Abstract

The SELFNET project provides an autonomic network management framework for 5G networks with a high degree of automation, self-healing and self-optimization. These capabilities are achieved through a layered architecture and a use-case driven approach. A differentiating feature on SELFNET is its competence when creating and customizing new use cases and their related virtual functions. In this way, the use case operators are able to introduce new rules and parameters that will be taken into account in the analysis and decision-making tasks. Due these characteristics, the orchestration of its analytical functions poses an important challenge in terms of configurability, synchronization and management of resources. In order to contribute to their resolution, this paper aims to lay the groundwork for implement the design and specification of the SELFNET Analyzer orchestration. To this end, several key issues related with the internal coordination of the analytics are introduced, among them initial assumptions, design principles, limitations, partitioning of the analysis process, data persistency and optimization. The proposed orchestration strategy has been implemented with different uses cases within the SELFNET Project.
