• As per last week:
  • Working on e2e PM data - making it available over pre-R1 DME (OSC NONRTRIC) Information Coordination Service)

  • 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.

  • Ref  Automated deployment and testing - using SMO package and ONAP Python SDK

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

• Seems 3GPP are OK for ONAP to reuse terminology, but not clear about reusing / importing entire models ....
  
  • If we reuse lots of terms, the resulting ONAP/OSC models would start to look 'very' like the 3GPP models.
  • So more clarification needed - but an excellent first step.
  • (OSC TOC probably need to secure a similar assurance (LS) for OSC)

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

• Recording: @19:20
• Presented a suggestion to extend RANSim as near-RT-RIC simulator, including an A1 interface and a way to embed app-specific behavior/functionality similar to an xApp.
  • ONAP Rel K
• Slides:
  • NearRT-implementation.pptx 
  • 
• Still considering implementation details.
• Suitable for ONAP SON use case & ONAP Slicing usecase
