Near-Real-time RIC X-APPs (RICAPP) |
---|
Primary Goals: Expand the community working on open source xApps for O-RAN SC. Update and maintain the existing xApps to latest releases. Enhance the set of open source xApps in support of the RSAC use cases (traffic steering, network slicing) and add new xApps. New RUST framework xApp hw-rust will be added in this release. |

Near-Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller Platform (E2 Interface) (RICPLT)
Original primary goals based on contributions from Nokia, Samsung, HCL, Capgemini, Parallel Wireless, Alexandre Huff (UTFPR) and Abhijit G:
We will deprecate the RMR-based E2 subscription interface and H-release xApps need to use the REST based interface already supported by the the C++, go, and python xApp frameworks (RIC-375). The subscription manager should handle subscriptions for failing xApps (RIC-929) and provide a callback on subscription delete success/failure (RIC-928).We plan to implement the RIC subscription delete required procedure (RIC-851)- Update to newer golang version of all components (RIC-881)
We will develop a CRD, i.e., a K8S operator on top of the DMS REST API to simplify xApp deployment (RIC-715). Also the DMS Rest interface gets the missing delete API (RIC-954). RIC-717 allows to deploy multiple cooperating xApps together.- On E2 side we will implement the E2 Reset procedure from RAN to RIC (RIC-949) and the RIC Subscription Delete procedure (RIC-851).
We also implement robustness improvements (RIC-932 for reconnect cases) andtroubleshooting improvements (RIC-813, RIC-814). - There's work planned to deploy the kserve-based model provisioning from the AI/ML project into the RIC platform (RIC-955)
The xapp frameworks for Golang (RIC-930), C++ andRust (RIC-951) will get some enhancements that are already implemented in the other languages,incl. support for xApp registration in the xapp-framework-cpp (RIC-705).- E2T (RIC-813) and E2Mgr (RIC-814) support dynamic changing of log levels for better troubleshooting
- RIC-953 A1 testing improvements and bug fixes
- Added to plan during H:
- Support for policy status notifications in A1 (RIC-973 (incl. RIC-975))
- Faster timeout in SCTP heartbeats (E2) (RIC-976)
- IPv6 support in RMR (RIC-985)
RICAPP-216:Bouncer xApp upgraded to E2AP 2.0, E2SM KPM 2.0, E2SM RC 1.0.3 RICAPP-215: Anomaly Detection xApp (H-Release) - listens to RMR port and expect A1 policy from non-RT RIC & Process A1 policy message. Bug: RICAPP-214 OSC RIC - e2mgr X1 Configuration Update problem - Moved to RICP Epics moved to next release. |

Achieved H release highlights = high-level release notes (2023-06-20) below (note that the release image list is here: link)
For the H release of the near-RT RIC we do only limited integration testing: only the use cases: deploy RIC, deploy xApp, make E2 connection, get list of A1 policies has been tested. Filled in end-of-release checklist: link |

Status 2023-06-20: From the 23 epics planned (link) we implemented 11 (link). 12 items have been moved out of the H release, e.g, because of implementation delays (link). Incomplete items: 0 (link). Additionally we fixed 10 bugs and small implementation tasks (link) |

Achieved H release highlights = high-level release notes (2023-06-20) below (note that the release image list is here: link)
- E2 reset (from E2 node to RIC), E2 subscription delete required, A1 policy status notifications
- Preparation of feature for I release, e.g., include xApps in subscription delete required decision

- how to deploy the near-RT RIC platform,
- compile connect the E2 (e2 node) simulator from the OSC simulator project and
- compile the hw-go xapp from the xapp project and use the dms_cli to deploy it and check the E2 subscriptions the xApp created.

O-DU Low |
---|
Primary Goals: TODOImplementation of the O-DU Low Physical Layer functions for a 5G Open Access Radio Network allowing the flexibility of a software implementation coupled with the ability of incorporating hardware accelerators on a selective basis and meets the O-RAN architecture goals of scalability, mix and match multi-vendor modules that are interoperable and that can be upgraded as the standards evolve by software updates. The O-DU Low physical layer functions follow the 3GPP TS 38 series recommendations for 5G and the 3GPP TS 36 series recommendations for LTE with the 3GPP 7.2 functional split between O-DU Low and O-RU. In 3GPP terms the O-DU Low is referred to HIGH-PHY in the functional split for 5G. Implementation of the Open Front Haul interface to the O-RU per O-RAN WG4 CUS specifications. Integration of this component with multi-vendor implementations of O-DU High and O-RU modules for end to end interoperability and compatibility verification. |
H release Feature Scope: The O-DU Low H release is the same as the F Release and G Release that added support for Massive MIMO, URLLC and it is based on the commercial FlexRan 21.11 release. The O-DU Low H, G and F Release code is an Intel contribution in collaboration with Tieto Poland for the source code releases in the O-RAN gerrit and for the binary blobs contributed via GitHub. For the documentation preparation of the H, F and G release Intel worked with collaboration from Fransiscus Bimo and Professor Ray-Guang Cheng from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST). The H, G and F release are being used for end to end testing and it is based on the E maintenance release that was used for the 2021 November US O-RAN Plugfest and tested in conjuction with 2 stack partners and 2 different Test equipment vendors. The Front Haul Interface was also tested for compliance using Keysight's Front Haul Test equipment. Container images and deployment instructions are to be provided later H release Feature Scope: TODO |
