R7 HARMONIZATION: ONAP/3GPP & O-RAN ALIGNMENT–STANDARDS DEFINED NOTIFICATIONS OVER VES
Key Contacts - Marge Hillis Vimal Begwani Oskar Malm
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -
-This contribution introduces a new domain in VES, stndDefined, which indicates that the event contains data that conforms to format/schema defined by a separate standards organization1. In addition we propose one new field in the VES Common Header to enable further classification of such events, e g to support routing of these events to appropriate DMaaP topics. An optional second stage validation is proposed in DCAE prior to acknowledging the event to enhance trouble shooting.

1) Standards organization is intended to be interpreted in a broader sense than SDO as defined by ITU, to cover also e g joint ventures like 3GPP and open industry fora like the O-RAN Alliance.
Intent-based Network
Key Contacts - Huang ZongHe
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Intent-based Network (IBN) is available to bridge the gap between the business department and IT department. It is able to capture the intents of business sensitively, and then reconfigure the end-to-end network according to the intents momentarily. Normally, the operation of underlay network and related systems are involved when opening or reconfiguring a network service. It needs professionals of different roles to perform a series of complex operations, which also takes a long time. The target of IBN is to establish an extensible framework to identify the users' network requirements based on natural language, allocate appropriate resources with the help of preset business knowledge or self-learning intelligent engine, and then convert them into the operations of network equipment and interface automatically, so as to simplify the operations.

PM Data Control Management
Key Contacts - Michela Bevilacqua , Mark Scott
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -
-PM data collection control provides 5G network operators with a dynamic and more efficient way to configure performance measurement collection on a selected subset of PNFs/VNFs in the network and complements the existing PM data collection and processing capabilities in ONAP/DCAE. An initial version has been delivered in Rel 6 (5G / Bulk PM / PM Control - REQ-129). Planned enhancements for Rel 7 intend to further increase the capability and the dynamicity of this feature.
