Executive Summary - The Network CM Proxy (NCMP) is a component in CPS that will be responsible for Network CM access and synchronization in order that CPS CM data will be maintained aligned with CM data in the network (e.g. xNF instances). The complete solution will rely on integration with other ONAP components such as SDNC. The Network CM Proxy will also in turn provide an interface to other ONAP applications to access the network CM data.
NCMP is an evolution of the CPS NF Proxy component first introduced in Rel H. For release I it is proposed to continue work on use cases such as initial data synchronization and reading and writing network CM data. Development of this feature is expected to span multiple releases

Executive Summary - This requirement enhances the A1 interface capabilities provided in Rel 6 as part of 5G/ORAN & 3GPP Standards Harmonization requirement ( REQ-38) and extended in Rel 7 with the introduction of A1 policy management. O-RAN has defined A1 interface specification in the context of the management of 5G RAN elements to provide intent based policies for optimization of the RAN network performance. Planned enhancements for Rel 8 include support of new A1 interface version in alignment to O-RAN alliance and common logging/audit.
