Near-Real-time RIC X-APPs (RICAPP)

Primary Goals: 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).

F release plan (<date>):

  • New xApps
    • KPIMON-GO by HCL (pushed to next release)
  • Improved xApps:
    • RC (RAN Control) by Mavenir - implements subset of E2 SM RC Ver2.0
    • AD (Anomaly Detection) by HCL: Will identify a new anomaly type (area anomaly), use geo-location as a feature. Dependency on Data Stream from KPIMON to influxDB. (Currently AD is working on Static data).
    • QP (QoE Predictor) by HCL: Include prediction for current serving cell, incorporate predicted load as a feature, provide sequence of predictions.
    • TS (Traffic Steering) by UTFPR (University, Parana, Brazil): Call RC xApp to trigger UE handover, improvements in traffic steering logic.
    • Bouncer by HCL: Increase performance and functional testing capabilities; continue identifying RIC platform bottlenecks.
    • HW (HelloWorld) demo xApps in C++, go and python by AT&T and Samsung: Add usage of more platform features, update usage of platform features that are evolving.
  • VIAVI RIC test tool is used to test Traffic Steering use case.
