization is a well-understood problem
The reading/writing of the Physical Cell ID (PCI) configuration parameter has been included in SDN-C POC work
The objective of the POC is to demonstrate disaggregation of the PCI SON functionality, and the data flows needed to implement this in ONAP using OOF
We envision a new PCI-Handler Microservice to facilitate the data flow and trigger mechanism
The focus of the POC is on data flow and interfaces, and the role of OOF, PCI-Handler-MS, SDN-C Controller and Policy
- Objective is to incorporate an algorithm in ONAP using OOF, not to develop an algorithm
Casablanca Plan
Minimum viable product to make incremental progress in ONAP core modules
Develop new PCI Handler microservice and ONAP interfaces and flows needed:
(a) to get the required network data to OOF for optimization
(b) compute an optimization
(c) apply policies
(d) execute it using the Controller
Casablanca test cases involve:
New PCI-Handler-MS (onboarded on DCAE) – interfaces to OOF, Policy, DMaaP
OOF – interfaces to PCI-Handler-MS, Policy, SDN-C, (A&AI?)
Policy – interface to PCI-Handler-MS, OOF, SDN-C
SDN-C – interface to RAN emulator, OOF, Policy, DMaaP
