NONRTRIC (John Keeney)
- Service Exposure Manager - Started - New function pulling together previous work. Unlikely to deliver in this release
- O-RAN Spec API compliance for R1-SME, R1-DME (TBC), R1-A1, A1
- A1 & R1-A1 in good state right now.
- Will continue to make small changes as needed.
- Working on how to describe outgoing calls
- R1-DME will likely need alot of work as R1-DME specs mature
- R1-SME interface being defined as part of "Service Exposure Manager" (above).
- A1 & R1-A1 in good state right now.
- Making good progress on rApp manager.
- Adding support for DME integration now.

- Adding support for DME integration now.
OpenAPI-first in A1-PMS & ICS
A1-PMS changes in ONAP CCSDK/oran merged now
- ICS still to do.
- Pairwise test A1 Policy functions in near-RT-RIC & NONRTRIC
- Some changes in A1-Mediator in near-RT-RIC plt in H-Release.
- Working fine in our function tests,
- Working on Pairwise test for Integration environment -
- Will need help from James Li (email)
- Add A1-PMS & maybe a A1 SIM to near-RT-RIC deployment ? add in some NONRTRIC A1 functions?
- Current xApp deployed (KPIMon Go) does not use A1 Policies - so we need an A1-enabled xApp to be added
- James Li & Naman Gupta might be able to help. Hello-World xApp should be OK, or Traffic Steering?
- Some changes in A1-Mediator in near-RT-RIC plt in H-Release.
SIM (Alex Stancu)
- ONF have a deployed near-RT-RIC. Should consider this for pairwise testing too. (For traffic steering)

- Ongoing
- Now supports handover areas between cells.
- 1x 5G Core per SMO

- fransiscus bimo Working to generate dataset of Energy Saving use case
- fransiscus bimo making progress on the rApp - but work to do about how to describe/package/manage the rApp
- Will see NONRTRIC rApp Manager Demo below.

NONRTRIC rApp Manager - Demo & Discussion (Aravindhan Ayyanathan)
- Slides:
- Video:
- Makes a lot of use of ONAP ACM to support rApps that contain a composition of K8s microservices, ML Models, Policies, Workflows, Configuration, A1 Policy, etc
- Multiple rApp instances for rApp types
- rApp is Lifecycle Managed as a single composition of App elements
- Different Element types are handled by pluggable 'Participants'/Handlers
- Current Participants: K8s/Helm, A1 policy, ONAP Policy, KServe (ML), HTTP configurator, DME, others
- Different Element types are handled by pluggable 'Participants'/Handlers
- Adds Service Management & Exposure - SME (Not already supported in ACM)
- All produced & Consumed services are described in App package, so Service Registration & Service Discovery needs to be handled.
- Uses NONRTRIC CAPIF Core function
- R1-SME aligned
- Add Data Management & Exposure - DME (Not already supported in ACM)
- All produced & consumed Data Types are described in App package, so Data Producer Registration & Data Type Discovery & Data Job creation needs to be handled.
- Uses NONRTRIC Information Coordinator Service
- Similar to R1-DME
- Prototype rApp Package presented - Not yet Stable!
- rApps, rApp instances have well-defined state models
- Call sequences for various rApp & rApp Instance workflows presented.
- Demo:
- Show a sample rApp package
- Deploy & prime the rApp
- Create one instance - showing all its constituent parts configured, started & running. Service & Data types registed & discovered, Data Jobs created.
- Delete the created instance - showing all its constituent parts stopped & removed
