Near-Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller Platform (E2 Interface) (RICPLT)

Original primary goals based on contributions from Nokia, Samsung, Capgemini, Alexandre Huff (UTFPR), GS Lab and Abhijit G:

Contributions related to E2 interfaces

~~RIC-993 (CG): Near-RT RIC conflict management~~
RIC-933 (CG) : Adding support for CU/DU in E2T/E2M/RNIB
~~RIC-967 (CG) xApp-facing interface for subscription delete required (added on 2023-08-23)~~
~~RIC-994 (S): Support for E2APv3.0~~
~~RIC-995 (S): Support for RIC Query~~
~~RIC-996 (S) Support for Subscription modifications (dhiraj interested as reviewer)~~
~~RIC-387 = ~RIC-383 (S): Support for E2 reset from RIC to RAN (completes also RIC-383) (prio1) (Dhiraj interested as reviewer, but we had earlier discussion on this) -~~
~~RIC-997 (N): Handling of RIC Error indication _during_ E2 setup~~
RIC-963 (GS) modify src code to be more lenient in ordering of IEs in ASN.1

Other contributions

RIC-998 (S): K8S operators for deploying/undeploying xApps
RIC-999=~RIC-972 (S): A1 alignment with A1AP (still under investigation. Minimum is using correct URL)
~~RIC-954 (S): DMS Rest API support for deleting/undeploy xApps (DMS REST is 2nd ifc addressing same space as dmscli)~~
Already late in H: RIC-985 (UTFPR) IPv6 support for RMR
~~RIC-705 (H) update xappframework for c++ to change in xApp registration~~
~~RIC-1000 (R): Support for only-IPv6 in RIC-internal interfaces~~
RIC-1004 (AG): Xapp Rust Framework enhancement after initial basic Xapp Framework Support
RIC-1027 (S) K8S operators for deploying/undeploying Near-RT RIC
~~RIC-950 implement test cases for xapp-frame-cpp~~
~~RIC-853 Implement subscription delete in Bouncer and E2Sim~~
RIC-1018 A single helm chart for RIC platform deployment

Support for Integration project's pairwise-testing goals

ODU-high with near-RT RIC: moving from RIC stub to E2 messages with actual RIC
RIC xApp and near-RT RIC: using KPIMon/bouncer xApp or maybe CCC xApp. Maybe xApps can also be used to demonstrate conflict detection
non-RT RIC and near-RT RIC: providing standalone A1 mediator for CI testing of non-RT RIC.

Link to planned Jira work items: link

Achieved I release highlights = high-level release notes (2023-06-20) below (note that the release image list is here: link)

E2 Support for disaggregated RAN, i.e., CU-UP, CU-CP, and DU as identified with gNB ID in E2Setup. E2 nodes identified in RNIB, e.g., like this: gnbd_999_999_AAAAAAAA_BBBBBBBBB (longest case)
E2 subscription manager supports config parameter to ignore ordering of certain IEs if peer E2 node does not comply with spec.
In addition to supporting deployment of RIC platform with existing "install <recipe>" script we now also support (un)deployment via (1) umbrella helm chart and (2) via Kubernetes operator.
Kubernetes operator for deploying xApps as alternative to dms_cli
Enhancements in xApp framework for RUST to get closer to feature parity with xApp frameworks for other languages.

The I release fixes the following two security issues: RIC-991: "CVE-2023-40997 RMR: Crashes caused by improperly formatted packets", and RIC-989: "CVE-2023-40998 RMR: Negative Packet Size Causes Crash". Additionally we fixed 9 bugs (link) and did 3 small implementation tasks (link)

Filled in end-of-release checklist: Release criteria checklist - Release I

PTL: Thoralf Czichy

Status 2023-12-05: From the 20 epics planned (link) we implemented 7 (link). 13 items have been moved out of the I release, e.g, because of implementation delays (link). Incomplete items: 0 (link). Additionally we fixed 9 bugs (link) and did 3 small implementation tasks (link)

I release source code, container images and deployment instructions

The list of container images for the release (link). A demo video for the I release deployment is available at the top of the demo page and shows

how to deploy the near-RT RIC platform,
compile connect the E2 (e2 node) simulator from the OSC simulator project and
compile the hw-go xapp from the xapp project and use the dms_cli to deploy it and check the E2 subscriptions the xApp created.
