OOF-SON A1 ORAN & ONAP Coordination - SON U/C - actions ONAP & ORAN Interface. Harmonization. Discussions using SDN-R for O1 I/F. Aspects of U/C done by Near-RT RIC by A1 e.g. (new A1P parameters) USE CASE for neighbor relations: Network to identify nbrs w/ poor hand-offs. To work out how ONAP & ORAN work together. Take part of existing U/C show how it fits w/ A1 I/F. SON branching out A1 adaptor & SDN-R. WG2 A1 (WG3 Near RT RIC). ONAP U/CR 5G Call. krishna moorthy - NearRT RIC to terminate s-bound A1-Link. Nokia OSC NearRT RIC. To introduce new parameters. The A1 link itself is agnostic to the use case. On either end you would need a Driver, existing SON micro-services. Southbound need something to Receive the policy something (simulator) of NearRT RIC. xApp plug-in. Semi-standardized use cases as requirements drivers. New SON case doesn't need to go through standards. Don't need to standardize every use case. If need for multi-vendor. Demo concept, then show need for standardize.
AP = Application Protocol - ORAN.WG2.A1AP (DOCX) - defines the REST interface to query policy types, create policy instances. CRUD operations of policy instances. Policy type agnostic. The spec that defines the management of A1 Policies.
TP = Type Definitions - ORAN.WG2.A1TP (DOC) Define a particular A1 Policy Type reuse across Use Cases. Policy types are examplar. Defines different types, and the usage of the actual A1 Policy and information for that.
