Topic Description
45 min, Sangeeta Bellara We will present service modelling and deployment of a 5G RAN gNB consisting of CNFs (i.e. CUCP, CUUP and DU) and PNFs (i.e. RU). The planning data for the gNB, such as planned nodes, sites and cells, is stored in AAI at design-time, and during operations, the relations to these objects are created when the gNB is deployed.
Topic Overview
In this presentation, we use ONAP to deploy a RAN 5G gNodeB (consisting of a CUCP, CUUP, DU and RU), as per the RAN planning data stored at design time in AAI.
Before deployment, at design time, RAN Planning data such as planned sites, cells and gNodeBs are created in AAI, and the gNodeB service model is created in SDC.
The gNodeB is deployed using the SO Macro Flow, using the data from RAN Planning.
After deployment, the relation of the gNodeB to the cells and sites is present in AAI.

Agenda
- RAN Planning Data in AAI
- gNodeB Service Model in SDC
- gNodeB Service Order with Processing Priority
- gNodeB Deployment using SO Macro Flow - demo
- Adding a new DU at a later time to a deployed gNodeB - demo
- Contributions done to enable the gNodeB Model
- Addition of Cell object in AAI
- Adding multiple PNF instances in the service order for a single PNF model in SDC
- What is missing in gNodeB
- Adding of a PNF(RU) to a gNodeB after deployment (required for RAN site expansion use case)
- Processing of multiple PNFs in the gNodeB in parallel
