Claim 8:
9. An apparatus configured to operate as a producer of provisioning Management Service (MnS) in a new radio (NR) network, the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive, from a distributed self-organizing network (D-SON) management function, at least one request to configure at least one target, control parameters, and at least one range of handover parameters for a Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO) function, the at least one request comprising a modifyMOIAttributes operation, the control parameters including MRO function control to enable and disable MRO functionality, a maximum deviation of handover trigger, and a minimum time between handover trigger changes;
in response to reception of the at least one request, set the at least one target and at least one range of handover parameters for the MRO function; and
in response a determination that the the at least one target has not been met, based on MRO information reports from user equipment (UEs), receive, from the D-SON management function, at least one update request to update at least one of the at least one target, at least one range of handover parameters, or the control parameters, the at least one update request based on MRO-related performance measurements; and

memory configured to store the at least one target and at least one range of handover parameters.
