For Casablanca release, there are enhancements for OOF, and all the other aspects of the full use case are only a Proof Of Concept (POC). +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 -As part of non-release impacting functionality, there are code additions in Policy and SDN-C. There is a new stand-alone PCI Handler microservice. These are all targeted for submission to Dublin release. 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. +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. + +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). + +All details regarding the use case for Dublin can be found here: +https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/OOF-PCI+Use+Case+-+Dublin+Release+-+ONAP+based+SON+for+PCI+and+ANR + +The main use case page is https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+-+OOF+%28ONAP+Optimization+Framework%29+and+PCI+%28Physical+Cell+ID%29+Optimization -All details regarding the use case can be found here: -https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+-+OOF+%28ONAP+Optimization+Framework%29+and+PCI+%28Physical+Cell+ID%29+Optimization 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. -For all instructions about installing the components and test plans, please see the main use case page: -https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+-+OOF+%28ONAP+Optimization+Framework%29+and+PCI+%28Physical+Cell+ID%29+Optimization +For all instructions about installing the components and test plans, please see: + +https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Installation+Aspects +Son-handler installation - https://onap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submodules/dcaegen2.git/docs/sections/services/son-handler/installation.html + Test Status and Plans ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -For Casablanca release, the OOF-PCI use case is only a Proof of Concept (POC). OOF was enhanced with a PCI interface & Solver, and pairwise testing with ConfigDB API was done in Windriver lab. 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/POC+Test+aspects +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. Known Issues and Resolutions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Due to server capacity limit, the RAN Simulator is currently limited to 27 Honeycomb netconf server instances and 350 cells. The plan is to install more server capacity to test up to 2000 cells. +(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. |
