Abstract
One embodiment is directed to an adapter entity comprising a Technical Report 069 (TR-069) protocol automatic configuration server (ACS) module configured to communicate with managed equipment included in a radio access network (RAN) using the TR-069 protocol. The adapter entity further comprises a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server configured to communicate with an Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Software Defined Network Radio instance (SDN-R) of an ONAP management and orchestration (MANO) environment using NETCONF. The adapter entity further comprises a TR-069-to-NETCONF mapper module, communicatively coupled to the TR-069 protocol ACS module and the NETCONF server, configured to dynamically map NETCONF requests and responses to and from TR-069 Protocol requests and responses. The adapter entity is configured to dynamically map NETCONF requests and responses to and from TR-069 Protocol requests and responses. Other embodiments and examples are disclosed.
