Presented to RSAC/SMO meeting last week : Plans & priorities for E Release
ONAP Control Loop -> O-RAN rApp : “The rApp-ification of ONAP Control Loops”
Microservice parts of an rApp
Non-microservice parts of an rApp - exploiting Non-RT-RIC & SMO platform functions
NONRTRIC Service Exposure/Gateway -> O-RAN R1 : “The R1-ification of Service Exposure”
