2021-02-02

Status:

  • "Portability SDK" repo request revised and still waiting for enough TOC votes.
  • Viavi simulator discussions to support AD use case:

    • The goal of the scenario is to simulate an anomaly where a small set of UEs are not getting adequate signal strengths due to some temporal event in their locality.

       The RIC will detect the anomaly and may take corrective actions.

       The RAN Simulator will group users into indoor, pedestrian and vehicle groups. Some outdoor users will have less than average throughput and the RIC should identify these as outliers and take action to improve performance. Chosen UEs will fall below a throughput threshold for a period due to an obstacle blocking the signal, which is represented as a shadow-region on the topology map.
