Please follow the calendar


00:05O-RAN-SCO-RAN-SC PTLs
  • O-RAN-SC ToC
    • Made progress on how to have multiple project in single repo.
    • Documenting & improving how to deploy RANPM functions. Will demo again in coming weeks
      • AIMLFW had some issues & questions. Working on those.
    • Will push on with work on rApp manager - especially rApp onboarding, preparing for SME, DME etc
      • Lots of bits there already ... this will tie them together in a coordinated way when deploying rApps
      • Much of the rAPP LCM will be handled by ONAP ACM functions
      • Main issue is we still have no clear definition of rApp package.
      • We will likely be out of alignment with O_RAN specs when they arrive / mature. We will evolve our work then.
    • Will demo Service Registry & Service Discovery - based on CAPIF
      • Working now. 
    • Will demo ONAP SO CNFM function for ASD-pacakaged CNFs deployment - working in standalone mode.
      • We've removed dependency on SDC and A&AI - replaced with initial stub functions.
      • So CNFM in standalone mode gives ASD deployment support - either on its own or as part of a larger ONAP SO/SDC/A&AI install.
      • Propose to demo at joint SMO/SO call, maybe 2 weeks? Or RSAC call in 2 weeks. 
    • Continuing as per last week :
      • Alot of work in JDK 17 & Springboot 3 updates
      • Consolidating PM data exposure in new repo for RAN PM functions
      • (R1) Service Exposure & Management
        • CAPIF Aligned Service Registry
        • Secured/Sandbox execution environment
        • Controlled access & exposure of service to/from rApps
        • 2023-04-19: good progress - maybe a demo in a couple of weeks.

      • (R1) Data Management & Exposure

        • File-based PM data → InfluxDB
        • Previous focus on PM data - but will extend to other use cases too
        • Aim to work with AIML project for Training (and Inference ?) data access

      • rApp Management

        • Built on ONAP “Automation Composition” model & platform to implement rApp use cases
          • Inference Services in rApps
            • Added a 'KServe Participant'
          • rApp-specific extensions needed
        • Packaging, Onboarding & Orchestration of rApps
          • rApp-specific packaging & Onboarding
            • Aim to align with / inform ongoing work in O-RAN (& OSC) about Common App packaging & Onboarding.
          • (rApps with & without µService)
        • Overlap with Service Exposure work to examine role of an rApp Manager to support controlled exposure & LCM of µService and non-µService parts of an rApp

      • Continued A1-Policy & A1-Enrichment-Information evolution (& R1-A1)

        • A1 Spec evolution
        • A1-Policy work in ONAP (continues in ONAP London) - candidate for R1-A1(P)
        • A1-EI management as part of DME - candidate for how to include A1-EI in R1-DME
        • 2023-04-19: fine grain access control
      • Sample use cases (rApps)
        • Requirements Drivers for rApp/R1 development
        • High degree of cross-project integration activity

      • Testing, Maintenance & Housekeeping

        • Function Test & Integration Test environment,
        • Support integration, deployment & configuration of SMO/Non-RT-RIC related functions & usecases in OSC Integration env.
        • Project coordination, Documentation, Delivery, Reporting, Cross-project alignment, Community demos, O-RAN Standardization support, etc.
        • test deployments
  • SIM: Alex Stancu
    • WG4 OFHM - supervision in NTS (O-RU function)
      • available for  NTS-O1 1.6.3
    • PM File generation
      • update for the stndDefined fileReady → 3GPP REL-18
      • John Keeney Alex Stancu : req: file ready event - template for 3gpp-xml file → timestamps - generated provided by John
        • same certs for FTPes 
        • each sim instance will create its own file (file per node)
        • check read-the-docs of Non-RT-RIC
  • OAM: Martin Skorupski
    • release notes - issue with docx (sad)
    • documentation
    • ToC Report for this week
  • O-DU: @Vidhu
    • no report

00:15OSC NONRTRIC demos at RSAC

OSC NONRTRIC update to TOC

John Keeney Aravindhan Ayyanathan Yennifer Chacon 

  • Demo: "LCM of ASD-based CNFs using ONAP CNFM function in Standalone mode" Aravindhan Ayyanathan 
    • At last weeks RSAC committee Meeting (17 May 2023)
    • Demonstrate ASD-based LCM for CNFs using a cut-down version of the CNFM function originally from the ONAP SO project. The function can be used in standalone mode without the need for the rest of SO, A&AI or SDC. 
    • Video: Hi-Res
    • Video Lo-Res
    • Slides:




  • Demo: "CAPIF for Service Registration & Service Discovery" Yennifer Chacon 
    • At last weeks RSAC committee Meeting (17 May 2023)
    • Demonstrate Demo/Discussion of CAPIF-based Service registry/discovery. The 3GPP CAPIF approach seems to be gaining traction as a basis for R1-SME, and we would like to show the progress we have made with our implementation.

00:15ONAP SON/slicing Use case

N.K. Shankaranarayanan 

    • Presented plan for proposal
      • Slides : Draft / WIP

Issue when deployment with OOM:

  • oom - strimzi > 
    • one option to reinstall strimzi 

Preparation for the next release

  • enhancements of RAN SIM

00:18ONAP/O-RAN-SC Cooperation/Alignment

N.K. Shankaranarayanan Seshu Kumar Mudiganti John Keeney Martin Skorupski 

Was topic at ONAP TSC

  • more interest
  • use case should drive the discussions
  • end-to-end use case requires rApp - thoughts?
    • ACM control loop


Meeting ends


00:003GPP copyright issue

N.K. Shankaranarayanan 

Still! "not ok" - how to use NETCONF YANGs from 3GPP and O-RAN

Problem Statement might be not fully understood. 

Next step: Call with Magnus Buhrgard 

After the call and some emails: Magnus it preparing a call with 3GPP SA5 representatives and then another ONAP LS to 3GPP

The topic is on the ONAP TSC agenda tomorrow: TSC 2022-09-08

> Magnus wont give up (smile)
