RSAC & Prep for O-RAN F2F - Japan - 2-6 June

• 2025-06 O-RAN F2F Fukuoka 

  • Aim for a session on collaborative integration - based on work discussed / demoed at OAI workshop & OSFG workshop

    • @bimo fransiscus asisi @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Sridhar Rao @subhash @Alex Stancu @Martin Skorupski & all 

  • Lots of questions - need to discuss at RSAC tomorrow (Wed) 

    • Unlikely to achieve full demo/functionality in 

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

• No major update this week:

• Still  working on deployment - currently still docker-compose

• Re Winlab / OSC Test lab: See https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DW/pages/16405829

• @subhash: Question - any sign of using Nephio for OAM/O1? 

  • No real agreement, or path to agreement for operator-based RAN OAM in O-RAN Alliance.

  • Maybe stick with o1 interface for now? And continue with proposals for Nephio for DMS/IMS for now?

• JIRA:

  • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/OAM-429

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

• Working away on integration & Hybrid O-RU (working on demos with OAI & Benetel RU)

• https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/sim/o1-ofhmp-interfaces,general

AI/ML platform project (@subhash)

• Working on dynamic pipeline / platform

• Integration & ES usecase

• Fixed issue with Modelstore reporting 200 when model storage fails (see last week).

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) & @Saul Gill to retest

• R1-AP spec is making progress on model deployment.

  • In next release would like to work with @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) for rApps

  • Who is the interface consumer? rApp, or rApp Manager? Need to work on the usecase.

    • Would the rApp (instance) be able to store it's own packaged model, or alternatively/also ask training service to make model available for modelstore deployment.

    • Currently (needs work)  -rApp has a packaged static model, and an inference service is created with (& has same lifecycle) as the rApp instance. Managed by rAppManager. Need to consider more flexible/useful use cases.

  • Also, in O-RAN use cases, the rApp could be a consumer of training service?
