| Use Case Blueprint | Key Updates | Benefits |
| 5G SON | Key updates for 5G SON use case include: - Modification of RAN control loop flows so that we have specific control loop flows for O1-based and A1-based RAN actions. This includes changes in Policy, SDN-R, SON-Handler MS, and RAN-Sim.
- Enhancement of RAN-Sim to support A1-based action with new modules for (a) A1 Termination, (b) ran-app to provide xApp/Near-RT RIC abstraction. The A1 Termination is harmonized with OSC work, and the ran-app has an interface to the RAN-Sim controller and simulated RAN NFs.
- Modification of Control Loop message formats and policies to direct O1 and A1 flows appropriately
| More alignment with O-RAN for use of O1 and A1 interfaces. Enhancements which preserve value of existing work. |
E2E Network Slicing
| The key updates for E2E network slicing in Kohn release include: - Slice Analysis MS enhancement to support real-time intent listening using DCAE SDK dmaap-client lib
- KPI Computation MS enhancement to support new KPI reporting to UUI, KPIs spanning multiple resources and error handling for missing counter
- Contribution to DCAE R11 Global requirements
| Enhanced and robust KPI computation. Support for IBN based slicing in future releases.
