This use case is for the analytics (predictions and statistics) of the management data including 5G PMs defined in TS 28.552 and 5G KPIs defined in TS 28.554.

Certain scenarios might need a prediction or statistics on existing management data, e.g. prediction or statistics of single or multiple PMs and KPIs. The MnS consumer of this use case (who may also be a MnS producer) might be interested in the analytics (statistics or prediction) on existing management data (PMs and KPIs) which can be then consumed to produce services on other use cases such as mobility optimization or load balancing etc. The MnS consumer gets a specific type of prediction or statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, correlation, etc.) of specific management data (PMs/KPIs) on network objects. Statistics of the management data include the statistical calculation on the data themselves over a period in the past and/or statistics of management data following a sliding window procedure to produce statistics. Predictions of management data may include predictions of the data themselves over a future period, and/or predictions of the data following a sliding window procedure. The main objective of this use case is to provide analytics (statistics and/or predictions) on the existing management data.
