This page describes how to demonstrate the entire flow for Non-Realtime RIC using release DInformation Job/Producer/Consumer management, and A1 Policy Management.

Overview of the End to End call

Details of the architecture can be found from the following link: Release DE

Preparation

It is recommended to use it/dep repo as it has ready to use helm charts and test data to create and populate data into nonrtric k8s deployment. 

Instruction can be found in Deploy NONRTRIC in this pageKubernetes.

End to end call from Policy Management

End to End call from Policy Control GUI to Near-RT RIC simulator

Perform Policy Operations via Control Panel

• Open Control Panel in browser. To check which port your control panel is running, the following command can be used:

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  kubectl get svc -n nonrtric controlpanel NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE controlpanel NodePort 10.111.91.199 <none> 8080:30091/TCP,8081:30092/TCP 168m

  
  

In this case port for HTTP connection would be 30091 and for HTTPS 30092.

Pic is out of date!

• Click on Policy Control and the screen below with policy types should open

Wrong Pic?!

• For each policy type there is a '+' icon to create a new policy of that specific type. Click on '+' icon to create new policy

Image Modified

• Choose your ric from drop-down menu and provide any arbitrary values for QoS Id, Ue Id -ID, UE-ID and Priority

• Submit the policy
• An entry to the chosen Near-RT RIC simulator console/log should appear (see, for example, kubectl logs -n nonrtric a1-sim-osc-0 in case ric1 policy was created):

Information Coordinator Service

Pic is out of date!

From the Control Panel, Producer and Jobs can only be listed. 

The enrichment coordinator service is not exposed outside the k8s cluster, hence the commands for populating enrichment data need to be run from within the clusterPic is out of date!

The Information Coordination Service (ICS) is not exposed outside the k8s cluster, hence the commands for populating Information Jobs/Consumers/Producers need to be run from within the cluster.

In order to execute other actions such as create, modify and delete, curl can be use to interact with Enrichment Information ICS API using NodePort from control panel.

In this example, test data is been used, so there is no real producer connected.
