28.1003GPPLevels of autonomous networkManagement and orchestrationRelease 17TS

Level 1 for Fault Management: The 3GPP management system has the following autonomy capabilities:

– Execute the network recovery actions (including reset the hardware/software, switch to the backup hardware, rollback to the backup software/firmware) with corresponding network elements based on the specified fault recovery control information.

– Obtain fault related data (including alarms, events, signaling data, performance data, configuration data and environment data) based on specified collection control information.

– Filter the alarms based on the specified filtering control information.

Level 2 for Fault Management: The 3GPP management system has the following autonomy capabilities:

– Identify the fault based on specified fault recognition control information.

– Demarcate the fault type and corresponding affected managed object (e.g. NE) based on specified fault demarcation control information.

Level 3 for Fault Management: The 3GPP management system has the following autonomy capabilities:

– Analyse the root cause of the network fault based on specified fault root cause analysis control information.

– Analyse and generate the recommended fault recovery mechanism and determine the fault recover actions to be executed based on specified fault recovery mechanism analysis and decision control information.

– Predict the potential fault.

Level 4 for Fault Management: The 3GPP management system has the following autonomy capabilities:

– Generate or update fault management control information according to fault management intent based on specified intent translation control information.

– Evaluate fault management intent fulfilment based on specified intent evaluation control information.

Level 5 for Fault Management: The 3GPP management system has the following autonomy capabilities:

– Generate the fault management intent translation and evaluation control information.
