Description

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)

BUSINESS DRIVER

This section describes Business Drivers needs.

Executive Summary - This use case introduces 5G Network Topology Management. The Topology is the representation of the NEs (xNFs) within a network. The efficient representation, management, and manipulation of elements within a network allow for operators to efficiently operate and visualize their networks.

• Topology Management - the configuration and view of a RAN network topology.

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.
