Management and orchestration; Study on integration of Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) and 3GPP management for 5G networks
The present document studies compatibility of the ONAP management platform architecture and functionality with that of the 5G service-based management architecture being defined in 3GPP TS 28.53x, 28.54x and 28.55x series specifications. The present document is based on ONAP releases up to and including R3 ("Casablanca") and the corresponding APIs and related interfaces.
The scope of the present document includes:
- analysis and comparison of 3GPP and ONAP configuration management mechanisms.
- analysis of how ONAP configuration management mechanisms can be supported in 3GPP.
- analysis and comparison of 3GPP and ONAP alarm management and performance management mechanisms, concentrating on DCAE (Data Collection, Analytics and Events) / Collection Framework event stream and batch data collection on the ONAP side.
- study how notify mechanisms are handled by ONAP DCAE and 3GPP management services.
- study if any gaps exist between the semantics and format of data collected by DCAE and the semantics and format of data produced by both alarm supervision and performance management services.
- analysis of ONAP/3GPP protocol compatibility.
