BUSINESS DRIVER

This section describes Business Drivers needs.

Executive Summary - 5G RAN physical/logical topology information (SDN-R) Core & RAN elements. 5G Configuration, provisioning of a 5G Network. SDN-R should contain the 5G Network Topology. CM Audit. CM Mediation. CM run-time storage / data persistency (MariaDB). Configuration Management is a major LCM/OAM function with many operations. This use case will be a multi-release effort.

  • CM Audit - Auditing configuration parameters for consistency, accuracy.
  • CM Mediation - Configuration functions to correct and mediate settings.
  • Data Persistency - Storage of run-Time data storage. A configuration database (such as Maria DB) for data persistency and access to configuration informaiton.
  • Topology Management - the configuration and view of a RAN network topology.
  • Standardizing - Harmonizing management between vendors, and alignment to standards bodies such as 3GPP for CM topics.
  • Golden Standard - Managing CM with Golden "Templates" and baselined parameters.

Business Impact - The ability to configure a RAN network (CU/DU) PNF and VNF with ONAP is a critical business function because configuration management is a core LCM/OAM operation.

Business Markets - This use case applies to any domain (wireless, transport, optical, wireline) that ONAP will manage. It is not a market specific function.

Funding/Financial Impacts - This use case represents a large potential OPEX savings for operators because of the ability to configure networks saving time and expenses.

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
