NONRTRIC Controller Part

Scope 1: A1 Controller (Mediator, Endpoint)

  • Southbound:
    • Implement A1 spec. from O-RAN Alliance WG2
    • Very restricted A1-like functions for Release A
  • Base Controller: Release A: Selected SDNC
  • Base Controller: Release B+: Studies ongoing, to be confirmed
  • Northbound:
    • Release A: Very similar to southbound
      • Thin “shim” in SDNC to demonstrate the concept
    • Release B+: Studies ongoing, to be confirmed
  • O1 interfaces:
    • Defined in OAM project with SDN-R, VES collectors, etc
    • Release A: Out of scope
    • Release B+: O1 Observability
      • Coordinate with OAM project to leverage additional ONAP functions
        e.g.: DMAAP, RuntimeDB (ConfigDB), A&AI, DCAE, Policy Framework, SDN-R, SDC, CLAMP, Portal, etc.

NONRTRIC Services Part

Scope 2: Coordinate/Host A1 Policy Management Services

  • Intent Mapping:
    • Release A: Out of scope
    • Release B+: Studies ongoing, to be confirmed
      • Domain-specific mappings could be performed by domain-specific R-APPs? (TBC)
  • Policy Lifecycle Management
    • Release A: Out of scope
    • Release B+: Track & maintain multiple policy instances/types in multiple near-RealTimeRIC
  • Multiple near-RealTimeRIC instances
    • Release A: Out of scope / hard-coded
    • Release B+: A&AI, RuntimeDB to keep track of multiple near-RealTimeRICs (TBC)
    • Release C+: A&AI, RuntimeDB, DCAE, VES to map near-RealTimeRICs to mobile UEs (TBC)
  • O1 Observability
    • Release A: Out of scope
    • Release B+: Coordinate with OAM project to leverage additional ONAP functions
    • Release C+: Leverage DCAE & PM function coordination for custom O1 observability (TBC)

Scope 3: Coordinate ML/AI Models – In RAN (“E2 nodes” & near-RealTimeRICs) and NONRTRIC

  • Release A: Out of scope
  • Release B+: Studies initiated, to be confirmed
    • Hope to leverage planned ONAP functionality
