NONRTRIC Control Panel (Release I)

...

With the OSC NONRTRIC Control Panel you can: 

  • View and Manage A1 policies in the RAN (near-RT-RICs)
  • Graphical A1 policy creation/editing is model-driven, based on policy type’s JSON schema
  • View and manage producers and jobs for the Information Coordination Service
  • Configure A1 Policy Management Service (add/remove near-rt-rics)
  • Interacts with the A1-Policy Management Service & Information Coordination Service (REST NBIs) via Service Exposure gateway

 Implementation & Documentation:

...

Enable Apps and the Control Panel to use A1 Services

  • A basic API gateway using spring cloud gateway which then exposes two Non-RT-RIC functions: A1 Policy Management Service & Information Coordinator Service.
  • Can add predicates through code or yaml (preferred) and in Non-RT-RIC.

NONRTRIC gateway code can be found atImplementation & Documentation:

...

NONRTRIC (Kong) Service API Gateway (Release I)

Support Apps to use NONRTRIC, SMO and other App interfaces through a gateway

  • Support dynamic registration and exposure of service interfaces to Non-RT-RIC applications (& NONRTRIC Control panel)
  • Extends a static gateway function specifically for NONRTRIC Control panel
  • Initial version based on Kong gateway function
  • Initial exposure candidates include A1 (NONRTRIC) services & O1 (OAM/SMO) services

A1 Policy Management Service (from ONAP CCSDK – Montreal)

A1 Policy Controller Service above A1 Adapter that provides:

  • Unified REST

...

  • API for managing A1 Policies in all near-RT-RICs
  • Operations:
    • Query A1 Policy Types in near-RT-RICs
    • Create/Query/Update/Delete A1 Policy Instances in near-RT-RICs
    • Query Status for A1 Policy Instances
  • Maintains (persistent) cache of RAN’s A1 Policy information
    • Support RAN-wide view of A1 Policy information
    • Streamline A1 traffic
    • Enable (optional) re-synchronization after inconsistencies / near-RT-RIC restarts
    • Added support for multiple near-RT-RICs (& multi-version support)

...

  • Converged ONAP & O-RAN-SC A1 Adapter/Controller functions in ONAP SDNC/CCSDK
    • (Optionally deploy without A1 Adapter to connect direct to near-RT-RICs)
  • Support for different Southbound connectors per near-RT-RIC - e.g. different A1 versions, different near-RT-RIC version, different A1 adapter/controllers supports different or proprietary A1 controllers/EMSs

Repository and documentation about the service can be found at:

rApp Manager (Release I)

A service to support onboarding, instantiation and life-cycle management of composite rApps.

  • Preliminary composite rApp package
  • Demonstrate controlled LCM of composite rApps with & without µServices
    • ONAP ACM Models & Manager
    • Demonstrate extensible ACM ‘Participant’ approach as types of rApp constituents appear
  • Integration with DME for managing Data Inputs & Outputs
    • incl.: registration, discovery, access control (in&out)
  • Integration with SME for managing Service Inputs & Outputs
    • Incl.: gateway setup, registration, discovery, access control (in&out), service mesh config

Information Coordinator Service (ICS) (Release I)

...

A data consumer can be an R-App using R1 APIs, or a near-RT RIC using the A1-EI API (where the subscribed data is more specifically called "Enrichment Information").
A data consumer can have several active data subscriptions (Information Job). One Information Job consists of the type of data to produce and additional parameters, which may be different for different data types. These parameters is not defined or limited by this service and may for instance include:

  • Parameters related to delivery (Kafka stream, callback URL etc.). These are different for different delivery protocols.
  • Filtering information (scope, filter or other discriminators).
  • Periodicity
  • Other info used for aggregation

A1 Policy Controller / Adapter (from ONAP CCSDK – London)

Optional mediation point for A1 Policy interface termination in SMO/NONRTRIC

  • Implemented as CCSDK OSGI Feature/Bundles
  • A1 REST southbound
  • RESTCONF Northbound
  • NETCONF YANG > RESTCONF adapter

  • Supports A1-Policy (A1-P) and A1-Enrichment Information (A1-EI)
  • Implemented as a Python application
  • Swagger-based northbound interface, so easy to change the A1 profile exposed (e.g. A1 version, A1 Policy Types, A1-EI consumers, etc)
  • All A1-AP versions supported

  • Call-out feature to add applications-specific A1-Policy behaviors (REST & Kafka call-outs supported)
