OOF-PCI
--------
+
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 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

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:
- Generation of neighbor-list-update messages
-
- 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. Setup and testing is done manually up to now.

Test Status and Plans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-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.

+(a) 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.
+(b) For Control Loop Co-ordination, the denial of a second Control Loop based on Target Lock (i.e., when a second Control
+ Loop tries to operate on the same target (in this case, a PNF) is successfully tested. The CLC is also applied at Control
+ Loop level only. However, some code updates are required in Policy to properly update the Operations History DB entry, and
+ to check the existence of active Control Loops by Policy. This will be addressed in Guilin release, and tracked via
+ https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-2581 and https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-2583.
+(c) For Adaptive SON, the functionality in SON-Handler and OOF is implemented, however the OOF functionality is not
+ fully tested (this was anyhow a stretch goal). Further, the DCAE-CL-RSP message is not sent by Policy in Frankfurt release.
+ This is tracked via https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-2580 and shall be part of Guilin release.
