Execution Time Epics and Requirements Implications
Receive and process xApp subscription requests for xApp produced data with a given scope (i.e., UE Class, gNB) and time periodicity (TBD). Processing includes passing the subscription request to the xApp that produces the data type. (See "Deployment Time" requirements for more information.) Design constraints:

The Near-RT RIC Platform will provide a common log repository in which xApp and Platform log records are captured. This repository will natively allow for filtering, sorting and selecting (e.g., a database, not a file).
Deployment Time Epics and Requirements Implications
Upon a new xApp instance being loaded, the Platform will catalog the data types consumed and produced, and use this information in the routing of data from xApp to xApp. Particularly, the Platform will be responsible for ensuring that the PredictedQoE data produced by the QP xApp is made available to the TS xApp.
