Recording

Notes:

Housekeeping:

  • Reminder from previous weeks:

  • O-RAN has declared that recording are kept for 2 weeks only. Does this apply to us? 

    • Is this a requirement, a privacy issue or a cost issue?

    • Not sure - the recording storage quota that we use is currently full - so we may need to delete old cloud recording?

    • All past recording are also available as files uploaded to the wiki pages - May be a  storage issue later, but no plans to delete as yet.

OSC Project roundup:

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • Working hard on integration & documentation tasks now for OSC D release

    • Should soon have access to the it/dep

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Martin Skorupski @Alex Stancu, Felix & Mahesh  - Hope we can catch up to figure out our way through the e2e integration tasks for OSC D release

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Brief feedback of what happened at OSC TOC call this week:  https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TOC/#ORANSCTechnicalOversightCommittee(TOC)-20210609 (Minutes not yet updated at time of writing)

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

  • Simulators are stable & ready to run.

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

  • Working on deployment & integration

  • Considering a DNS - especially for IPv6 address (E release maybe, if needed)

  • Working on docker-compose for integrated deployment of SMO/OAM/SIM/NONRTRIC functions

    • Topology Service:

      • Collaborative work with ONAP Modelling/O-RAN Alliance modelling

O-DU (@Hariom Gupta (Deactivated))

ONAP SMO deployment options (Christophe Closset (AT&T) & @Amar Kapadia (AARNA))

  • Proposal for an ONAP deployment specific for an ORAN SMO

    • Provide tuned override files in OOM for a standalone ONAP SMO

      • Can provide multiple flavours .. e.g. small/medium etc

    • Current OOM override files are quite out of date & may not be robust.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Any chance of deploying non-ONAP functions? e.g. NONRTRIC functions in OSC

    • Christophe: Plan to start small with OOM initially (so no ?)

      • Could perhaps deploy non-ONAP functions (e.g. NONRTRIC, simulators etc) as CNFs ?

      • Not sure CNF is appropriate for SMO/NONRTRIC platform functions - Possibly a good idea for simulators etc that are CNFs/xNFs in the RAN

      • O2 (WG) is partly relevant for CNFs (and maybe for apps) - but not for SMO internals

  • Please discuss more before officially proposing this PoC in ONAP
