OSC Project roundup

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

• Still working on A1 Enrichment Information coordination function & GUI for this
• A1 v2.0 - extending Simulator & tests
• rApp catalogue - test stub - almost ready

SMO (Mahesh Jethanandani)

• See later about app packaging
  
  • Continuing to test and build an app package format based on ONAP packaging format.
• Working with Alex Stancu  on test infrastructure for trying out O1 models 
  • @santanude has made postman scripts avialalble in SMO repo

SIM (Alex Stancu )

• O1 test infrastructure (above) available in Bedminster OSC lab
• Still does not see how to continue wrt publishing/linking to 3GPP models.
  • Only using the models - but v.hard to not "copy" or "re-distribute" - will continue to try figure this out - this has been going on too long.

OAM (Martin Skorupski )

• Not alot to report
  • reviewing some o-du changes.

ONAP - OSC

• ONAP Calendar - updated by Swaminathan Seetharaman

ONAP Guilin Useacases: Where do we need alignment & chance for collaboration (Swaminathan Seetharaman ) https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+Use+Cases+in+R7+Guilin?src=contextnavpagetreemode

• OOF SON usecase:
  • Should align with O1 CM models / Yang. Current use bbf models. Want to use 3GPP/O-RAN models.
    • Will models become aviallable? Martin Skorupski - Models are available from 3GPP, but sharing in O-RAN is difficult. Difficult to know if O-RAN models will be released in Nov. Train.
      • https://forge.3gpp.org/rep/sa5/MnS/
    • Depends on Honolulu release timeframe - November train versions would not be available until January?
    • Draft O-RU model already available.
  • Sandeep Shah near-RT-RIC model? - Still ongoing & under discussion.
• Slicing usecase
  • Mostly O1 focussed now
    • Would be good to use A1 instead - currently using handcrafted O1
  • Have a weekly O-RAN call already.
  • Sandeep Shah O2 spec? Would be nice for slicing use case etc. - Not published yet.
  • Notification alignment needed.
  • Also considers transport
• A1 Adapter
  • John Keeney In Honolulu will move beyond A1 Adapter - will examine A1 Policy Management & role for rApps R1 etc. Still have alot to do with normal continuing improvements & maturing functionality.
  • Want to focus on use cases too
• Bulk PM
  • Fully aligned right now.
• C&PS
  • Model-driven so should be directly reusable in OSC?
  • SON is a driving use case here.
• VES Alignment
  • Clear how to proceed here. Just need to keep going.

OSC / ONAP alignment

• John Keeney We need frank & open discussions at leadership level to drive collaboration
• John Keeney Sandeep Shah Swaminathan Seetharaman Perhaps should focus on Honolulu / cherry-dawn usecases for overlap. 

NONRTRIC / ONAP A1 PMS - Issue with dynamic confinguration updates

• Lasse Kaihlavirta
  • A first fix is available in OOM from Konrad Bańka - John Keeney please review.
  • https://gerrit.onap.org/r/c/oom/+/114366

NONRTRIC - DMAAP etc: Kuldeep Negi

• DMaap support in OSC & ONAP (Guilin) versions.
• John Keeney need to improve wiki pages & documents.
• SDNR also uses DMaaP NBI, in addition to PMS, - Data collection / vest events etc avaialble on DMaaP too
• John Keeney Will provide some more instructions to Kuldeep
• @Martin: See also O-RAN-SC OAM:  https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/OAM/Deployment and O-RAN-SC INT: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/GS/SMO+Installation for setting up DMaaP etc.

App packaging Mahesh Jethanandani

• Ran out of time. Will cover next week
