Questions / Comments / AOB:

• @Varadarajan In NONRTRIC, what is the relation to CAPIF?
  
  

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) As part of SME we need a service registry & APIs for service registration & discover. 3GPP already define some functions and APIs for this: CAPIF (ref: Release H - CAPIF) 

  • ... So we would like to reuse if possible, pending on-going specification in O-RAN Alliance WG2

    • Some discussion already in O-RAN WG2 about reusing CAPIF, so O-RAN spec alignment with SA6 CAPIF will continue there.

  • Please take a look at our CAPIF implementation: Hopefully aligned but not promising compliance with 3GPP spec

    • Release H - CAPIF

    • nexus3.o-ran-sc.org:10002/o-ran-sc/nonrtric-plt-capifcore:1.1.0

  • @Varadarajan(Previously?) Worked in 3GPP SA6 team so would welcome feedback on CAPIF to SA6 delegates

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Have already given some feedback internally in Ericsson, but main alignment should happen between O-RAN WG2 & 3GPP SA6.
