Figure An.12 - Anomaly Category Example For the RAN Anomaly Management Scenario

This details the AnomalyCategory and associated attributed for a RAN Anomaly Management scenario. The AnomalyCategory is defined using an AnomalyCategorySpecification that in turn captures the key characteristics of the AnomalyCategory through CharacteristicSpecification and AnomalyCharacteristicValue . As it can be noted in the figure there are three characteristics identified to categorize the Anomaly - type, technology and operation. While the characteristics are open for implementation, in the case of RAN Anomaly management, the type indicates the particular network or service domain the Anomaly is applicable (RAN), technology indicate the network technology where the category of anomaly is relevant (5G) and operation indicate the particular operation area (energy management) where the anomaly management is applicable. There can be more creative categorization characteristics based on how the operations of the CSP is organized.<br/>
