    • Adding support for DME integration now. Will demo again in a few weeks.

  • OpenAPI-first in A1-PMS & ICS

    • Change from code→openapi→docs to openapi → code-stubs & docs

    • To better align with R1 specs as they mature

    • To improve expressiveness of docs etc.

    • Almost all working now - no functional change visible, but lots of work!
  • Some changes in A1-Mediator in near-RT-RIC plt in H-Release.
    • Meeting planned with Near-RT-RIC team tomorrow.
    • Further investigation needed re effects on A1-PMS/ICS & A1-SIM
    • Looks like OSC_v2.1.0. A1-AP (P) profile will b deprecated
      • Will phase out support A1-SIM and A1-PMS in coming releases, when A1-Mediator moves to spec version of A1-AP
    • Need to verify current implementation are fully spec compliant
    • Working on Pairwise test - will be ready as A1-Mediator implementation continues (few weeks)
      • Received info on how to start A1-Mediator in standalone mode - easier to test.

      • Short update
      • Carrying on
        • Still work on PM Streaming. See below.
        • Working on O1 implementation for OAI
        • Trying to translate PM Dictionary & Alarm dictionary into Yang to help generate required functions
          • Should help at onboarding too.
          • Nice candidate for SCCL? (OSFG)
            • Still in progress - difficultly publishing updates in OSC on Alarms and PM Dictionary
            • Translation of PM-Dictionary and AlarmDictionary from “O-RAN.WG10.Information Model and Data Models.0-R003-v05.00” into yang – from yang *proto and *.openapi and other formats will be generated – the results will be provided to OSFG for checking if the SCCL process it established and working.
          • Current feedback from OSFG: the created artifacts must not be published in open-source repositories, because the SCCL process is not (fully) established in O-RAN Alliance.
