    • Calendars Updated - Please check in your timezone!

  • @Konrad Bańka reports no issue joing by phone (ref last week)

  • Reminder from previous weeks:

OSC Project roundup:

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • No major update.

  • Still training & initial prototyping around rApp execution platform - k8s based.

    • Nothing to show yet. Getting closer. Will share in coming weeks.

  • ONAP H release - A1 Policy Functions - getting over the line! (Warnings in gating tests, Documentation, etc)

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

  • Still discussing topology in ONAP: Abstract Topology Model

    • Also getting interest from optical transport people (in ONAP ?) too!

  • O-RAN specs from "November train" now available from O-RAN website

    • Reviewing models with @Alex Stancu. Working on CI pipeline testing etc of models ... will revert to O-RAN Alliance

  • Preparing O-DU use-case prototype model ....

    • Use case driven YANG modules for O-DU 

    • Once ready will let @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) know about the (OpenAPI) api to use to manipulate O-DU via OAM Controller (SDN-R)  i.e. the NBI for SDN-R - Restconf from the yang file.

  • FM

    • Near-RT-RIC xApp alarms? What is it raised alarms? How are they documented?

    • Discussing with O-RU and O-DU about how they expose their FM model?

ONAP - OSC:

  • @Swaminathan S Can not attend this week

 

  • @Lasse Kaihlavirta

    • How will RIC configurations be examined/discovered? @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) A1-PMS does RIC-ID to RIC-URL mapping. @Lasse Kaihlavirta What will R1 do for this?

    • Will A1 Policy keep alive be part of R1? @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Can disabled if you wish. @Lasse Kaihlavirta Will this be in R1?

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) R1 is entirely undefined. We just need to wait for discussions to mature in O-RAN Alliance WG2. Spec process has not yet started. Still at the study phase.

 

  • @Vidhu (Deactivated) Update on O-DU - ODL testing

    • Tested cut-down SMO test environment. Can manually mount the O-DU-high in SDN-R

      • How to do this using pnfregistration VES message etc.

      • @Martin Skorupski will give sample VES message etc to POST to VES Collector

    • Re Closed loop use case & Use case driven YANG modules for O-DU

      • Would like input from @Former user (Deleted)@Former user (Deleted) -  Will discuss at RSAC call tomorrow. Ref 2024 RSAC Meetings

  • Use case specific O-DU model Use case driven YANG modules for O-DU - Should we remove the section for du-to-ru-connection . Not planning to have a netconf connection to O-RU. @Martin Skorupski No. Please leave it there.
