    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing performance data streaming procedures are described. A MnS producer for measurement control receives a request to start or stop measurement collection indicating the measurements are reported by streaming, configures a NF to respectively start or stop collection of measurements and provides an indication of a result of starting or stopping the measurement collection. A MnS producer for performance data streaming, in response to reception of a request to set up streaming information sends a request to establish, add, or update a streaming connection for performance data streaming and receives an indication of a result of the request. In response to reception of a request to terminate the streaming, the MnS producer for performance data sends a request to terminate the streaming connection, or delete or update the stream information dependent on the functionality of the connection and the streams of the connection.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of re-configuring PCI values for a NR cell and performing mobility robustness optimization are described. To reconfigure the PCI values. The NRM data and the PCI of candidate cells measurements are analyzed to detect a potential PCI collision or PCI confusion among NR cells. In response to detection of the potential PCI collision or confusion, a new PCI value for at least one NR cell is determined and instructions to re-configure the at least one NR cell with the new PCI value are sent to a producer of provisioning MnS. For MRO, a NF provisioning MnS with modifyMOIAttributes operation to configure MRO targets for an MRO function and to enable the MRO function for a NR cell are consumed, as is a performance assurance MnS with a notifyFileReady or reportStreamData operation to collect MRO-related performance measurements. The measurements are analyzed to evaluate MRO performance.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of supporting RACH optimization and monitoring of UP packet delay performance are described. During RACH optimization, a NF provisioning MnS with modify MOIAttributes operation to configure targets for RACH optimization and a NF provisioning MnS with modifyMOIAttributes operation are separately consumed to enable a RACH optimization function for a NR cell. After this, a performance assurance MnS with notifyFileReady or reportStreamData operation is consumed to collect RACH optimization-related measurements for the NR cell and RACH performance data of the RACH optimization-related measurements analyzed to evaluate RACH optimization performance for the NR cell. During monitoring of UP packet delay performance, raw performance measurements related to UP packet delay based on at least one of NG-RAN measurement results or time stamps in GTP packets are obtained from a NG-RAN or UPF, UP packet delay performance measurements are generated. UP packet delay performance could be optimized based on the performance measurements.

    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for management data analytics (MDA) for a wireless cellular network. The MDAS producer receives the raw data, classifies and analyses the raw data to generate the analytics output. The MDA process may be supported by machine learning techniques, and performed by a MDA service producer and assisted by a MDA service consumer. For example, the MDA service producer may receive training data from the MDA service consumer, and train a machine learning model based on the training data. The MDA service producer may apply the trained machine learning model to the raw data that are associated with network functions (e.g., self-organizing network (SON) functions) to generate output data that indicates a conflict between the network functions and a recommended action to address the conflict. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for orchestration and configuration of end-to-end network slices across a 3GPP core network and ORAN are described. The network includes a NSMF that receives an AllocateNSI operation with attributes to allocate an NSI. The AllocateNSI operation includes an attributeListIn parameter that specifies network slice properties in a ServiceProfile to be supported by the NSI. The NSMF determines that a new NSI is to be created rather than using an existing NSI and that the new NSI is to contain a NSSI (RAN) and a NSSI (CN). The NSMF communicates with a NSSMF (RAN) and NSSMF (CN) to create the new NSI. The new NSI includes an O-CU-CP, O-CU-UP and O-DU VNFs, and an O-RU PNF for the NSSI (RAN), and UPF, AMF, and SMF VNFs for the NSSI (CN).
