NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• OSC NONRTRIC: Release J

• Continuing tasks as mentioned previous weeks:

  • Kicking off Release preparation

  • Continue work our new Service Manager function

    • Improving Documentation & deployment scripts etc

    • Lots still to do! Backlog will continue into next release

  • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities

    • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice

    • Working on SME & DME integration & improvements

  • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment

    • Current API will be maintained but deprecated for several releases to come.

    • Making slow but steady progress.

      • First version of R1 API implemented

      • Lots of work on testing & benchmarking & documentation

  • Still need to get working on a proper A1-Policy Integration test with OSC near-RT-RIC (A1 Mediator)

    • No update from near-RT-RIC team

  • Will need to de-prioritise many of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.

    • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.

Questions / Comments / AOB:

• Updates/Questions in NONRTRIC (DMaapAdapter, CAPIF, Service Manager) @Deena Mukundan @Deena Mukundan @guru raja 

  • Re DMaaP Adapter update suggested: See review https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/nonrtric/plt/dmaapadapter/+/12631 (Merged)

    • Sorry - was unable to add Guru as a reviewer for some reason? Cannot find user in Gerrit. Might need help from LF? Perhaps Guru can log in and add himself as a reviewer, then maybe will be available for future reviews?

  • Requested summary & update of CAPIF & Service Manager functions & APIs.

  • Any specified APIs for rApp monitoring? Currently No - rApp management spec work is still very immature in O-RAN Alliance.

    • In our implementation there is some info avaiable (using ONAP ACM capabilities) - but still very early

• Anyone know more about the O-RAN/LF Internships/Mentorships? 

  • See wiki space: Mentorships Home  

  • Not much info available. For Example, see Analysis of Opensource RICs – A comparative study
