SON Use Case Montreal Release R13 Requirements : Slide deck: https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/177079424/ONAP_SON_R13_Requirements_20230718.pptx?api=v2
For R13 Montreal, SON Use Case is focused on completing earlier carryover work and updating RAN-Sim.
An overview of the R13 Montreal release enhancements for the SON Use Case is given in the above deck.
The major development work for this release are:
Enhancement for RAN-Sim
- Convert RAN Simulator from docker based deployment to k8s pod deployment.
- Create Helm charts for RAN Simulator and Honeycomb servers.
- Integrate RAN Sim Helm chart with the Integration project.
Processing of CM VES update notifications to update CPS DB
- DMI plug-in enhancements: Registration of cmHandle, conversion of VES msg to AVC msg
- Use Cloud Events format (CNCF) for CPS event messages, e.g. DMI plug-in to NCMP
- Persist the CM change in CPS DB (processed by NCMP)
Documentation of sequence flow for CM initialization and updates aligned with O-RAN architecture
Figure 1 shows the overall architecture of the SON Use Case, with the Montreal release enhancements shown in Figure 2.
For the R13 Montreal release, the plan is to complete the CM Update Notification flow and deploy RAN SIM as part of OOM deployment.
Montreal release global use case requirement:
[REQ-1537] 5G SON use case enhancements for Montreal release - ONAP JIRA
There are two new use case requirements:
1. 5G SON/Automation use case enhancements CPS for Montreal release
[CPS-1713] 5G SON/Automation use case enhancements CPS for Montreal release- ONAP JIRA
[CPS-1407] Update CPS DB based on CM VES message for SON Use Case - ONAP JIRA
Modules: CPS, SDN-C, use existing DCAE VES Collector:
Description: Complete the CM update flow - set up CPS DB, process the CM VES message published by the VES Collector, update CPS DB.
2. Enhancements for RAN-Sim for Montreal release
