Pre-Emptive Conflict Detection Architecture for O-RAN Service Management and Orchestration
This paper proposes an extension to the O-RAN SMO architecture to incorporate a component that can predict when configuration changes are likely to degrade network performance.
Information
The evolution of telecommunications networks from closed to open architectures has led to the development of the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) standard. O-RAN's Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) typically contains multiple autonomic management agents that simultaneously make configuration changes to optimize aspects of the network. Dealing with competing and conflicting configuration changes from these autonomic management agents remains a major issue. This paper proposes an extension to the O-RAN SMO architecture to incorporate a component that can predict when configuration changes are likely to degrade network performance.
