Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
-The 5G OOF-PCI use case is an implementation of a SON (Self-Organizing Networks) algorithm for Physical Cell ID (PCI) optimization and the centralized Automatic Neighbor Relations (ANR) function (blacklisting a neighbor for handovers) in a 4G/5G network using the ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF). This use case began with just PCI optimization use case in Casablanca. Further details of Casablanca scope and impacts are described in https://docs.onap.org/en/casablanca/submodules/integration.git/docs/docs_5G_oof_pci.html#docs-5g-oof-pci
+The 5G OOF-PCI use case is an implementation of a SON (Self-Organizing Networks) algorithm
+for Physical Cell ID (PCI) optimization and the centralized Automatic Neighbor Relations
+(ANR) function (blacklisting a neighbor for handovers) in a 4G/5G network using the ONAP
+Optimization Framework (OOF). This use case began with the implementation of PCI
+optimization in Casablanca. In Dublin release, the SON-Handler MS was onboarded asa
+micro-service in DCAE. Enhancements were made to Policy and SDN-C components. Further
+details of Dublin release scope and impacts for this use case are described in:
+https://docs.onap.org/en/dublin/submodules/integration.git/docs/docs_5G_oof_pci.html#docs-5g-oof-pci
+
+In Frankfurt release, the following are the main enhancements:
+
+- Introduction of Control Loop Coordination functionality, wherein a second control loop execution is denied by Policy component when another control loop is in progress.
+
+- Introduction of adaptive SON, wherein a set of cells whose PCI values are fixed (i.e., cannot be changed during PCI optimization) are considered during the PCI optimization.
+
+- In addition, the first step towards O-RAN alignment is being taken with SDN-C (R) being able to receive a DMaaP message containing configuration updates (which would be triggered when a neighbor-list-change occurs in the RAN and is communicated to ONAP over VES).
-For Dublin release, the earlier PCI-Handler MS which was a standalone MS is renamed as SON-Handler MS and onboarded as a micro-service in DCAE. Enhancements were made to Policy and SDN-C. The Config DB functionality (containing configuration details of the RAN), and some of the additions/fixes done to SDN-C are not part of the official Dublin release functionality, but are part of the full use case are only a Proof Of Concept (POC). These code changes in SDN-C are targeted for submission in El Alto release.
+As part of this use case work, a RAN Simulator providing a simulated Radio Access Network
+(RAN) with a number of netconf servers simulating PNF elements has been implemented. The
+functionality of the RAN Simulator includes:
-In addition, the POC also has a RAN Simulator providing a simulated Radio Access Network (RAN) with a number of netconf servers simulating PNF elements. The functionality of the RAN Simulator has also been enhanced from the Casablanca use case to (a) generate alarms for PCI collision/confusion and (b) generate handover metrics for the different neighbor pairs (for the ANR use case).
+- Generation of neighbor-list-update messages
-All details regarding the use case for Dublin can be found here:

+- Generation of alarms for PCI collision/confusion and
+
+- Generation of handover metrics for different neighbor pairs (for the ANR use case).
+
+All above functionality are enabled using a simple UI.

How to Use
~~~~~~~~~~
-The OOF-PCI use case is implemented in the Rutgers University (Winlab) ONAP Wireless Lab (OWL). For details, please see: https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=45298557 .
-This page includes instructions for access to the lab. Since this is a POC at this stage, testing is done manually.

Test Status and Plans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For Dublin release, the OOF-PCI use case is a Proof of Concept (POC). OOF was enhanced with joint PCI-ANR optimization, SON-Handler MS was functionally enhanced and also onboarded on to DCAE, and Policy was also enhanced with a new control loop for ANR and control loop extension to receive feedback of actions. The pairwise testing was done in Windriver lab (https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Integration+Testing). Other non-release functions are all tested as part of the PoC in the Rutgers University (Winlab) ONAP Wireless Lab (OWL). To see information about test plans, please see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Functional+Testing and https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Use+case+testing.
+For Frankfurt release, the enhancements described above were implemented. OOF was enhanced
+with handling cells with fixed PCI values during the optimization, SON-Handler MS was
+functionally enhanced for adaptive SON functionality, SDN-C (R) was enhanced to include
+handling of DMaaP message for config changes in the RAN, and Policy was also enhanced with
+Control Loop Co-ordination function. To see information about test plans, please see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Testing.
Known Issues and Resolutions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-(a) 2 known issues (Medium): CCSDK-1399 and CCSDK-1400
-(b) It is intended to have the RAN Simulator support sufficient Honeycomb netconf server instances to simulate 2000 cells. However, this number may be lower if there are hardware limitatons.
