Topics:
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.
SMO
No update
SIM
No update
OAM
No update
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 )
