        Could you please drive this new repo creation in the O-RAN SC?

        We were discussing about the name of this xApp and we have some suggestions:

        1. slice-sla (preferred and more specific - implies only on slicing)

we discussesed Saurabh's xapp proposal for ad-cell. Thoralf to sedn reminder to Sunil.

Bimo asked for KPImon xapp - how to get latest source code that support E2SM KPM v2.0. Amit commented earlier that this is supported, and was used in a demo, but not possible to find source code. Please, send a reminder to Amit/Deepanshu deepanshu.k@h.. and also include James )lijianyj@ch...) and Thoralf (thoralf.czichy@n..). link to the video referred to: Contributions .

2022-11-08:

Saurabh (and Saravanan) (Samsung): new repo for AD due to too many changes in existing xApp. New repo needed. Check from OSC main mailing list on propsoal for new repo.

Deepanshu: commented that indeed existing AD (UE-level) is different from cell-level AD in new xApp and that's why there's a new repo.Sunil was planning to scheduke a call on this.

2021-09-28:

Status:

  • RICAPP PTL: Election completed and Sunil Singh (HCL) was the winner. OSC TOC approved the new PTL in the 9-22-21 call.
    • All repos need to be updated (INFO.yaml) with Sunil as the PTL: Matti would like to remain a committer in ric-app/mc, ric-app/hw, and ric-app/ric-sdk-py
    • LF confirmed no majority of +1s needed for just PTL change (since it was approved by TOC).
  • Bugs:
    • RICAPP-177 (HW-C++ - typo in unit test - assigned to Shraboni).
  •  Updates:
    • Viavi has proposed schema for the inFlux information to be used in the Release E xApps: InFlux DB schema (E Release)
    • RC xApp repo has been approved by TOC and Matti issued an LF ticket to create the repo.
    • FB agreed to submit python-sdk candidate in the sdk repo
    • Meeting with Matti + Thoralf + Mavenir about gRPC, + Subhash + James + Sunil - let's plan it for the hour after the next RIC/RICAPP meeting (Thoralf will send an invitation)
    • James found a solution for large file problem (use GIT LFS  https://git-lfs.github.com/) : The quick version is that with the git-lfs plugin, you will tell LFS (large file storage) to specifically track certain files within the repo. After that, you work with those files as normal, but when they're pushed or pulled, they come from a separate storage location (in this case, an S3 bucket). This would be something we would add to the repo; there would be no need for a new repo. Access would be the same, and users could even work on the repo without git-lfs; they would still have access to the code, just not the large files. And anyone with access to the repo and git-lfs installed would have access to all files.
      • Still some details need to be ironed out.
    • LP: No other updates.
    • AD/QP/Bouncer:
      • REST API in progress for RIC subscription
      • AD: Area anomaly added
      • QP: Serving cell thorughput added
      • Automation: Subscription duplication implemented, testing pending
      • No much progress on Bouncer.
    • HW: No updates.

2021-09-14:

Status:

  • Updates:
    • AD/QP/Bouncer:
      • Bouncer: REST API for RIC subscription
      • AD: Adding area information in anomaly alert - new field
      • QP: Include throughput current serving cell.
      • Automation: Enhancing common xApp testing automation. Subscription duplication, subscription deletion.
      • Benchmarking results: No new results because lab issues.
      • Matti will send ONeS slides for Bouncer and AD to be checked.
    • LP:
      • Verification fails when trying to commit AI-model. Still very large image (1.4 GB).
      • Deepanshu had same issue - looking for LF recommendation (LF ticket).
    • HW:
      • Can we use test automation for HW xApps? Let's plan for a meeting with HCL to discuss how to use the automation. HCL will test first with other xApps.
      • HW go: alarm, metric, and E2 subscription; HW python: Only E2 subscription missing. Python xApp framework updated as well. (Need to figure out who will updated xApp framework python for E2 subscription.)
  • RICAPP PTL election:
    • Voting start got delayed - have there been any technical difficulties?

2021-08-31:

Status:

  • Release E planning:
    • RC: Mavenir has agreed to implement the RC xApp that implements a subset of the E2 SM RC related to UE-level handover request CONTROL message.
  • RICAPP PTL role:
    • PTL election process (info from Trishan at LF): 

      "Generally, the committers in a project select or appoint a PTL from their ranks. The PTL is usually an comitter on the project. An election or selection process by the committers of the project can be up to the project, depending on how they operate, if it's a small group, without multiple candidates, it could be as simple decision taken in a meeting or if multiple candidates are in the running, then an vote can be taken by the committers. If it's a new project, just being formed, the PTL is assigned or volunteers from one of the companies leading it for the initial term.

      Once the project has selected someone they bring that name to the TSC/ToC for approval."

    • Candidate statement deadline Sept 3rd.

    • Candidate statements here
    • Public voting among RICAPP committers: Sept 6-11.

2021-08-17:

Status:

  • Release E planning:
    • HW-C++: Shraboni agreed to update HW-C++ to call new subscription API in xApp framework-C++ (if HCL agrees to update it)
    • HW-python/go: Attempt to address documentation missing on readthedocs - email bounced.
    • RC: Meeting with Mavenir was delayed by Mavenir (to next week)
    • LP: issue integrating with Torch
    • MassiveMIMO xApp: possibly in E Release
    • QP/AD: (add load prediction and potentially geo-location as features)
    • Bouncer: start working on again.
    • Possible other contributions:
      • Geo-location (Viavi) - still waiting for final word from Viavi - the Viavi simulator may just provide location in inFlux directly (without an xApp in this release)
      • Network slicing: Nothing expected from RICAPP (but we can do something if we have the cycles)
    • Integration (Viavi simulator, KPIMON, AD, QP, LP, TS, RC)
      • The expectations of KPIMON and RC need to be specified exactly for Viavi to know what needs to be provided
  • Open networking presentation - input?
  • RICAPP PTL role:
    • OSC (Jack Murray) suggested we determine the new PTL within the project (RICAPP)
    • For continuity of the project, ideally the new RICAPP PTL would come from the current RICAPP committers and active participants
    • The new PTL should be elected by the current RICAPP committers (voting details to be determined)
    • Some project members have expressed interest!
    • Next step:
      • Candidates prepare candidate statement: name, company, experience with open source project, background in the RICAPP project, mission statement
      • Candidate statements posted on RICAPP wiki
      • Deadline: Sept 3rd.
      • Voting details determined by next meeting (Aug 31st) and voting happens after the next meeting.
  • OSC lab access problem (Subhash) - Matti will email Rich - problem resolved (account had expired).

2020-07-07

  1. Bronze and Bronze maintenance status update.
    1. Bronze done with 5 xApps
    2. Waiting for Samsung KPIMON and Viavi simulator output for the maintenance release.
  2. Cherry progress.
  3. How to contribute:
    1. Help with an existing xApp (Find an unassigned user story here https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/projects/RICAPP/ and contact me)
    2. Suggest a new xApp idea/.
  4. HCL is interested in contributing to the ML pipeline in xApp (QP) - followup by email
  5. Idea on how infra metrics could be used in xApps was discussed - in the O-RAN  architecture they should be only exposed to nonRT RIC, need to think if RIC's own infra metrics could be somehow used by xApps.

2021-02-02

Status:

  • "Portability SDK" repo request revised and still waiting for enough TOC votes.
  • Viavi simulator discussions to support AD use case:
    • The goal of the scenario is to simulate an anomaly where a small set of UEs are not getting adequate signal strengths due to some temporal event in their locality.

       The RIC will detect the anomaly and may take corrective actions.

       The RAN Simulator will group users into indoor, pedestrian and vehicle groups. Some outdoor users will have less than average throughput and the RIC should identify these as outliers and take action to improve performance. Chosen UEs will fall below a throughput threshold for a period due to an obstacle blocking the signal, which is represented as a shadow-region on the topology map.

      • We worked on the data shared by the Viavi team. Showed the AD demo in the last viavi call.

    • InfluxDb – Checked in ric/deb repo, Incorporated review comments from Felix. Tested in our lab environment.

      • Unable to check-out the it/deb repo. need to check with Felix. (Already sent a mail regarding the issue)

  • HW:
    • C++: Refactoring between xApp and c++ framework moving slowly.
    • Python/go (Samsung):
      • python: waiting for HeeWon commit.
      • go:Update next week.
  • Open lab access: Common RIC installation. Apparently VM is there but nobody has  access yet - Matti will continue bugging Felix.
  • Slow moving items:
    • SSP (Samsung): Initial discussion - Patent issue raised by Jun - Matti waiting for TOC response (may be hard with Apache license)
    • "Portability SDK": discussions continue on E2, SDL, and A1 interface in the SDK - contributing to WG-3 RIC Arch periodically
    • See if ONF simulator could be used with OSC RIC (Samsung, Nokia also members) - should be possible if E2 AP and KPM versions match (KPM 2.0.3 if I heard correctly)
    • Subhash: Committer changes needed (Rahul → Naman) - Matti needs to start the vote (today).
