Near-Real-time RIC X-APPs (RICAPP) |
---|
Primary Goals: Expand the community working on open source xApps for O-RAN SC. Enhance the set of open source xApps in support of the R-SAC use cases (traffic steering, network slicing) as well new use cases. Update and enhance existing xApps to take advantage of the new features in xApp SDK (implemented by the xApp frameworks in C++, go, and python). |

E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Each repository has a branch named "e-release" that can be accessed using git. For example, the source code for the AD xApp can be retrieved using "git clone --branch e-release "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-app/ad". The other xApps in the E release can be found at ric-app/qp, ric-app/ts, ric-app/lp, ric-app/hw, ric-app/hw-go, ric-app/hw-python, ric-app/mc, ric-app/bouncer, ric-app/rc, and scp/ric-app/kpimon. Note that the other ric-app repos are obsolete. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". In order to deploy the E release xApps, you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here and the instructions on testing the xApps can be found here. |

Mission: E2 updates with first E2APv1.1 support and improvements in E2 subscription handling. Original primary goals: Update to E2APv1.1 (E2 Node configuration transfer in E2 Setup and E2 Configuration Update (RIC-638, even if likely changing again in E2APv2.0) and E2SM OID support in internal E2SM function query interfaces (RIC-640)) // RIC-809 Subscription manager to delete subscriptions in case of E2 disconnect (incl. Xapp changes) // RIC-796 sub mgr and xapp-frame error cases // |

Status 2021-12-03: we are working on implementing the last planned development items below. From 08: From the 29 epics planned (link) we implemented so far 11 16 (link). 11 13 items have been moved out of the E release, e.g, because of implementation delays (link). We expect 6 items to still complete and one item (RIC-375) is still under discussion what to do with it (link). RIC-113 (DB) - expected to complete by Dec-3 RIC-779 to complete by Dec-7, RIC-790, RIC-816 asked from Sunil. RIC-375 discussion with Anssi+Juha on whether we move this to F RIC-640 + RIC-638 Subhash commented: "(likely done by Dec-6) " Incomplete items: 0 (link). |

Make sure to replace the URL with correct repositories. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". The complete list of repositories belonging to the RIC platform is defined here: Scope of the near-RT RIC platform and its components (summary). In order to deploy the E release of the near-RT RIC platform you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here. The same instructions as always apply, i.e., follow the general latest instructions: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-ric-dep/en/latest/ → Installing Near Realtime RIC in RIC Cluster, but make sure to use "git clone --branch e-release ..." instead of "git clone ..." when cloning it/dep and ric-plt/ric-dep. If you clone it/dep and use the "ric-dep" as submodule, make sure to run: "cd ric-dep; git checkout e-release" after "git submodule update --init --recursive --force" |
