The disclosure relates to a
fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication
system for supporting a higher
data transmission rate. A method and a
system for
radio access network (RAN) node optimization in a
wireless network are provided. The method includes receiving, by a producer device, a create
managed object instance (MOI) request for collecting performance
metrics, from a
consumer device, wherein the create MOI request comprises a plurality of attributes for collecting the performance
metrics, wherein the performance
metrics include at least one of measurements and key performance indicators (KPIs) collected at at least one of a gNodeB (gNB) and a
central unit user plane (CU-UP) end of a next generation user plane (N3 / NgU) interface of the producer device, performing, by the producer device, collection of the performance metrics at the at least one of the gNB and the CU-UP end of the N3 / NgU interface of the producer device based on plurality of attributes received in the create MOI request, wherein the measurements include at least one of a measurement of number of octets of incoming
general packet radio service (GPRS)
tunneling protocol (GTP) data packets on the N3 / NgU interface from a user plane Function (UPF) to the RAN, and a measurement of number of octets of outgoing GTP data packets on the N3 / NgU interface from the RAN to the UPF, wherein the KPIs collected include at least one of a downstream
throughput for a network slice, and an upstream
throughput for a network slice at the at least one of the gNB and the CU-UP end of the N3 / NgU interface, and sending, by the producer device, the collected performance metrics to the
consumer device to optimize at least one of gNB configurations and CU-UP configurations at the producer device based on the performance metrics received from the producer device.
