Monitoring Virtualized Telco Services for Multisided Platforms with SQL-like Query
Résumé
The Telco ecosystem transformation towards
cloud-native network services enables constructing
an integrative platform business model in
the form of a Multi-Sided Platform (MSP) leveraging
microservice-based Virtualized Network Function
architecture. In particular, MSP based architectures
enable a multi-organizational ecosystem
with increased automation possibilities for carriergrade
services creation and operations. We present
a microservice-based monitoring system for virtualized
Telco services based on OpenAirInterface (OAI)
with an SQL-like query manager for metrics. We
demonstrate two monitoring scenarios: (1) Average
receiving (rx) PDU in bytes at MAC layer from the
targeted user equipment (UE). (2) Finding the UE
who consumes the most Physical Resource Blocks
(PRB) within a specific time interval for the uplink
and downlink transmission.
