OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call last week

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

  • Initial proposals for J Release are ongoing:
    • Tentative headline goals:
      • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities
      • Continue work on Service Manager - again pulling together alot of work on Service Exposure in previous releases
        • may be able to get an early alpha version released at I Maintenance Release time.
      • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment
      • May need to de-prioritise some of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.
      • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.
  • Maintenance I-Release
    • Still have an issue with A1 compatibility between A1-PMS and near-RT-RIC A1 Mediator. Hoping to make progress & fix together with A1-Mediator team for Maintenance Release. 
    • Maybe Service Manager
  • Some tickets open with LF:
  • Working through reviews for changes to it/dep charts. Main focus on A1-PMS configuration functionality & state. Still verifying
  • Awaiting some feedback from Gururajaroa Bandalakunta (Tech Mahindra) working with DTAG using NONRTRIC functions. Ref last week

  • OAI-function RAN (DU, CU) Orchestration in Nephio
    • Plan for Helm-based (current) and KPT-based (future)
      • Nephio KPT-based will require R2 packages deployed from FOCOM.
    • Will start work in OSC (helm), and port/upstream to Nephio (KPT)
    • Start with deployment, then deletion as stretch goal.
  • Maybe later look at OSC SIM Simulator (helm charts) - but want to co-work with Nephio - and OSC SIM is not a focus in Nephio currently.
    • Similar for Near-RT-RIC helm charts.
  • Lots of work needed: NFO; reuse/dev of DMS; overlapping work in ONAP (SO, CNFM) and OSC (INF, RIC, INT, OAM)
  • Lots of work to do finding/configuring labs to test/validate. Will start with single cluster, then at least 2.
  • Hope eventually to see e2e connectivity with OAI soft-UE and Core.
  • Inventory and SO are out of scope.
  • Further discussion st next SMO and Nephio calls
