Near-Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller Platform (E2 Interface) (RICPLT)

Theme: Make the platform more robust in handling E2AP, conflicts and A1

Original primary goals based on contributions from Nokia, Samsung, Capgemini, HCL Alexandre Huff (UTFPR), GS Lab and Abhijit G:

  • Additional messages: modify src code to be more lenient in ordering of IEs in ASN.1 (RIC-1030, GS)
  • tests with mock replies for subscriptions, registrations and alarms in xapp framework for Rust (RIC-1028, AG)
  • Handling of E2 Error Indication from E2 node at E2M and Sub manager (RIC-1024, N)
  • Graceful Handling of Unsupported E2AP Procedure at E2T (RIC-1023, N)
  • Handling of SCTP Abort message from E2 Node (RIC-1022, N)  
  • remove leading zeros in gnb, cu, du ID , MCC and MNC (RIC-1021, N)
  • Abnormal signaling process cause E2Term crash (Bug RIC-1002, N)
  • Handling of RIC Error indication _during_ E2 setup (RIC-997, N)
  • E2 Conflict management between xApps (RIC-993, CG)
  • implement test cases for xapp-frame-cpp (RIC-950, H)
  • Support Startup/Health script demonstrating release capabilities (RIC-926, H)
  • A1 mediator testing in nanobot (RIC-926, H)
  • xapp testing nanobot enhancements: wider coverage of functionality, e.g., Subscription deletion (RIC-860, H)
  • scale-in and scale out using K8S operators (details still open) (RIC-1048, S)

Code coverage: 

Mapping of new features to O-RAN Spec

RIC-1024, RIC-997 relate to correct implementation of ErrorIndication as defined in E2AP in addition to other failure cases that are defined in E2AP.

RIC-993 is an implementation of E2 guidance for conflict mitigation (see RICHARCH 6.0 draft). As WG3 is still in the process of specifying this we may have to adapt later.

Operation and Maintenance (OAM)

Primary Goals:

  • update of O-RAN WG10 VES message bodies
  • update of O-RAN WG4 optional VES bodies
  • update of OAM-Controller to OpenDaylight version Potassium-SR1
  • support of other O-RAN-SC projects (e.g. SMO, Non-RT-Ric, O-DU, INT) based on RSAC and other input.
  • support of OAI and nephio integration with O-RAN-SC related to OAM
