Private LTE/5G ICN Blueprint

Use Case Attributes

Description

Informational

Type

New

Blueprint Family

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 : ONAP with AF integration

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

Additional platform component: Open source UPF

SDN

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

Workload Type

Containers and functions

Additional Details

Our roadmap will be:

• Private LTE

With MICN as the basis for this,  my colleagues and I at Intel will help in following:

• MICN integration

• SD-EWAN CNF

• OVN-for-K8s-NFV network controller

• ONAP

Will work with other team members in adding new controllers in ONAP to auto program the UPF & adjacent gateway micro-service to steer the traffic to locally offloaded applications.
