Figure An.10 - Mind Map Representing 5G RAN Anomaly Management High Level Structure

This Mind Map diagram shows an example structure of an Anomaly entity based on the associated AnomalySpecification. The scenario depicts the case of 5G RAN Anomaly Management wherein asset of predefined KPIs associated with 5G RAN are monitored and once anomaly in the KPI values are observed in the reference period an anomaly management process is carried out. In the example scenario, the anomaly management is initiated with the objective of keeping under control the energy utilization of the RAN without compromising customer satisfaction. So the mitigation actions initiated by the Anomaly management process need to consider these factors before initiating the mitigation actions. It should be noted that the objective of initiating anomaly management may vary and this may depend on scenario like whether to control the energy utilization, resource optimization, improve customer experience indicators etc. Typically such objectives are driven by a goal that is expressed through the associated control loop. The control loop logic may decide at runtime the potential consequences and associated selection criteria.<br/>
