OSC Project roundup

OSC Cherry Rapidly approaching! (Release early Dec)

NONRTRIC (John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• No major update. Trying to wrap up Cherry release.
• OSC NONRTRIC Cherry Demo last Friday: 2020-12-04 - OSC NONRTRIC Cherry Demo

SMO

• No update.

SIM (Alex Stancu)

• No update - Also pushing for OSC Cherry release.

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• Cherry Demo: https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OAM/Use+case+demonstration
• Most/all deliverables are now delivered from ONAP not OSC. So OSC OAM will not likely release further work.
  
  • Exception is Yang Validator with with SMO: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=oam.git;a=tree;f=solution/dev/smo/yang-validator
  • Discussion with TSC at next meeting
  • ONAP Functions used: SDNC for O1-CM/Netconf, PM-Mapper, VES collector (7.1), Alarm lists, DMaaP, etc. Using OOM helm.
    • (SMO/OAM Deployment in kubernetes using OOM)
    • Sandeep Shah Martin Skorupski VES 7.1: File ready, PNF registration, Fault. But not CM notify requires 7.2 (Will check with DCAE teamwhat will be available in VES 7.2)
    • Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] ONAP PMSH for PM activation collection? Martin Skorupski Assume collection is enabled, just send "File Ready" event to trigger colelction. No actual functions available for PM activation John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Once use cases get more mature we will probably need PMSH. No need right now. Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] See Netconf via CDS to enable/disable jobs. See demo in ONAP. Martin Skorupski Demo/solution might be already useful for O-RAN O1 models.
    • Multiple PNF Registration event? Martin Skorupski Just check connectivity after reception of event. If multiple copies just re-register again. So no issue. Multiple events have pros/cons e.g. on function restart etc.. JIRA ticket might be needed?
• (Plans for Dawn: OAM Dawn)

ONAP - OSC

• TOSCA Defined Control Loop PoC in ONAP:
  • Liam Fallon Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson]
    • TOSCA Defined Control Loop: Architecture and Design
    • See video at 00:23:10
  • Much more flexible way to define control loops in ONAP.
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Could perhaps add A1-PolicyManagementService & A1-EnrichmentInformationCoordinator as participants? (TBC)
  • Earlier version of Demo here: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/display/LN/2020-10-13+-+ONAP+Control+Loop+in+TOSCA+Demo
  • Currently a PoC in ONAP. Ambition for ONAP Istanbul for full functionality
  • Martin Skorupski Will multi-tenancy be supported? Liam Fallon Currently being studied. But cannot foresee major problems.
  • Kamel Idir Replacing DCAE Designer? Liam Fallon Will work together with DCAE designer & DCAE Mod. Not intended to replace, but be complimentary. Hopefully functions/apis provided can be used by them later.

• ONAP Usecases:

  • (Please see:  Potential ONAP <-> O-RAN collaboration use cases )

Other

• Swaminathan S Any chance of the YANG models becoming available? Martin Skorupski Cannot answer. Very complex & ongoing. No solution for licensing issues. Please explicitly email Martin with issues to trigger further possible investigation.
• Swaminathan S Any update on VES 7.2 CM-Notify (see above). Martin Skorupski Need to check with the VES Collector team in ONAP.
• Pawel SlowikowskiHas kicked off Samsung-internal discussions about hopefully providing to the community Handover Simulator demonstrated before
• Swaminathan S ONAP RAN simulator - used in Network Slicing usecase - is probably useful for people in OSC too? Will demo further in Jan 2021?
  • (From last week's minutes: Updated by Swaminathan S : 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) Swaminathan S Please mention simulator to Former user (Deleted) in OSC RSAC. Might be useful to liaise re ONAP Slicing / O-RAN Slicing Use Case alignment & collaboration.

See you Next Year. Happy Christmas!
