OSC SMO Meeting Series: Reminder from previous weeks:

OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call this week

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • As per last week:

    • Finalizing ONAP J release for A1 Policy Management Service

    • Working towards ONAP Kohn release requirements

    • Repo moves almost complete. 

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

    • Working on PoC Service Exposure - with a view towards R1

      • Examining 3GPP CAPIF spec

      • Will update more as this matures - still very early - hopefully a demo in coming weeks (@Kevin Timoney )

  • @abhghgh1 What is the status of R1 interface - would like to start working on some rApps etc.

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) implementable R1 specs are still not well-defined yet - but making good progress in O-RAN Alliance WG2

      • Updates in latest release - not public yet, but available to view in O-RAN Alliance working pages Working Group 2 (Login needed?) - https://oranalliance.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NonRTRIC/overview

      • Very active discussions - join in! 

      • Work in OSC is still a bit early to call it "rApps" or "R1" - what we work on is pre-R1 and pre-spec rApps - with the hope that what we do will be useful to provide input for standardization, and may be useful once specs firm up more.

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

  • Waiting for info from Northeastern re NS3 E2 sim (initial committers etc.) to create new repo.

  • Still looking at SonarCloud for C++ code.

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

  • No update - @Martin Skorupski on Vacation

O-DU (@Hariom Gupta @Vidhu (Deactivated))

  • @Hariom Gupta (Deactivated) No news this week

OSC Integration / INT (@James Li )

  • @James Li Working with OTF team

    • Trying to get A1 health-check & A1 Sim running for OTF

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Issue with Python: Works locally for us. Issue may be related to lots of conflicting libraries/dependencies loaded into Python execution env. Try create a clean "Virtual Python execution environment" then retest. E.g. https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/. Or just run in Docker?

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Also just noticed that an update was needed for the app - updated today & available in OSC Docker Staging

      • Does it need a full SMO/Non-RT-RIC environment? @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Think just need an A1-PolicyManagementService. (And an A1 SIM or near-RT-RIC)

    • Near-rt-ric running - trying to use for OTF workshop - some issues with xApp on boarding & VTH.

    • OTF demo/workshop did not happen this week as a result.

RSAC/SMO (@David Kinsey [AT&T])

  • OTF demo/workshop did not happen this week.

  • Was mentioned team are still struggling with Clock signal setup

  • Prof. Ray (Uni Taiwan)'s team has deployed OAI CU with OSC O-DU

    • Possibility of some collaboration / code sharing!

    • May be discussed at TOC tomorrow.
