  • Working on a CAPIF core implementation - backend for service registry & discovery etc.
    • Will continue across next release
• Data Exposure
  • Still working on PM collection, filtering & distribution
  • Trying to find a solution for Data exposure enforcement similar to SEF enfocement
    • ,,, but need some additional work, e.g. to restrict/allow access in kafka (Non-REST interfaces)
• Working on rApp manager - lots to do there!
  
  • Plan to experiment with rApp packaging, onboarding, LCM
    • Reusing alot from ONAP ACM work
      
    • Extending rApp catalogue (Stub version in earlier releases)
    • Working on some options for rApp Package
• Making updates on it/dep charts for SMO/NonRTRIC/rApp-tests

• Preparing G Release
• Trying to consolidate a list of topics for H Release

SIM (Alex Stancu)

• Preparing G release
  

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• Trying to figure out what a combined O1/OFHMP NF would look like - esp different ways of using VES,some use netconf-notif vs ves,  different Yang models etc.
• Updated file-ready notification from simulator & handling in OAM.
• H Release
  
  • NODE-RED might be nicer than Camunda for showing what happens with VES-stdDefined
  • Switch to 3GPP rel 18 (currently rel 16)
  • Updates to O1 specs
  • Switch to Kafka native vs. DMaaP
• File-Ready notification
  • e.g. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/oam/+/9827
  • Some sample PM files: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=sim/o1-interface.git;a=tree;f=ntsimulator/deploy/base/pm_files

OSC Integration / INT (James Li )

RSAC/SMO (David Kinsey)

OSC AI/ML Discussion - Release H & Overlap (SANDEEP JAISAWAL)

• Integration in SMO, Non-RT-RCI, near-RT-RIC
  • Ref slides at https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/download/attachments/57377183/AIMLFW_workflow_v2.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1668692819512&api=v2
    
  • Data Access - Training & Inference SANDEEP JAISAWAL John Keeney
    • Can probably use NONRTRIC ICS (as a DME)
      • ... but needs updates, will examine if bulk/datalake could be accessed?
    • What about data from near-RT-RICs to SMO/Training platform?
      • Currently O1 (PM or Trace) is the only way .. BUT discussions about a new Y1 interface might make analytics data from near-RT-RICs (or other RAN functions)
        • But in the meantime, lets just assume the data can get there.
    • Assist rApp: What about rApp-rApp communitions - Data must use R1-DME, Services must use R1-SME (with all necessary registration, & have an R1 types defined)
      • An rApp can have multiple uServices - but intra-rApp interaction does not need to use R1
  • LCM or ML-based rApps (or the ML-based uService inside an rApp)
    • Currently, ML model is wrapped in an image including the inference platform, then deployed using KServe (no Helm chart)
      • ... Not sure yet how to do this with ONAP ACM manager ... Maybe a new participant?)
  • Relationship AIHP in Non-RT-RIC might use NFO? Unclear still
  • Martin Skorupski Upgrade parts of an rApp?
    • John Keeney ... maybe ... but easier to just stop, upgrade, restart

ONAP Use cases (N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

• No update this week

ONAP Kohn Release (Timo Perala )

• No update this week

Question:

• None this week
