Reshmasree | 8efc17e | 2019-06-18 16:24:27 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 11 | The 5G OOF-PCI use case is an implementation of a SON (Self-Organizing Networks) algorithm for Physical Cell ID (PCI) optimization and the centralized Automatic Neighbor Relations (ANR) function (blacklisting a neighbor for handovers) in a 4G/5G network using the ONAP Optimization Framework (OOF). This use case began with just PCI optimization use case in Casablanca. Further details of Casablanca scope and impacts are described in https://docs.onap.org/en/casablanca/submodules/integration.git/docs/docs_5G_oof_pci.html#docs-5g-oof-pci |

Reshmasree | 8efc17e | 2019-06-18 16:24:27 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 13 | For Dublin release, the earlier PCI-Handler MS which was a standalone MS is renamed as SON-Handler MS and onboarded as a micro-service in DCAE. Enhancements were made to Policy and SDN-C. The Config DB functionality (containing configuration details of the RAN), and some of the additions/fixes done to SDN-C are not part of the official Dublin release functionality, but are part of the full use case are only a Proof Of Concept (POC). These code changes in SDN-C are targeted for submission in El Alto release. |

Reshmasree | 8efc17e | 2019-06-18 16:24:27 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 15 | In addition, the POC also has a RAN Simulator providing a simulated Radio Access Network (RAN) with a number of netconf servers simulating PNF elements. The functionality of the RAN Simulator has also been enhanced from the Casablanca use case to (a) generate alarms for PCI collision/confusion and (b) generate handover metrics for the different neighbor pairs (for the ANR use case). |

| 23 | How to Use |
| 24 | ~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 25 | The OOF-PCI use case is implemented in the Rutgers University (Winlab) ONAP Wireless Lab (OWL). For details, please see: https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=45298557 . |
| 26 | This page includes instructions for access to the lab. Since this is a POC at this stage, testing is done manually. |

| 35 | Test Status and Plans |
| 36 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Reshmasree | 8efc17e | 2019-06-18 16:24:27 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 37 | For Dublin release, the OOF-PCI use case is a Proof of Concept (POC). OOF was enhanced with joint PCI-ANR optimization, SON-Handler MS was functionally enhanced and also onboarded on to DCAE, and Policy was also enhanced with a new control loop for ANR and control loop extension to receive feedback of actions. The pairwise testing was done in Windriver lab (https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Integration+Testing). Other non-release functions are all tested as part of the PoC in the Rutgers University (Winlab) ONAP Wireless Lab (OWL). To see information about test plans, please see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Functional+Testing and https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Use+case+testing. |

| 40 | Known Issues and Resolutions |
| 41 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Reshmasree | 8efc17e | 2019-06-18 16:24:27 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 42 | (a) 2 known issues (Medium): CCSDK-1399 and CCSDK-1400 |
| 43 | (b) It is intended to have the RAN Simulator support sufficient Honeycomb netconf server instances to simulate 2000 cells. However, this number may be lower if there are hardware limitatons. |
