Radio Access Network Optimization
...
A Service Provider (SP) must, in real-time, optimize the performance of the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN). This optimization may be effected via dynamic configuration of relevant 5G radio and backhaul network parameters. Such optimization is part of the so-called “Self-Organized Networking” or SON. ONAP will enable the design and implementation of an open SON ecosystem for 5G RAN optimization by providing a common open framework that (a) enables multiple SON vendors to implement their SON solutions on the same network and (b) provides facilities for managing and coordinating the concurrent application of multiple independently developed and deployed SON algorithms, avoiding or resolving conflicts that might arise.
