Near-Real-time RIC X-APPs (RICAPP) |
---|
Primary Goals: Expand the community working on open source xApps for O-RAN SC. Enhance the set of open source xApps in support of the R-SAC use cases (traffic steering, health check, life cycle management) as well new use cases. Update and enhance existing xApps to take advantage of the new features in xApp SDK (implemented by the xApp frameworks in C++, go, and python). |

E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Each repository has a branch named "dawn" that can be accessed using git. For example, the source code for the AD xApp can be retrieved using "git clone --branch dawn "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-app/ad". The other xApps in the D release can be found at ric-app/qp, ric-app/ts, ric-app/lp, ric-app/hw, ric-app/hw-go, ric-app/hw-python, ric-app/mc, ric-app/bouncer, and scp/ric-app/kpimon. Note that the other ric-app repos are obsolete. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". In order to deploy the D release xApps, you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here and the instructions on testing the xApps can be found here. |
Near-Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller Platform (E2 Interface) (RICPLT) |
---|
Mission: Update to newer O-RAN specs (E2,A1,O2,O1) and related features. Original primary goals: Update to E2APv1.1 (E2 Node configuration transfer in E2 Setup and E2 Configuration Update (even if likely changing again in E2APv2.0) and E2SM OID support in internal E2SM function query interfaces) // support for A1-EI (as per A1APv3.0) // support for O2 as per WG6 use cases // support for RIC-708 O1-CM to xApps // RIC-734 Include time series database into RIC platform (InfluxDB) for usage by xApps // RIC-421 O1 mediator graceful restart with O1 data being persisted over restarts // Concrete alarms from RIC platform (related to message overload): RIC-204, RIC-203 // SDK package, well documented interfaces to be used by xApps via xApp frameworks // Portability SDK (in xApp project) // REST interface for subscription management. 35 Epics planned: link and 11 items as stretch goals: link |
Achieved E release highlights = high-level release notes (2021-06-28) below (note that the release image list is here: Near-RT RIC (D release)) For the E release of the near-RT RIC we did only limited integration testing: only the use case: deploy RIC, deploy xApp and make E2 connection were tested. |

E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Each repository has a branch named "dawn" that can be accessed using git: "git clone --branch dawn "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-plt/e2". Make sure to replace the URL with correct repositories. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". The complete list of repositories belonging to the RIC platform is defined here: Scope of the near-RT RIC platform and its components (summary). In order to deploy the D release of the near-RT RIC platform you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here. The same instructions as always apply, i.e., follow the general latest instructions: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-ric-dep/en/latest/ → Installing Near Realtime RIC in RIC Cluster, but make sure to use "git clone --branch dawn ..." instead of "git clone ..." when cloning it/dep and ric-plt/ric-dep. |
