Reviewed Slicing End-to-End call flows presented by user-30c9d. Need verification from Viavi on pre-configuration of Slices within Core and UE simulator to request admission to a Slice.

Reviewed VES Project to EPIC list presented by David Kinsey, need to work on iteration and resource mapping. Need OAM, SMO, and SIM PTLs

Discussed PTP Grand Master availability in the lab. David Kinsey to reach out to Nokia for status on FHG and how it provides/interfaces to PTP. E-mail sent today.

Meeting Held for discussion on Release "E" Disaggregated VES

Reviewed proposal and discussed options. No Conclusions yet as this was more informatory. Next Meeting will try to work on specific deliverables by project.

The attached presentation includes comments and on-going work between David Kinsey and Martin Skorupski which will be reviewed with the larger team at the next RSAC call.

Meeting recording to be listed to the right once it is available.

Went through Release "D" Flow:

• ODU-High still working a segmentation fault but have sent one message to O-DU low and should be enough to verify ODU-Low to O-RU
• Other Messages to follow working for UE Attach
• O-CU binary has been delivered to lab next step is to integrate with ODU-High and Core Simulator
• Once all these are done should be able to UE attach
• For ODU-High to SMO verified PNP VES will trigger netconf hello
• Simple Yang will be provided by Martin Skorupski which allows control of the link
  • Please see
    • wiki: Use case driven YANG modules for O-DU
    • ODUHIGH-322 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • gerrit: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/scp/oam/modeling/+/5870

• near-RT RIC will get the O-DU ID and send the change state to "ACTIVE".
• David Kinseytook an action to get an OTF/INT project representative for the RSAC.

Meeting recording listed to the right.

Went through Release "D" Control Loop:

• Alignment of DMaaP Topics across projects
• Confirmed proposed YANG for O-DU is being analyzed by the O-DU team, should have an answer by next weeks call.
• Confirmed Config was sent to O-RU team, ODU Team needs to know how to initiate pairwise testing
• Reaching out to contributors for E2SIM modifications for Traffic Steering Use case
• David Kinseywill Reach out to OTF team for OTF E2SIM integration at the same time
• David Kinsey will work with user-59b16 to work with Taiwan University to see how best to use them for Integration Project. They likely will not have a FHG in their environment and therefore are missing O-DU functionality for Hybrid or Hierarchical support models to the O-RU.
• SMO discussion was deferred as Mahesh had another meeting commitment. Nothing major pending.
