Ericsson Optimization Intent Manager rApp

Align optimization actions with operator priorities by evaluating performance trade-offs on each cell and its neighbors. Five operational intents support protection of downlink throughput, uplink throughput and retainability, and regulation of downlink and uplink load. Traffic-weighted cell importance helps prioritize beneficial actions while limiting adverse impacts. The presentation reports customer outcomes of 9.5% drop call rate improvement for retainability protection and 8% downlink user throughput improvement for downlink throughput protection, calculated for impacted cells at a US operator.

Automated evaluation of optimization proposals reduces manual investigations and intervention. Explainable, domain-based conflict handling helps operators select actions aligned with their priorities, improve operational productivity and protect customer experience by avoiding detrimental performance trade-offs.

Provide a coordination layer between optimization proposals and actuation, supporting the transition from isolated optimization to common operator priorities. OIM 1.0 is described as supporting Anomaly General Optimizer (AGO) first, with additional optimizers and multi-rApp conflict handling to follow. Multi-intent support at cell level, intent-fulfillment measurement and reporting are identified as post-1.0 capabilities, enabling a phased progression toward broader intent-driven automation.
