Abstract: Systems and methods of managing PNF connectivity are provided. A NM determines to add to or remove external connectivity from a PNF and transmits a NS update request to a NFVO that contains an identifier of the NS instance to be updated, an indication of a type of update operation requested, and information of the PNF connectivity to be changed. A NS update response contains a lifecycle operation occurrence identifier identifying a NS lifecycle operation occurrence. Separate NS lifecycle change notification from the NFVO indicate that a NS update to change the connectivity of the PNF has started and a result of the change. The notifications include the lifecycle operation occurrence identifier.

Abstract: Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) abstracts network functions, allowing them to be installed, controlled, and manipulated by software running on standardized compute nodes such as cloud computing platform rather than on dedicated hardware. In a 5G mobile communications network, the base station or gNB may be split into virtualized and non-virtualized network functions (NFs). Described herein are systems and methods for managing such gNBs within the NFV framework.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for self-organizing networks (SON) including automatic neighbor relation (ANR) management and physical cell identifier (PCI) configuration aspects are described. A described ANR technique includes enabling, by an ANR management function, a distributed ANR function at a node such as a gNB; receiving, by the ANR management function, a notification from the distributed ANR function indicating a change of a neighbor cell relation in a cell; and performing, by the ANR management function, an action based on the notification. Performing the action can include setting a blacklist of one or more neighbor cell relations, setting a whitelist of one or more neighbor cell relations, or changing one or more attributes of one or more neighbor cell relations.

Abstract: In an example computer-implemented method, a management module receives measurement data from one or more first network modules of a wireless communications network. The measurement data pertains to at least one of establishing one or more communications sessions on the wireless communications network by the one or more first network modules, or modifying one or more communications sessions on the wireless communications network by the one or more first network modules. The management module generates one or more performance metrics based on the measurement data, and transmits the one or more performance metrics to one or more second network modules of the wireless communications network.

Abstract: An apparatus of a management service producer comprises one or more processors to create a measurement job for one or more NFs, NSSIs, NSIs, networks or subnetworks by receiving a CreateMeasurementJob operation request for creating a measurement job for the one or more NFs, NSSIs, NSIs, networks or subnetworks from a consumer, checking if one or more new measurement types need to be collected for the one or more NFs or constituent NSSIs or constituent NFs, requesting the NFs or the management service producer of the constituent NSSIs or constituent NFs to collect the performance data when one or more new measurements types are to be collected for the one or more NFs or constituent NSSIs or constituent NFs. The management service producer allows the consumer to choose the reporting method from performance data file reporting and performance data streaming for the collected performance data in the CreateMeasurementJob operation request.

Abstract: An apparatus of a Network Manager (NM) comprises one or more processors to send a Network Service (NS) update request to a Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator (NFVO) to add external connectivity to a Physical Network Function (PNF) instance or a Virtual Network Function (VNF) instance in an NS instance, to receive an operation result containing a lifecycle operation occurrence identifier from the NFVO, to receive a lifecycle change notification from the NFVO indicating a start of an NS update, and to receive an NS Lifecycle Change notification from the NFVO indicating a result of the NS update. A memory is to store the result of the NS update.
