Question: In optimizing slice coverage for a 3rd party slice tenant in a 5G network, which of the following inputs is NOT directly utilized by Management Data Analytics (MDA) to adjust Radio Access Network (RAN) parameters?
Option 1: Slice-aware statistics (e.g., slice-UE distributions and mobility patterns)
Option 2: Slice Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements
Option 3: Base station hardware upgrade schedules
Option 4: Access node capabilities (e.g., transmission power, antenna types)
Explanation: While base station planning and deployment are crucial for determining available radio coverage, "base station hardware upgrade schedules" is not an input that MDA directly utilizes to optimize slice coverage and adjust RAN parameters in real-time. In contrast, slice-aware statistics, slice SLA, and access node capabilities are all directly relevant to the dynamic optimization of slice coverage as described, allowing for the adjustment of cell configurations to meet desired coverage objectives with minimal cell usage.
