Abstract

This PoC Project describes the use of an intent-driven approach for Energy Saving in the radio network domain. The PoC aims to demonstrate:

1) How an intent-driven approach used by a NOP (as MnS consumer/intent owner) to express the RAN energy saving expectation (including energy efficiency targets and user experience targets) to a NEP (as MnS producer/intent handler/intent management entity).

2) How the NOP monitors the RAN energy saving effects, by obtaining a detailed intent report (e.g. regarding energy consumption) from NEP.

(Note: NOP - Network Operator; NEP - Network Equipment Provider) The implementation of the solution of this PoC complies with the 3GPP and the ZSM specifications. The design architecture of the use case follows ZSM 002 (ZSM framework), and uses the intent-driven management service (including intent management operations and intent information model) defined in 3GPP TS 28.312.
