OSC SMO Meeting Series: Reminder from previous weeks:

OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call this week

  • https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/TOC#ORANSCTechnicalOversightCommittee(TOC)
    • Note Time change for TOC calls from May 5th onward
      • +1 day & 1hr. Thursdays  (Thursday 9AM EST)
      • Timeslot is currently used by RSAC/SMO (RSAC/SMO will take the timeslot originally used for TOC)
      • Keep watching calendar as updates are ongoing  
    • OTF readout likely will happen next week at RSAC call (Note changing time for RSAC call - moved to Wednesday - taking the old OSC TOC timeslot)
    • VIAVI presented plans for RAN simulator/emulator & extensions for future use cases - particularly the mMIMO use case.
    • New ns-3-based E2/RAN simulator contribution proposed by Northeastern University (with inputs from Mavenir & University of Padua)
      • Will act as an E2 simulator for near-RT-RIC as an ns-3 5G simulations using OSC E2 Simulator
      • License: GPL
      • New repo required.

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

  • Finalizing ONAP J release for A1 Policy Management Service
  • Working towards ONAP Kohn release requirements
  • Repo moves almost complete.
  • And, as per last week:
    • Working on e2e PM data - making it available over pre-R1 DME (OSC NONRTRIC) Information Coordination Service)
    • Working on PoC Service Exposure - with a view towards R1
      • Examining 3GPP CAPIF spec
      • Will update more as this matures - still very early - hopefully a demo in coming weeks (Kevin Timoney (big grin))
  • See discussion on ONAp use cases below.

SIM (Alex Stancu)

  • Northeastern University (& Mavenir, Padua University) approved to contribute an E2 simulator plugin for NS3.
    • Discussed at TOC this week (see above)

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

  • Looking at Prometheus for O-Cloud metrics (With Grafana? for visualization)
    • Possible to add to the base OSC SMO integration package?
  • Examining O-Cloud specs & relevance for OAM. G release most likely.

O-DU (Hariom Gupta Vidhu Shekhar Pandey)

  • VES event production & fault event validation (schema reference): Working now (smile)
    • Will give a review soon
    • Martin Skorupski Note Std-defined (FM?) messages are not yet visible in SDNR ODLux - will add soon
      • Maybe add support for different Std-defined events

OSC Integration / INT (James Li )

  • OTF workshop planned for RSAC call next Wed (see TOC vs RSAC time changes above)
    • OTF installed in Bedminster Lab

RSAC/SMO (David Kinsey)

  • No update

Copyright Update (N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

  • Need to get feedback back to Magnus Buhrgard about plans to use 3GPP artifacts in ONAP
  • Some discussion at O-RAN WG10 call about O-RAN→ 3GPP LS - but OSC out of scope there.
    • Probably should aim for more liaison OSC → 3GPP?

ONAP Use Cases Update  (N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

  • Working on SON use case requirement for K release
    • Moving from O1-based to A1-based
      • rApp would likely need to be aware whether it is using A1 or O1 - Currently R1 plans for 2 separate logical functions(?)/service(?) for O1 vs A1 ... maybe later R1 might have a more abstract (e.g. Intent) interface ?
      • Updating ONAP NetSIM for A1 etc. & plugable simualtor use-case logic
    • Hope to rApp-ify & extend the Control-loops ("Automation Compositions") used  - will work with ONAP Policy team Liam Fallon )
      • Should have a Call soon between SON team, N.K. Shankaranarayanan, Liam Fallon & John Keeney
      • Currently messages are DMaaP (Control Loop messages) ... Will that work?
        • Will work for A1 PolicyManagementService (has a DMaaP NBI) - but this is not very R1-ey
    • Still have a few weeks - but need to make progress (smile)

Q/A

  • None this week - have a good week!
