Primary Goals: 

• O-DU high integration in Radio mode
• Initial access and Attach procedure testing in Radio mode
• DL and UL data path in FDD, 20 MHZ with 256 QAM and 64 QAM respectively
• Static TDD mode support with Numerology =1
• O1 enhancement
• Closed Loop Automation Use case support

D Feature Scope: 

. 1. Achieve UL and DL data flow using FDD mode on 20 MHz Bandwidth, Numerology = 0

 2.Support for static TDD mode with pattern “DDDDDDDSUU” on 100 MHz Bandwidth, Numerology = 1

• Evolve scheduler to support UL and DL scheduling of signaling and data messages on single spectrum in TDD mode
• Expand scheduler to support Frame structure according to numerology = 1
• Updates to cell broadcast for TDD and numerology = 1

3.Development activity for Closed Loop Automation use-case

• Support for cell stop and restart within O-DU High layers
• Support for cell stop and restart towards O-DU Low
• F1AP Enhancements towards O-CU indicating cell stop and restart

4.Integration

• Integration with O-DU Low in Radio mode
• Integration with CU

5.End to end testing support (O-RU<->O-DU-LOW<->O-DU-HIGH<->RSYS CU<->Viavi 5G Core )

6.O1 enhancements - by HCL

• CM Support
• Support for Closed Loop Automation use-case
• Support for Health Check use-case

Dependency/Blockers:

• O1 configuration for day-1 shall need to be completed to start with CLA. However basic configuration e.g. cell state/operational state/admin state shall be supported initially. Use admin state as unlocked to validate the RU link failure.
• Server allocation to mount Radisys CU as a test fixture. Bare metal server preferred. 
• Unable to use valgrind with Intel libraries. Debugging issue with seg fault using Brute Force methodmust be carried out with Alternate methods.
