Status (35-125-21): 

D Release status

• New xApps:
  • Bouncer xApp (HCL, C++): RIC performance measurement xApp - in conjunction with the appropriate E2 Sim, can test E2 control loop latency (INSERT-CONTROL) as well as the scalability of the RIC with regard to the number of E2 Nodes supported.
    
  • LP (Load Prediction, ChinaMobile, python): Initial version of a cell load predictor.
  • HW-P (Hello World - Python, Samsung): A python based demo xApp that demonstrates how an xApp can use the RIC platform features in python.
  • HW-G (Hello World - go, Samsung): A go-based demo xApp that demonstrates how an xApp can use the RIC platform features in go.
• Improved xApps:
  • AD (Anomaly Detection, HCL, python): A ML-based real-time anomaly detection using KPI data populated in inFlux DB.
  • KPIMON (Samsung, go): Improved version implements E2 SM KPM 2.0.3 version and stored collected data in time series DB (inFlux)
  • QP (QuE Predictor, HCL, python): A ML-based predictor of UE's throughput if it was handed over to a neighboring cell. The D release version finally uses a ML-trained prediction model and includes the functionality previously provided as a separate QP-driver xApp.
  • TS (TRaffic Steering, U. Parana, C++): Extended version of the TS xApp that now receives anomaly detection messages, requests QoE prediction, and issue control operation to request a UE handover.
• Together, AD, QP, and TS xApps and Viavi E2 Tester, implement a use case where anomaly detection is combined with QoE prediction and traffic steering action to move the affected UEs to a different cell.
