Integration Test of Closed Loop in Honolulu

Jira reference: REQ-635: Integration Test of Close Loop in E2E Network Slicing Use CaseDone

Test lab: CMCC Lab for CL_01 - CL_04, and Winlab for CL_05 - CL_18

Summary: Except for some minor aspects on SDN-R ↔ RAN-Sim interface (most likely fix is required in RAN-Sim), all other aspects are tested.

CL_01

KPI Computation

Creation of suitable policies for KPI computation - formulas, PM data items, etc.

CL_02

KPI Computation

KPI computation MS fetches of relevant policies: Formulas and PM data items by KPI Computation MS

Completed



CL_03

KPI Computation

KPI Computation MS fetches PM data from DMaaP (posted by PM Mapper). Note: For this test case, we should have a simulator that sends PM data based on which PM Mapper then posts on DMaaP, alternatively, PM Mapper output should be manually posted (simulated) on DMaaP.

CL_05

Closed Loop

RAN-Sim sends PM data fileReadyNotification to VES-Collector for RAN PM data

CL_06

Closed Loop

DataFileCollector reads the VES notification, fetches the PM xml file from RAN Simulator (SFTP) and posts in data router

CL_08

Closed Loop

Slice Analysis MS triggers Control Loop action towards Policy for throughput update at Near-RT RIC level based on analysis of DL/UL PRB used for data traffic for each S-NSSAI

CL_09

Closed Loop

Upon reception of CL action from Slice Analysis MS, Policy triggers SO (RAN NSSMF) for reconfiguration of RAN resources.

@Ahila P

COMPLETED



CL_10

Closed Loop

Upon CL trigger from Policy, SO (RAN NSSMF) triggers SDN-R for updating the throughput per Near-RT RIC.

1

To be checked

@Ahila P

COMPLETED



CL_11

Closed Loop

Upon receiving the reconfiguration trigger from SO, SDN-R sends the config updates to RAN-Sim (Near-RT RIC) successfully.

@Ahila P

DEFERRED

Some minor aspects on SDN-R ↔ RAN-Sim interface needs to be fixed (most likely on RAN-Sim side). This will be done in Istanbul.

CL_12

Intelligent Slicing

PM data on PDU sessions requested, setup successfully and failed to setup reported by RAN-Sim (in a file) are posted on DMaaP via VES Collector
