Architecture for Release A:

NONRTRIC components:

The code base for Release A is in the NONRTRIC source repository (Gerrit)

Graphical user interface

View and Manage A1 policies in the RAN (near-RT-RICs)
Interacts with the Policy agent’s NBI (REST API)
Graphical A1 policy creation/editing is model-driven, based on policy type’s JSON schema
Implementation:
Frontend: Angular framework
Backend Java Springboot application
(To be moved to portal/nonrtric-controlpanel repo)

Please refer this developer guide to set up in your local environment.

The Policy Agent is a micro service which maintains a transient repository of:

All configured A1 policies instances in the network. Each policy is targeted to a Near-RT-RIC instance and is owned by a 'service' (R-APP or the NONRTRIC Dashboard).
All NearRT RICs in the network. This information can be maintained using the ONAP CDS database (which is using the Cloudify Consul database).
All Policy types for all Near-RT-RICs
All configured Policy instances in the network

It provides :

Unified REST & DMAAP APIs for managing A1 Policies in all near-RT-RICs
Synchronized view of policy instances for each R-APP (soon)
Synchronized view of policy instances in all near-RT-RICs
Synchronized view of policy types in all near-RT-RICs
Policy Query API (e.g. per near-RT-RIC, per R-APP (soon), per policy type)
Unified nearRTRIC-ID to nearRTRIC-address mapping (e.g. can include mapping to A&A1, CMDBs etc to “find” near-RT-RICs - soon)
Placeholder “O1 ManagedElement” mapping database interface to find appropriate near-RT-RIC to address A1 operations for required RAN elements (e.g. connection to A&AI, RuntimeDB, other CMDBs etc - soon)
Monitors all near-RT-RICs and recovers from inconsistencies (multiple strategies - soon) – e.g. near-RT-RIC restarts
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

Mediation point for A1 interface termination in SMO/NONRTRIC
