NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• Maintenance I-Release

  • No deliveries.

• Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities

  • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice

  • Aim to have an updated version in coming weeks

• Continue work on Service Manager - again pulling together alot of work on Service Exposure in previous releases

  • Aim to have a first functional release in coming weeks

• Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment

  • Current API will be maintained but deprecated for several releases to come.

  • New API development ongoing

• Will need to de-prioritise many of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.

  • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.

• Working through reviews for changes to it/dep charts. Main focus on A1-PMS configuration functionality & state.

  • Latest updates merged (Release I). Still verifying. Good progress

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

• From F2F

  • Need to look closer at O2 interface

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

• Good discussion at F2F about transport (Gg9 Wg10)

• Discussions with Wg11 & Wg10 at F2F:

  • Unclear how to progress with security for OAM - Discussing with Wg10

    • OFHM is pretty clear,

    • but O1 is not so clear - e.g. VES.
