    • A1 Policy Management Service & A1 Controller Adapter (From ONAP)
    • A1 Enrichment Information Job Coordination Service
    • A1 Simulator
    • NONRTRIC Control Panel (A1-Policy & A1-EI)
    • NONRTRIC Test platform - testing & demonstrating end-to-end A1 interface functions & usecases.
• ONAP Honolulu reqmnt for A1 Policy functions approved through ONAP ArchCom & PTL approved. M1 expected 7thJan
• Former user (Deleted) Question about reuse of ONAP code in OSC at OSC TOC call: John Keeney (Ericsson EST) No issue found. If there is a later divergence we will work it out then
• Former user (Deleted) Same for ONF? John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Don't know. Have had no communications. Would welcome working together if its useful. Hopefully divergence can be avoided.

ONAP - OSC

• ONAP Usecases:
  • Please see:  Potential ONAP <-> O-RAN collaboration use cases 
  • Swaminathan S Use cases & requirements working through requirements & architecture committee. 
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Come see ONAP A1 Policy functions at Demo on Friday(See above)
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) A1 Policy Functions in ONAP H passed Archcom & has PTL Approval
• ONAP E2E Network Slicing Usecase:
  • Swaminathan S Hope to use the A1 interface to nearRTRIC. Come along to ONAP Slicing use case call for more info.
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Which nearRTRIC will you use in that use case: Swaminathan S Not decided yet, maybe Simulator or OSC nearRTRIC.
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) How would a nearRTRIC/RAN-CNF be deployed / stood-up? SDC, Orchestrator. Swaminathan S in Guilin all NFs are already up & running. May move to dynamic instantiation in Honolulu. Lots to do for modelling too in H for RU/DU/CU. Also Mid-haul & Fronthaul & would need to interact with transport slicing functions .... TBC
  • Swaminathan S Will demo slicing in late Jan or early Feb. Would be great to engage O-RAN folks there.
  • Swaminathan S Looking for update on Yang Model ... (Please confirm with Martin Skorupski & O-RAN WG1 team).
  • Swaminathan S Any plans in OSC for Slicing? John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Don't think there is a plan in OSC Dawn to look at slicing. Will of course touch base if there is
• ONAP SON use case
  • Swaminathan S Currently SON has PCI & ANR SON functions. A simulator exists if useful for OSC. The earlier version of the simulator's "Controller" code is available at https://git.onap.org/integration/simulators/ran-simulator. The architecture for Dublin release is available at RAN-Simulator impacts. Further enhancements are being made to it for the E2E Network Slicing case. Will share references once the wiki is updated.
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Any plan to make the SON use case more general for other use cases? If so any way it would align with Control-Loop/Apps in ONAP or rApps in OSC?
    • Swaminathan S Should be possible for other use cases to add their own use cases following SON/Control-loop approach. Will add more use cases if they drive platform capabilities forward.
    • Swaminathan S Also hope to look at control loop interactions (Paused since Frankfurt). Also hope to look more at ML-based SON.
    • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Sounds like good options for alignment. Let's keep doors open

End-to-End use case in OSC

• John Keeney (Ericsson EST) No substantial update this week

Other

• Lasse Kaihlavirta CSIT in ONAP ... Disaggregating CSIT many CSIT functions out to individual projects & more granular. John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Great. A1 Policy functions need to & will align more towards this in ONAP H.

(From last week: Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] Liam Fallon will revert about a quick demo for TOSCA Defined Control Loop PoC in ONAP & TOSCA Defined Control Loop: Architecture and Design in coming weeks )
