Last Week: Show/Tell/Demo/Discussion about Service Work (pre-R1): NONRTRIC Project (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Kevin Timoney)

• Last Week: Show/Tell/Demo/Discussion about Service Work (pre-R1): NONRTRIC Project

  • Discussion page in OSC NONRTRIC wiki: Release F: Coordinated Service Exposure

• @Martin Skorupski Could this same approach be used for xApps in nearRTRIC?

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Not very knowledgeable on nearRTRIC platform, but guess that xApps are completely isolated/hidden outside nearRTRIC instance & most required platform services (& other xApps) are known a-priori?.

    • Guess ric-plt/ricdms and ric-plt/appmgr provide the functionality to onboard & instantiate xApps and manage controlled access between them .... More detail from the Near Realtime RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) project.
