Abstract

A system includes processing circuitry; and a memory connected to the processing circuitry, wherein the memory is configured to store executable instructions that, in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, facilitate performance of operations to receive, at an open interface predictive and responsive adaptor (OPRA), one or more network device registration requests; send, by the OPRA, one or more configuration requests, based on the one or more network device registration requests, to a fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) application; receive, by the OPRA, one of more network device configurations from a configuration application included in the FCAPS application; and register, by the OPRA, the one of more network devices with the FCAPS application, based on the received one of more network device configurations from the configuration application included in the FCAPS application.

processing circuitry; and

a memory connected to the processing circuitry, wherein the memory is configured to store executable instructions that, in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, facilitate performance of operations to:

receive, at an open interface predictive and responsive adaptor (OPRA) comprising an event handler that supports WebSocket, advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP), Webhooks, and HTTP streaming protocols for event-driven communication, a gRPC adaptor for binary stream protocols, and a REST adaptor that supports NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols, one or more network device registration requests, wherein each of the one or more network device registration requests relates to a corresponding network device, and a position of the corresponding network device is fixed within a geographic region;

send, by the OPRA, one or more configuration requests, based on the one or more network device registration requests, to a fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) application;

receive, by the OPRA, one or more network device configurations from a configuration application included in the FCAPS application; and

register, by the OPRA, the one or more network devices with the FCAPS application, based on the received one or more network device configurations from the configuration application included in the FCAPS application,

wherein the OPRA provides configuration to the one or more network devices based on a state of the one or more network devices, such that in response to a network device being in an operational state, the OPRA provides dynamic configuration via the gRPC adaptor, and in response to the network device being in an onboarding state, the OPRA provides static configuration via the REST adaptor.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the one or more network device registration requests comprises:

receive, at a first representational state transfer (REST) based adaptor included in the OPRA, the one or more network device registration requests that include one or more network functions (NFs) for each network device;

receive, at a second REST based adaptor included in the OPRA, the one or more network device registration requests that include the one or more NFs for the each network device; and

receive, at an event-based adaptor included in the OPRA, the one or more network device registration requests that include the one or more NFs for the each network device.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the sending the one or more configuration requests to the FCAPS application comprises:

send, from the first REST based adaptor, one or more network device types to the configuration application, wherein a network device type identifies operation of the network device type.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the registering by the OPRA, the one or more network devices with the FCAPS application comprises:

register, by the first REST based adaptor, the one or more network device registration requests along with the one or more NFs with an application other than the configuration application of the FCAPS application;

register, by the second REST based adaptor, the one or more network device registration requests along with the one or more NFs with an application of the FCAPS application; and

register, by the event-based adaptor, the one or more network device registration requests along with the one or more NFs with at least one application of the FCAPS application.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, further facilitate performance of operations to:

send, by the OPRA, a group of NFs corresponding to each registered network device to a self-organizing network (SON) application that registers the group of NFs with a real time (RT) radio intelligent controller (RIC).

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, further facilitate performance of operations to:

receive, at the OPRA, a static configuration for one or more network devices operably connected to the OPRA; and

push, by the OPRA, the static configuration to the one or more network devices.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, further facilitate performance of operations to:

stream, by the OPRA, events to the FCAPS application; and

receive, from a SON, an action to be taken based on a fault detection within the events streamed to the FCAPS application.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions in response to being executed by the processing circuitry, further facilitate performance of operations to:

send, by the OPRA, an error correction to one or more network functions based on the action received by the OPRA from the SON.

9 . A method executed by processing circuitry, comprising:

receiving, at an open interface predictive and responsive adaptor (OPRA) comprising an event handler that supports WebSocket, advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP), Webhooks, and HTTP streaming protocols for event-driven communication, a gRPC adaptor for binary stream protocols, and a REST adaptor that supports NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols, one or more network device registration requests;

sending, by the OPRA, one or more configuration requests, based on the one or more network device registration requests, to a fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) application, wherein each of the one or more network device registration requests relates to a corresponding network device, and a position of the corresponding network device is fixed within a geographic region;

receiving, by the OPRA, one or more network device configurations from a configuration application included in the FCAPS application; and
