The child pages contain impacts, interface and test details for the PCI use case PoC that was completed in Casablanca release

Introduction

• ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF) provides a policy-driven and model-driven framework for creating optimization applications for a broad range of use cases

• For Casablanca, OOF enhancements include formulation and solving of optimization problems

• We propose an OOF enhancement and Proof of Concept (POC) for Casablanca for Physical Cell ID (PCI) Optimization

  • PCI Optimization is a well-understood problem

  • The reading/writing of the Physical Cell ID (PCI) configuration parameter has been included in SDN-C POC work

• The objective of the POC is to demonstrate disaggregation of the PCI SON functionality, and the data flows needed to implement this in ONAP using OOF

• We envision a new PCI-Handler Microservice to facilitate the data flow and trigger mechanism

• The focus of the POC is on data flow and interfaces, and the role of OOF, PCI-Handler-MS, SDN-C Controller and Policy

  - Objective is to incorporate an algorithm in ONAP using OOF, not to develop an algorithm
