OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call this week

• https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TOC/#ORANSCTechnicalOversightCommittee(TOC)

• Questions to PLT about Sonar reporting & test/quality reports.

  • Best place to start SonarCloud

    • https://sonarcloud.io/organizations/o-ran-sc/projects?sort=-name

  • Some people finding it difficult to get the Jenkins jobs for Sonar working ... will try to coordinate with LF team to avoid asking the same questions over & over

  • Not clear how to show function test or integration test results, and what the functional coverage would be, or what are the requirements

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• As per last week:

  • Working on e2e PM data - making it available over pre-R1 DME (OSC NONRTRIC) Information Coordination Service)

    • Making good progress - File-based almost working, and lots of parts of event-based working. Lots of integration.

  • Working on PoC Service Exposure - with a view towards R1 (3GPP CAPIF TS 23.222)

    • Will update more as this matures - still very early - hopefully a demo in coming weeks

  • Working on getting Repos set up - e.g. lots of Jenkins jobs.

    • Slow, but making good progress. 

    • Thanks to the LF team!

  • Mainly looking at how to simulate role of xApps in simulator etc.

  • More discussion in SON use case calls & emails ongoing

  • May be able to bring an update to this call in a few weeks

SMO Integration Charts (@Sebastien Determe, @ChrisC)

• No update this week.

  • Ref  Automated deployment and testing - using SMO package and ONAP Python SDK

  • 5G SuperBlueprint team are interested in following up here

ONAP/OSC 3GPP Copyright issues (@N.K. Shankaranarayanan, @Magnus Buhrgard )

• Seems 3GPP are OK for ONAP to reuse terminology, but not clear about reusing / importing entire models ....

  • If we reuse lots of terms, the resulting ONAP/OSC models would start to look 'very' like the 3GPP models.

  • So more clarification needed - but an excellent first step.

  • (OSC TOC probably need to secure a similar assurance (LS) for OSC)

Extending ONAP RANSim with addition A1 & Netconf support (Vishal Varate)

• Recording: @19:20

• Presented a suggestion to extend RANSim as near-RT-RIC simulator, including an A1 interface and a way to embed app-specific behavior/functionality similar to an xApp.

  • ONAP Rel K

• Slides:

  •  

• Still considering implementation details.

• Suitable for ONAP SON use case & ONAP Slicing usecase

Q/A
