  • O-RAN f2f in June will be virtual

NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

• As per last week:
  • Working on e2e PM data - making it available over pre-R1 DME (OSC NONRTRIC) Information Coordination Service)
    
    • Making good progress - File-based almost working, and lots of parts of event-based working. Lots of integration.
  • Working on PoC Service Exposure - with a view towards R1 (3GPP CAPIF TS 23.222)
    
    • Will update more as this matures - still very early - hopefully a demo in coming weeks
  • Working on getting Repos set up - e.g. lots of Jenkins jobs.
    • Slow, but making good progress. 
    • Thanks to the LF team!

SIM (Alex Stancu)

• No major update

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• No major update ... working away on dev tasks - Ref OAM JIRAs

O-DU (Hariom Gupta Vidhu Shekhar Pandey)

• Code completed for F release.
• Still struggling with integration - VES Collector & DMaaP.
  • Might help?: https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-dcaegen2/en/latest/sections/services/ves-http/stnd-defined-validation.html 
  • Maybe a shared screen session might help - more eyes might spot something simple ?

RSAC/SMO (David Kinsey)

• No update this week

OSC Integration / INT (James Li )

• OTF demo timeline   ....
  • Seems to be a networking issue?
  • Suggestion to use a NonRTRIC usecase as the demo/motivating use case?
    • John Keeney We don't have the skills or resources to do much with OTF in the short-term, but if the OTF want to use this use case then that's fine.
  • Will likely be discussed at RSAC call tomorrow.
    • https://lists.o-ran-sc.org/g/main/viewevent?repeatid=17297&eventid=1442491&calstart=2022-04-07
• Working on improving Bedminster Lab
  • https://lists.o-ran-sc.org/g/discuss/message/492
  • Will work with PTLs for documentation etc, - installation, operation etc. for integration tests.

SMO Integration Charts (Sébastien Determe, Christophe Closset)

• No update this week.

ONAP Use Cases Update  (N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

• Presented at ITU Focus Group on Autonomous Networks (FG-AN) workshop
  
  • 7th virtual meeting of ITU FG AN
    • https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/an/Documents/Meeting_announcement_March2022.pdf
  • Presented previous DTF topic on Simulations, with some updates for RANSIM - as discussed at this meeting series.
    • Material: https://extranet.itu.int/sites/itu-t/focusgroups/an/input/FGAN-I-228-R1.pptx,  ITU account required. 
    • Positive feedback

• Extending ONAP RANSim with addition A1 & Netconf support etc (Vishal Varate)

  • See slides & recording from last week
  • Discussing Simulator extensions Vishal & John Keeney
  • Need to flesh out objectives for Kohn release requirements etc ... ongoing
• Need to work on preparing requirements etc for Kohn release

ONAP/OSC 3GPP Copyright issues (N.K. Shankaranarayanan, Magnus Buhrgard )

• ONAP TSC agreed to submit LS to 3GPP - awaiting formal response.
• Informal feedback from 3GPP is that we should list how & where 3GPP specs are being used/needed in ONAP.
  • Yang models used in a few places, but not modified.
  • Obviously try to avoid re-distributing or re-publishing spec material verbatim in an extractable way
    • But what about re-generation of a spec document? e.g. query an interface for its model?
    • What about code generated from spec material (e.g. openapi, yang, asn1)
    • What about modified specs?

Update from ONAP Release status etc (David McBride)

• ONAP Jakarta M4 approved last week
  • 1 week slip in Release date
  • Release candidate preparation ongoing
• ONAP Kohn process have started: "M0 Kick off 7 Apr 2022 )
• Discussions ongoing with ONAP-ODL release cadence / alignment in K release.
  • Upcoming issue with non-backward-compatible change in ODL (Restconf format RFC 8040 vs Biermann pre-spec version)

    • https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Switch+from+Biermann-RestConf+to+RFC8040+interface

    • No one seems to know who is using the older Restconf versions so changeover will be tricky

Q/A

• John Keeney What is the status of the VES-based PM Measurement reporting?
  • Any update on when the discussions might kick off in O-RAN Alliance ... we may be getting a bit far ahead in implementing support for this before it is agreed in O-RAN?
  • How much / any of this is proposed for 3GPP?
  • Need to be careful to differentiate Trace/Streaming from event-based PM reporting.
  • David Kinsey is main driver on CRs for this ... Will ask for a status update.
