| 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. | R8 5G Service Modeling |
| OOF SON Use Case | Optimization and SON functions for 5G RAN which provide for self-optimization, self-healing and self-configuration | |
| ONAP/3GPP & O-RAN Alignment: Standard Defined VES | The capability to receive, validate and process standards defined notifications encapsulated in VES events in ONAP. | 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. | |

MAJOR USE CASES & REQUIREMENTS IN R8 (HONOLULU)
| USE CASE / REQUIREMENT | DESCRIPTION | WIKI LINK |
|---|---|---|
| PNF Plug and Play | The PNF Plug and Play Use Case allows a PNF to register with ONAP using a pnfRegistration VES Event. This is expected to be used for installation & commissioning a network that is to be managed by ONAP. When this event is received, the PNF Registration Handler (PRH) processes this event to complete the registration by updating the corresponding A&AI entry for the expectant PNF. The PRH was developed specifically for this use case. Once registered, ONAP can interoperate with the PNF and perform LCM or FCAPS (OA&M) operations in addition to other actions. This Use Case was originally started in in R2 Beijing and functionality has been continually improved since then. | R8 PNF Plug and Play Use Case |
| Certificate Management Protocol v2 | The Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) is an Internet protocol used for obtaining X.509 digital certificates in a public key infrastructure (PKI). It is described in RFC 4210 and is one of two protocols so far to use the Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF), described in RFC 4211, with the other protocol being Certificate Management over CMS (CMC), described in RFC 5273. An obsolete version of CMP is described in RFC 2510, the respective CRMF version in RFC 2511. CMP messages are encoded in ASN.1, using the DER method and usually transported over HTTP. CMP (Certificate Management Protocol) Server & Client (completed in R6) | |
| Configuration Persistence Service | The Configuration Persistence Service is a Common Data Layer Service providing database functionality to persist network element run-time information. CPS will perform key DB operations such as syncing data with xNFs. CPS enables OSS configuration, optimization and E2E LCM operations. It will be a new Platform Component in R8.
