NONRTRIC (John Keeney)
- Goodbye to Henrik Andersson one of our first & most prolific contributors for the past 4 years. He'll be missed
- G Maintenance Release - small bug fixes etc
- Image preparation & releases completed. No very significant updates from G Release
- File-based PM data → InfluxDB
- Early demo at AI-MLProject this week
- Will demo here in coming weeks when a little more stable
- Uses tool-chain demonstrated for file-based PM parse filtered & streamed to rApps - now extended to also store in influxDB.
- G-Release: Demonstration: "PM Collection & Delivery to rApps" Demo
- G-Release: Demonstration: "PM Collection & Delivery to rApps" Demo
- Early demo at AI-MLProject this week
- Inference Services in rApps
- Extension to ONAP ACM functions - added a 'KServe Participant'
- Now supports ML Inference services in ACM Apps (rApps) - so they are LCM'ed in a common way - along with other rApps components/elements
- Will demo in a short while when function is a bit more stable / cleaner.

- Release H Planning continues:
(R1) Service Exposure & Management
- CAPIF Aligned Service Registry
- Secured/Sandbox execution environment
- Controlled access & exposure of service to/from rApps
(R1) Data Management & Exposure
- Previous focus on PM data - but will extend to other use cases too
- Aim to work with AIML project for Training (and Inference ?) data access
rApp Management
- Built on ONAP “Automation Composition” model & platform to implement rApp use cases
- rApp-specific extensions needed
- Packaging, Onboarding & Orchestration of rApps
- rApp-specific packaging & Onboarding
- Aim to align with / inform ongoing work in O-RAN (& OSC) about Common App packaging & Onboarding.
- (rApps with & without µService)
- rApp-specific packaging & Onboarding
- Overlap with Service Exposure work to examine role of an rApp Manager to support controlled exposure & LCM of µService and non-µService parts of an rApp
- Built on ONAP “Automation Composition” model & platform to implement rApp use cases
Continued A1-Policy & A1-Enrichment-Information evolution (& R1-A1)
- A1 Spec evolution
- A1-Policy work in ONAP (continues in ONAP London) - candidate for R1-A1(P)
- A1-EI management as part of DME - candidate for how to include A1-EI in R1-DME
- Sample use cases (rApps)
- Requirements Drivers for rApp/R1 development
- High degree of cross-project integration activity

SIM (Alex Stancu)
- Continuing discussions with Northeastern Univ re ns3 simulator plugin - E2 Alignment
- Looking at ves File Ready event, to be O1 compliant
- John Keeney Alex Stancu We should talk about linking up & demoing O1-Simulator → rApp flow mentioned in NONRTRIC section above.
- Could look at extending simulator to continuously/periodly expose PM files. ... But need some samples ... maybe with random data?
- Some discussion on sample PM files ... Does anyone know where we could find an O-RAN O1 compliant sample file?
- Still compliant with 3GPP DU/CU ... Maybe an operator might have a some samples
- John Keeney Alex Stancu We should talk about linking up & demoing O1-Simulator → rApp flow mentioned in NONRTRIC section above.
