      • Yang modules to be supported by O-DU to ensure the end-to-end functionality of the use case "Closed loop" is in progress. Basic configuration is agreed to support CLA use case.
      • Internal call flow/message sequence between O-CU and O-DU for cell activation and deactivation is clarified. Call flow updated at 

        https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RSAC/Closed+Loop+Automation+Call+Flow+-+O-DU+High+APIs.

      • UE delete functionality complete
      • Cell delete functionality complete
      • Issue with mis-coordination between cell delete and DL RRC message, resolved.
      • Code changes for CU Interaction is completed
      • Code changes for Config update over F1 interface is completed
      • O1 Integration for O-DU  for CLA is completed ( Cell stop and Cell restart)
      • Blocker : code segmentation is observed, analysis is going on (code optimization is required to be scoped in E release)
  • https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/ODUHIGH-267 - Done
    • As an O-DU L2 developer, I want to integrate O-DU High with O-DU Low in Radio Mode
      • SSB transmission successful
      • Debugging issue with Sib1 transmission , PDCCH is received but no PDSCH seen at O-DU low.
      • PDSCH for SIB1 is detected at L1 but L1 does not process it. Pointer is to check the PDSCH PDU parameters
      • Further debug sessions needed to close the ongoing issues.
      • There is no breakthrough even after several debug sessions with O-DU Low
      • SIB1 detection at L1 is successful. PHY.XML is updated with removing the hardware accelerator (<dpdkBasebandFecMode> from 1 to 0 to force the SW encoder)
      • For the CLA usecase, Cell stop request is received from O-DU high to low but O-DU low sends stop indication multiple times. This issue is fixed in L1 later binary 20.08. This binary update will happen in D-maintenance phase. 
  • https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/ODUHIGH-268 - Done
    • As an O-DU L2 developer, I want to integrate O-DU High with O-CU
      • Using Radisys commercial CU as a test fixture
      • New VM configured as per H/W and S/W requirements of Radisys CU
      • The Network interfaces and CentOS version needs to be revisited for the CU machine. This is achieved with limited OSC lab setup.
  • https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/ODUHIGH-269 - Done
    • As an O-DU L2 developer, I want to support End to End testing scenarios
      • Testing of broadcast messages at O-RU emulator set to begin
      • Viavi confirmed receiving at O-RU. Needs verification from UE sim.
      • Debug session is planned on 23rd June to achieve SSB and SIB1 transmission till UE simulator and then follow with RACH procedure.
      • Latest issue: the eCPRI packets differentiation between control plane and user plane through vlan id is supported by Intel, however O-RU support the packet differentiation based on eCPRI packet type. hence the fronthaul transmission validation is blocked.
      • Intel shall update the L1 package supporting C/U plane differentiation using eCPRI packet type in the D-release maintenance phase.

Updates from HCL:

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(VM) configuration (H/W and S/W) to mount Radisys CU as a test fixture. 
  • Unable to use valgrind with Intel libraries. Debugging must be carried out with Alternate methods.
  • Intel/Viavi to confirm successful decoding of SSB/SIB1 at UE sim (TM500).
