Parent Page: R7 PNF Plug and Play PnP and R7 5G Service Modeling

Previous Meetings:  PNF PLUG and PLAY in R6 Frankfurt


Goals

  • Discuss PNFD/SDC AID/A&AI Schema Mapping - Action Items and Geolocation
  • 5G Service Modeling

MAJOR TOPIC #1a - PLACE OBJECT (CLOSED)

TOPICDISCUSSION
DEVELOPMENT OF LOCATION MODEL for PLACE OBJECT in ONPA PLATFORM INFORMATION MODEL

Development of Location Model for Place object in ONAP Platform Information Model. Place has been introduced as Experimental

Wiki page for root: Root (Root Model object)

ACTION: Information Model &PLACE Object proposal Start with "as built" model / Bob Papa & SALVATORE RICCI 

ACTION: R7 need & application? VNF will likely need the address/location info/complex before PNF. (1) Containerization (2) multi-cloud 3rd party clouds & (3) attributes missing or extended A&AI schema update (4) support globalization. / VNF verizon ETSI alignment R7 Use Case "Onboard ETSI SOL004  compliant VNF packages"

ACTION: Generic Information Template page for Generic Information Element Definition for Geolocation Model: Generic Information Element Definition for Geolocation Model

PROPOSED LOCATION MODEL:

Proposed Location Model

INTEGRATION OF COMPLEX OBJECT & PLACE OBJECT

How do we associate in the model and execute in A&AI code - the inter-dependencies between the Place object and complex

Refactoring code, A&AI data model, may need to refactor code.

These part of place object implemented as part of the complex object.

The complex object is in the addendum at the bottom of this Wiki

ACTION: How would this tie into the complex object or link/associate with the complex object.

CONTACT: Jimmy Forsyth

ACTION: (OPEN) (Oct 3) - Jimmy (A&AI PTL) said that Complex Object is entwined in the code; hard to redact it; smarter to evolve. Tie place object into the complex object; maybe complex could be subobject of place. Jimmy also mentioned that the Place & complex could be linked together. Maybe complex would be a subobject to place if there is overlap in fields & concepts.  output of Graphgraph need UML model

ACTION: Complex object reverse engineering - Mapping of Place & A&AI Complex Object / Do an analysis on the Complex object / Reverse engineer of Complex / logical model vs grounding in current implementation → evolution / who will consume changes & use cases - downstream system / Standards → Needs Use Cases → Information Model → Objects & Data Model  / Subject Modeling S/C. Globalization of location information / simple things we can do wo/ breaking the complex object e.g. changing behavior applied to multiple countries are we missing attributes evolving location info for other U/C needs.

NEXT STEPS (R8)
  1. Go A&AI and socialize the Place Model Proposed Location Model
  2. Need to make Schema Update in A&AI for R8 Create a Release Requirement. ACTION: go to A&AI to socialize
  3. Model Requirement for Schema Definition.
  4. Transition of complex to Place Object, who is consumer? SO creates the A&AI instance and "links" A&AI to Complex (Seshu). AssignpnfBB. ACTION: ask about AssignpnfBB.
  5. Who knows how to populate it?
  6. Who uses it? VID-GUI

MAJOR TOPIC #1b - GEOLOCATION BASE INFO (Standards) / (Closed)

TOPICDISCUSSION
GEO-LOCATION STANDARDS & REFERENCES (Summary)

STEP 1: Standards Inputs for place IM Object

RFC6225 GEOLOCATION FIELDS

Geolocation fields from RFC6225.  (CLOSED) – see table below ACTION: (DONE) Fill in tie-in fields to standards elements

Description

Latitude Uncertainty - When the Ver field = 1, this field represents latitude uncertainty. Uncertainty = 2 ^ ( 21 - x ). x = 21 - ceil( log2( uncertainty ) )

Latitude – Latitude in binary geodetic form. A 34-bit fixed-point value consisting of 9 bits of integer and 25 bits of fraction.

Longitude Uncertainty - When the Ver field = 1, this field represents longitude uncertainty. Uncertainty = 2 ^ ( 21 - x ). x = 21 - ceil( log2( uncertainty ) )

Longitude – Longitude in binary geodetic form. A 34-bit fixed-point value consisting of 9 bits of integer and 25 bits of fraction.

Altitude Uncertainty - When the Ver field = 1, this field represents altitude uncertainty.

Altitude – A 30-bit value defined by the Altitude Type field

Altitude Type – (1) Altitude in Meters, (2) Altitude in Floors. 1 (indicates Altitude in Meters)

Altitude Resolution - value encodes the number of high-order altitude bits that should be considered valid

Map Datum - The Map Datum used for the coordinates given in this option: WGS84, NAD83 + NAVD88, NAD83 + MLLW. 2 (Indicates NAD83+  NAVD88)

ETSI SOL 001

ETSI SOL001 - work with ETSI to incorporate it into ETSI SOL 001. Incorporate Geolocation element into ETSI SOL 001 standards.

ACTION: (DONE) Contacted Thinh N. (Nokia); Thinh RESPONDED to bring it up at the Modeling Call. Ben → Contact Thinh

ACTION: (DONE) Proposal in ETSI. Geoloc harmonization standards would go back to ETSI SOL001. Incorporate into Standards.

MAJOR TOPIC #2 - PNFD MAPPING & SOL001

ItemNotes

MULTI-LANGUAGE

SUPPORT

LANGUAGE – Check on representation of location for Non-western Languages & scripts. Civil address specify in the data. How would A&AI represent addresses but expressed in different language. Store the address with way to designate language type. Relevant only if SP deals with more than one language at a time.

DISPLAY - If SDC and VID do not display multi-lingual support, do we assume that the Latin alphabet would be displayed for non-Latin characters?

STORAGE - How would other languages be stored in the fields which will store location/address/place information.

  1. MULTI-LANGUAGE (VID/ Ittay Stern) – There is no plan for VID to support multi-language functionality.
  2. MULTI-LANGUAGE (PORTAL/Manoop) – Portal Already Supports Multi-language Support portal-multi-language.pptx
  3. MULTI-LANGUAGE (UUI/ Tao) – Multi-language support will be supported by UUI project (was first developed in R4/ Dublin)
  4. MULTI-LANGUAGE (SDC/ Ofir) – There is no plan for SDC to support multi-language functionality.
ALIGN SOL001 & A&AI

12 elements from the civic_address_element that do not map “nicely”: division, block, street group, additional loc info, residence name, unit, floor, room, postal name, PO box, additional Code, seat/cubicle/work station. We have decide to use "MAP" data structure in CA Place object fields.

ACTION: (DONE) done with analysis & development of the PLACE & Complex object. Result use "MAP" structure in Place object fields


Setting the Geolocation information

ACTION: Adding information to A&AI, A&AI software development to support the PLACE model. A&AI Schema.

ACTION: PNF use place object and VNFs continue to use Complex. SO in the PNF BB. (1) PNF registration VES event could send Geolocation (2) Operator of ONAP sets the information with a SO BB W/F. Who is updating, creating, maintaining and consuming it? Anyone using the complex object need to update. Set by external API. Receive & validate info a PNF (audit)

PNF PLUG and PLAY / PNFreg VES

ETSI Mapping SOL004


During PNF PnP PNFRegistration VES event will send information about the PNF

Eventually FILLS civic address & geolocation .

(1) VES PNFregistration VES events need to be updated. SOL004 PNFD Vendor Package.

(2) decide which parameters we want to have the VES event report.

ACTION: (Eventually incorporate new civic address & geolocation info into the PNFregistration VES event)

Software updates to handle Place object information during PNF registration

TOPIC #3

TOPICDISCUSSION
PNFD MAPPING

PNFD and ending up in an instance data (A&AI Model mapping). From PNFD (onboarded) loaded into SDC AID to A&AI

Improvement of ingestion onto SDC AID

PNF ETSI NFV SOL001 - descriptor_id, function_description, provider, version, descriptor_invariant_id, name, geographical_location_info, virtual_link

SDC - invariantUUID, uui, customizationUUID, version, type, name, description, resourceVendor, resourceVendorRelease, resourceVendorModelNumber, category, subcategory, nf_function, nf_role, nf_type, software_versions

ACTION: Go to SDC and/or CDS. Identify Use Case. Will specification for geolocation in SOL001. Geolocation in PNFD not per site. Inventory information. For vendor may not be so useful as sites instances are tied to locations not so much descriptors; for service provider probably country or region may be useful. Onboarding in ETSI. SDC → Vendor PNFD → SDC Model

PNF instance modeling tied to A&AI reverse engineering. will go into the resource IM meetings.

TOPIC #4 5G Service Modeling (3rd Thursday of Each Month)

TOPICDISCUSSION
5G Service Model Use Case

The 5G service model use case in R6: 5G RAN SERVICE MODELING & DEFINITION in R6 Frankfurt

5G Service Model U/C in R7: R7 5G Service Modeling

Highlights of 5G Service Model U/C

  • Analyze the incorporation of 3GPP TS28.540, 3GPP TS28.541 (the 5G NRM) ~100 parameters driven from the standards that might be incorporated into the ONAP databases incl. A&AI and Configuration & Persistency Service (C&PS).
  • Parameters related to inventory & commissioning would go to A&AI and schema updates. Others run-time data would go into the C&PS DB.
  • Onboarding - and schema definition for C&PS DB could be either (a) artifact loaded from vendors and (b) pre-defined driven from standards.
  • Arch. Flows that are used: SDC artifact distribution, C&PS DB flows.
  • 5G resources for 5G BTS (DU, PNF) to introduce an object in Resource Model
  • Model-driven ONAP design would eventually be used to onboard vendor specific CM information
  • Introduce into Platform ONAP information model objects to support 5G NRM.

NEXT STEP: Modeling discuss with Modeling S/C. What do we need to store; information model for C&PS. path to follow to get to info needed which guides API development & schema formation. Storing information relates to Netconf yang model ; common constructs topo endpoint that you would hang w/ more detailed implementation specific resource information; extend it for any resource; common constructs. ONF. R7 mature a model to evolve. Introduce modeling requirement
