xAppFramework

Reference Implementation Based on near-RT RIC

This section documents the details of the O-RAN App SDK which is primarily covering the implementation for near-RT RIC xApps.

information about how the O-RAN App SDK will evolve to cover other O-RAN apps can be found here.

Description

The C++ framework allows the programmer to create an xApp object instance, and to use that instance as the logic base. The xApp object provides a message level interface to the RIC Message Router (RMR), including the ability to register callback functions which the instance will drive as messages are received; much in the same way that an X-windows application is driven by the window manager for all activity. The xApp may also choose to use its own send/receive loop, and thus is not required to use the callback driver mechanism provided by the framework.
