View and manage producers and jobs for the Information Coordination Service

Configure A1 Policy Management Service (add/remove near-rt-rics)

Interacts with the A1-Policy Management Service & Information Coordination Service (REST NBIs) via Service Exposure gateway

 Implementation:

NONRTRIC (Spring Cloud) Service Gateway (Release I)

Enable Apps and the Control Panel to use A1 Services

A basic API gateway using spring cloud gateway which then exposes two Non-RT-RIC functions: A1 Policy Management Service & Information Coordinator Service.

Can add predicates through code or yaml (preferred) and in Non-RT-RIC.

NONRTRIC gateway code can be found at:

Documentation: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-gateway/reference/html/#gateway-starter

Initial exposure candidates include A1 (NONRTRIC) services & O1 (OAM/SMO) services

A1 Policy Management Service (from ONAP CCSDK – Montreal)

A1 Policy Controller Service above A1 Adapter that provides:

Unified REST & DMaaP APIs for managing A1 Policies in all near-RT-RICs

Operations:

  • Query A1 Policy Types in near-RT-RICs
  • Create/Query/Update/Delete A1 Policy Instances in near-RT-RICs
  • Query Status for A1 Policy Instances

Maintains (persistent) cache of RAN’s A1 Policy information

  • Support RAN-wide view of A1 Policy information

Release I: rApp Manager

Information Coordinator Service (ICS) (Release I)

A service that coordinates Information Jobs, producers and consumers. Also acts as an A1 Enrichment Information Controller.

ICS is a data subscription service which decouples data producers from data consumers. A data consumer can create a data subscription (Information Job) without any knowledge of its data producers (one subscription may involve several data producers). A data producer has the ability to produce one or several types of data (Information Type). One type of data can be produced by zero to many producers.


A data consumer can be an R-App using R1 APIs, or a near-RT RIC using the A1-EI API (where the subscribed data is more specifically called "Enrichment Information").
A data consumer can have several active data subscriptions (Information Job). One Information Job consists of the type of data to produce and additional parameters, which may be different for different data types. These parameters is not defined or limited by this service and may for instance include:

Parameters related to delivery (Kafka stream, callback URL etc.). These are different for different delivery protocols.

Filtering information (scope, filter or other discriminators).

Periodicity

Other info used for aggregation

Repository and documentation about the service can be found at:

https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/nonrtric/plt/informationcoordinatorservice

https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-nonrtric-plt-informationcoordinatorservice/en/h-release

DMaaP/Kafka Information Producer Adapters (Release I)

Configurable mediators to take information from DMaaP (& Kafka) and present it as a coordinated Information Producer

Two alternative implementations to allow Information Consumers to consume DMaaP or Kafka events as coordinated Information Jobs.
These configurable adapters/mediators act producers of Information Coordinator Service (ICS) jobs by polling topics in DMaaP Message Router (MR) or Kafka and pushing the messages to a consumer.
