  • Wrapping up ONAP Kohn tasks for A1-Policy Management Service

    • e.g. Docs

  • Service Exposure:

    • Continuing work on this topic

    • Still need to push up some of the artifacts from the demo a few weeks ago

    • Working on a CAPIF core implementation - backend for service registry & discovery etc.

      • Will continue across next release

  • Data Exposure

    • Still working on PM collection, filtering & distribution

    • Trying to find a solution for Data exposure enforcement similar to SEF enfocement

      • ,,, but need some additional work, e.g. to restrict/allow access in kafka (Non-REST interfaces)

  • Working on rApp manager - lots to do there!

    • Plan to experiment with rApp packaging, onboarding, LCM

      • Reusing alot from ONAP ACM work

      • Extending rApp catalogue (Stub version in earlier releases)

      • Working on some options for rApp Package

  • Making updates on it/dep charts for SMO/NonRTRIC/rApp-tests

    • Hope to demo next week!  @Aravindhan Ayyanathan 

  • Preparing G Release

  • Trying to consolidate a list of topics for H Release

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

  • Preparing G release

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

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

  • No Update

OSC Integration / INT (@James Li )

  • No update this week

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

    • SMO (esp Tacker)

    • INF

    • AI/ML

AI/ML platform project (@SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL )

OSC AI/ML Discussion - Release H & Overlap (@SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL)

  • Integration in SMO, Non-RT-RCI, near-RT-RIC

    • Ref slides at https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/13697098/AIMLFW_workflow_v2.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1668692819512&api=v2

    • Data Access - Training & Inference @SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL @John Keeney (Ericsson EST)

      • Can probably use NONRTRIC ICS (as a DME)

        • ... but needs updates, will examine if bulk/datalake could be accessed?

      • What about data from near-RT-RICs to SMO/Training platform?

        • Currently O1 (PM or Trace) is the only way .. BUT discussions about a new Y1 interface might make analytics data from near-RT-RICs (or other RAN functions)

          • But in the meantime, lets just assume the data can get there.

      • Assist rApp: What about rApp-rApp communitions - Data must use R1-DME, Services must use R1-SME (with all necessary registration, & have an R1 types defined)

        • An rApp can have multiple uServices - but intra-rApp interaction does not need to use R1

    • LCM or ML-based rApps (or the ML-based uService inside an rApp)

      • Currently, ML model is wrapped in an image including the inference platform, then deployed using KServe (no Helm chart)

        • ... Not sure yet how to do this with ONAP ACM manager ... Maybe a new participant?)

    • Relationship AIHP in Non-RT-RIC might use NFO? Unclear still

    • @Martin Skorupski Upgrade parts of an rApp?

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) ... maybe ... but easier to just stop, upgrade, restart

ONAP Use cases (@N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

  • No update this week

ONAP Kohn Release (@Timo Perala )

  • No update this week

Question:

  • None this week
