The following page describes the major use cases and key requirements targeted to the Honolulu Release
...
| USE CASE / REQUIREMENT | DESCRIPTION | WIKI LINK |
|---|---|---|
| 5G Service Modeling | Defining and modeling a 5G Service (in Design Time) and the associated Modeling (Platform information & data model). This is driven by 3GPP TS28.540 and TS28.541, the 5G NRM. Development of a concept of a Registry Service used in CPS | R8 5G Service Modeling |
| 5G SON Use Case | Optimization and SON functions for 5G RAN which provide for self-optimization, self-healing and self-configuration | R8 5G SON use case |
| ONAP/3GPP & O-RAN Alignment: Standard Defined VES | The capability to receive, validate and process standards defined notifications encapsulated in VES events in ONAP. VES 7.2 | R8 ONAP/3GPP & O-RAN Alignment: Standard Defined VES |
| End to End Network Slicing | 5G Network Slicing defines slices to be used in 5G RAN systems. Network Slicing is a long-lead multi-release development. | R8 E2E Network Slicing use case |
Smart Operator Intent Translation in UUI based on IBN - R8 5G Slicing Support | A lightweight and high-cohesion Nature Language Processing (NLP) function is proposed to add in the UUI project, in order to translate the network operation engineers’ text/voice intents to the suitable slicing parameters quickly and decrease the manual configurations. | Smart Operator Intent Translation in UUI based on IBN - R8 5G Slicing Support |
| Support for Vertical Industry | Support for Vertical Industry. Intent framework is a system that helps to implement and operate networks that can improve network availability and agility. It takes a high-level business goal (intent) as input, converts it to the necessary network configurations and applies the network changes via network automation and/or network orchestration. Continuously monitoring the status of the network under control, the system validates in real time that the intent is being met, and can take corrective actions when desired intent is not met. | Support for Vertical Industry |
| Intent Based Networking | Support for Intent Framework and Intent Modeling. (add description) | Support for Intent Framework and Intent Modeling |
| ONAP/3GPP & O-RAN Alignment: A1 Adapter and Policy Management Extension | A1 Adapter and Policy Management Extension. This requirement enhances the A1 interface capabilities provided in Rel 6 as part of 5G/ORAN & 3GPP Standards Harmonization requirement ( REQ-38) and extended in Rel 7 with the introduction of A1 policy management. O-RAN has defined A1 interface specification in the context of the management of 5G RAN elements to provide intent based policies for optimization of the RAN network performance. Planned enhancements for Rel 8 include support of new A1 interface version in alignment to O-RAN alliance and common logging/audit. | O-RAN A1 Policies in ONAP (Overall) |
