This is a proposal for a new Blueprint Species addition to the existing Integrated Cloud Native NFV (ICN) blueprint. The contributors to this blueprint are the same as the original ICN blueprint (with some changes), and we will seek more members to join the blueprint.

Use Case Attributes

Description

Informational

Type

New


Blueprint Family - Proposed   Name

Integrated Cloud Native NFV (ICN)


Use Case

End to end connectivity using Private LTE/5G over the CBRS band 


Blueprint proposed Name

Private LTE/5G ICN blueprint


Initial POD Cost (capex)

Same as ICN — 50K minimum


Scale & Type

Same as ICN — Minimum of 4 Xeon Servers + 1 Xeon server as genesis 


Applications

RAN+Core (initially LTE, eventually 5G), and reuse of existing ICN applications: ML/DL Analytics, EdgeXFoundry and 360 degree Video streaming


Power Restrictions

TBD


Orchestration

Same as ICN —

Infrastructure Orchestration

  • Bare Metal Provisioning :  ironic with Metal3 controlled by Cluster API
  • Kubernetes provisioning :  KuD.
  • Centralized controller:  With Cluster-API
  • Docker for containers and Virtlet for VMs

Service Orchestration : ONAP4K8s

MEC framework: OpenNESS

Site orchestrator :  Kubernetes upstream

Traffic Orchestration within a cluster: ISTIO

Traffic orchestration with external entities : ISTIO-ingress and ISTIO-egress with MCDeployment

Knative for function orchestration


SDN

Same as ICN — OVN, SRIOV, Flannel; additionally Tungsten Fabric


Workload Type

Containers and functions


Additional Details

Our roadmap will be:

  • Private LTE
  • Private 5G Option 5 (i.e. LTE radio + 5GC)
  • Private 5G SA (i.e. 5G ratio + 5GC)

Use cases:

  • Manufacturing
  • Farming
  • Healthcare
  • V2X
  • Others
