Below is the image along with its functional explanation, its self explanatory.
To make it easy to understand, I have split the summary in 4 key aspects i.e. as below
Explanation: Ex
Inter-working: In
Use: Use
Orchestration: Orch
So lets go from North to South to understand each terms
OSS/BSS (CSMF)
Ex: Systems for customer & service Mgmt.
In : Interfaces customer systems with service Orch.
Use: Controls Orch, billing, & customer Mgmt.
E2E Mgmt & Orch
Ex / In : Central Mgmt control for coordinating multi-domain Orch.
Use: Orchestrates multi-domain service operations.
AI/ML Service Assurance & Analytics
Ex: AI-driven assurance for performance & predictive analytics.
In : coordinating with Analytics & Orch.
Use: Automates service assurance & predictive maintenance.
E2E Inventory
Ex: Centralized system tracking all network resources & assets.
In : Tracks resources across all network domains.
Use: Ensures real-time resource availability.
Network Slice Mgmt Function (NSMF)
Ex: Responsible for managing network slices
In : Allocates network slices across domains.
Use: Enables dedicated network slices for all use cases.
RAN Domain Orchestration (DO)
Ex / In: Manages / orchestrates the 4G/5G RAN domain, elements & resources.
Use: Optimizes RAN connectivity for gNB & Open RAN.
Transport & Access DO
Ex / In: Controls transport N/W elements connecting core, RAN & access domains
