Near-Real-time RIC X-APPs (RICAPP) | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Primary Goals: Expand the community working on open source xApps for O-RAN SC. Enhance the set of open source xApps in support of the R-SAC use cases (traffic steering, health check, life cycle management) as well new use cases. Update and enhance existing xApps to take advantage of the new features in xApp SDK (implemented by the xApp frameworks in C++, go, and python). | ||||||||||

Status (9-8-20): Integration of KPIMON in progress, new xApps under design, QP-Driver updated to use new SDK for alarms and metrics. Status (9-30-20): Samsung taking over integration and testing of KPIMON; Viavi simulator producing data - an update in the data content expected this week (UE throughput, UE ID); ML-model building started based on Viavi and other simulated data (QP, AD); new xApp repos requested (Signal Storm Protection, Load Prediction); bug fixes to HelloWorld, E2 AP/SM abstraction layer underway for HelloWorld. Status(11-17-20): ML-xApps (QP,AD) code committed - dealing with merge issues. End to end testing and bug fixes underway. E2AP/SM abstraction work for HelloWorld (C++) xApp completed. New repos created for HelloWorld in go and python (for Dawn). |
Near-Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller Platform (E2 Interface) (RICPLT) |
---|
Primary Goals: More manageability of the RIC platform, including platform alarms, platform stats from E2 and A1 and support for direct RMR-to-VES event conversion for VES stats, Support operator-initiated health-check via E2 and E2 connection state, E2 can reject new connection setup requests. REST interface for E2 subscriptions, further xApp framework APIs. |
Cherry feature scope: Detailed list of JIRA items that we plan to work on in Cherry (requires LinuxFoundation login): link(28 items) |
PTL: Thoralf Czichy |
Status 2020-11-24: Remaining open items: link (11 items). Items that are marked as done: link (19 items). Moved out from Cherry: link (19 = 10 stretch goal items and 9 "normal items") HCL: RIC-149, RIC-150, RIC-360, RIC-509. Ask if RIC-362 is already implemented by HCL. Nokia: (1) stats related: RIC-422 likely done. Relatet stats-items (RIC-33, RIC-126) likely to be postponed. (2) submgr related RIC-76 and RIC-71 likley to be postponed. ATT: (e-mail sent): RIC-359 (likely postponed) Status 2020-11-05: Remaining open items RIC-56: I now moved all sub user storied for actual alarms as separate independent Epics. Can be tested with artiifical alarm or QP driver xApp alarm. The framework is ready. Marking RIC-56 as Done. RIC-57: two subitems open (for Nune 2020-11-12 reminder sent) and one for Timo (RIC-104). Two e-mails sent. Result: RIC-104 (not yet done, move out of Cherry) Done RIC-76: e-mail sent as item 6 in bulk mail. RIC-95: Completed (2020-11-12) RIC-359: Queried status. 2020-11-12: Reminder sent RIC-360, RIC-150. RIC-362, RIC-509: Reminder to subteam h1 sent. RIC-363: e-mail send to Matti. 2020-11-12: reminder sent and Matti will close it with some conclusions. DONE RIC-365 DONE. and remaining subuser stories (like RIC.429) moved to future work epic (RIC-681) RIC-367 DONE and two subitems moved to Dawn RIC-682. xapp-framework python. e-mail sent we need to get the E2AP work done, and then we could extract one subitem as own epic and clsoe teh oevrall item. RIC-422: e-mail send to Nune (bulk mail) Status 2020-09-30: (a) I (PTL) am happy to see HCL doing work on Sonarqube for repos. Much more work done by HCL in context of benchmarking (simulator work), new helm and k8s version, Redis cluster suppor and testing, JIRA link for team H1 (b) Samsung also doing key work items, e.g. for RIC-95 health check (with side affect of support for E2 SERVICE QUERY and related) - suffering from simulator support (RIC-372 already mentioned below), work started on demo (aka more elboarte hello world) xApp in go/python. (c) four items moved out of Cherry as already visible that not enough time: link . (d) 28 Cherry items = 4 moved out of Cherry + 10 done + 14 in progress or still to be started (e) Matti and Thoralf gave a presentation on RIC status in the virtual ONeS 2020 (link). Waiting for copyright/licensing results between O-RAN and O-RAN SC. Status 2020-09-02: (a) I (PTL) am happy to see teams from Samsung and HCL joining the project with them actively working on capabilities related to the E2 simulator (actually in Alex' simulator project), more test automation (using the robotframework), benchmarking, SDL (shared data layer). (b) RIC-372 was the first commit from these new participants (c) we might be aiming for self-certification under LF's CII badge level "basic", (d) work on O1-related functions, like E2 and A1 statistics, or some alarms already done. (e) Adaptation to E2APv1.1 (likely released in November) only happening post-Cherry. |

Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Primary Goals: The primary goal of the SMO project is to integrate different software artifacts of existing open-source projects creating a fully functional open-source Service Management and Orchestration (SMO). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cherry Feature Scope: SMO entered the Cherry release in the middle of third sprint of code development. As such its scope is fairly modest. They are validation of application packages, assuming that we can agree on the format of the package, on boarding of applications and storing them in a package catalog which also has to be agreed upon, and as a stretch goal, setting up an environment where YANG modules that will be used by O-RAN, whether they are from 3GPP, and O-RAN itself can be used by vendors developing RIC, CU, DU and the RU to test a MVP configuration. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PTL: Mahesh Jethanandani | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Status: A formal proposal on the outline of an application package format has been presented to WG1, where it did not receive any objection. However, a formal package definition will not happen before the next release in March of 2021. With that fact, a pre-standard package definition has been developed, and will form as part of the demo for the Cherry release. In addition, the test framework for testing of YANG models has been set up in the OSC lab. A sample Postman script has been checked into Gerrit for users to use to set up their own tests. Finally, a discussion is underway with O-DU team to see if the version of O-DU in OSC can be used for SMO testing of O1 interface. Jira: Count of Epics (
