R5 El Alto Release
EUAG recommendation is that R5 El Alto be a "maintenance/technical debt" release.
https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/EUAG+2019-04-09+meeting+minutes
The El Alto release could be shortened and focus on internal (tech) debt and defect backlogs.
A proposed release cycle is presented.
PTLs had taken short cuts to meet deadlines, working but want to make the platform more robust. PTL driven code fixes and code hardening.
S/W Enhancements (e.g. GUI enhancements) would be pushed to R6. Feature enhancements would be pushed to R6
R5 will be focused on Refactoring, JIRA backlog reduction, vulnerability issues, Test Coverage, Test Automation (CI/CD pipeline), Deployment procedure, Documentation.
R5 - Security Scans, scan code reports sent to PTL for major things to fix. Vulnerabilities have been built. Vulnerability management process. Security gates checklist.
SUMMARY: what this means for the 5G U/C S/C ... in R5 there's no new content being introduced, no new Use Cases. Thus, nothing in any of our 5G U/Cs would be worked, but rather pushed to R6 Frankfurt.
R6 5G-Specific Use Cases (Frankfurt Release)
(Moving U/C)s:
TITLE | DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY | WIKI |
MOBILE SERVICE CHAINING | Enhanced Management and Operation for Mobile Service Chaining | 5G Operational Optmization, 5G FCAPS | MOBILE SERVICE CHAINING |
CREATION OF SERVICES | End to End Service Creation (IoT) ONAP for facilitation. Atul Purohit |
5G SPECIFIC USE CASES:
TITLE | DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY | WIKI |
5G SERVICE MODELING | Defining and Modeling a 5G Service for Design Time and use by other 5G Use Cases. Defining the Platform Data & Information model and PNF Resource for a 5G RAN. | 5G FCAPS Discovery 5G Operational | 5G RAN SERVICE MODELING & DEFINITION in R5 |
PCI/SON ENHANCEMENTS | Optimization and PCI (SON) development. Dublin Carry-over items | 5G Operational Optimization | PCI (SON) in R5 El Alto, PCI (SON) in R6 Frankfurt |
BULK PM | Performance Measurements 5G RAN Bulk Upload. Improvements will be made and carry - overs from R4 Dublin. Partially 5G Specific, and Partially "Generic". Can be evolved for use with generic PNFs (beyond 5G) | Data Collection 5G FCAPS | 5G BULK PM Management in R5 |
5G FM META DATA & 5G PM DICTIONARY | Support for handling FM Meta Data & support for PM Dictionary & PM Schema (from standards). Eventually other PNFs will support faults and measurements, but right now 3GPP specific formatting is used in the PM artifact. Can be evolved for use with generic PNFs (beyond 5G) | PNF Support Data Collection 5G FCAPS | FM META DATA & PM DICTIONARY in R5 |
NETWORK SLICING | Advanced 5G functionality, for Network Slicing development and early steps in long-lead development. | 5G Operational Optimization | NETWORK SLICING in R6 Frankfurt |
5G USE CASE ASSESSMENT:
TITLE | Requirement / Platform Enhancement vs E2E Use Case | 5G Specific | fx |
