Ankit Barve  

O-DU high documentation is done

wiki page cannot be updated; David Kinsey [AT&T] has been notified on this issue.

CU image does not support O1. If O1 is needed, BM is the only option

We would like to cloud native approach. To test E2E, better to use containerized image. Release is at the end of this month. 

bimo fransiscus asisi Open RAN summit at Taipei. Topics: Open Ran and 6G; Open RAN and open source; Speed up the SMO decoupled project. Use OSC Taiwan as the implementation testbed; Energy savings use cases have been demonstrated; Viavi RIC tester. 

Need to wrap near-RT RIC and non-RT RIC and SMO on top of O-Cloud for OSC Taiwan lab

peng Lu Intel is waiting for Prof Rathi's code base changes on xFAPI related to Flex RAN ODU low; Legal clearance has been obtained; Still waiting for detailed information on how to access the code;

OSC Taiwan lab can potentially obtain the code (binary) from Netweb;

Peng Lu (Intel) 
- Update from 3rd party company, Netweb
- Works with Prof. Rathi integrating latest code base xFAPI
- Sindhu from Intel to obtain license for O-DULOW FlexRAN from Netweb
- Netweb got authorization from Intel
- No info from Netweb yet
- Can Intel authorize NTUST directly?
- Due to legal issues, pls obtain license from Netweb

NTUST labs (Bimo, Prof. Ray)
- Prepare for Open RAN summit after F2F in Taipei demo

Ankit 
- Prepare for release doc and final changes
- Try to complete in 2 weeks time
- O-CU support O1 and E2 i/f?
- Docs are available from Radisys website
- Bimo looking for support of E2 and O1
- Not written in tech doc; is it possible to get support from Radisys?
- Ankit will check and get back to Prof. Ray

Prof. Rathi 
- xFAPI P5 is working 
- P7 msg are being tested. errors ar ebeing resolved
- will be able to connect OAI with ODU high soon after P7 success
- Can you upload some src code if possible? Request from NTUST
- How to modify ODU - high?
- No need to change ODU-high since WLS is supported
- Planning to release doc soon

TOC mtg 
- mentioned about add detail on FAPI for WG8 
- standardize shared memory architecture
- David K is coordinating a session in the F2F?



 

Still waiting for final legal clearance from Intel. Technical issues have been resolved, currently it is more of a business issue/process to finalize the legal clearance.

Also waiting for access from Prof. Rathi pending presentation at the TOC which was cancelled last week. Expect that to occur this week.

In the architecture presented last week the WLS code is part of the ODULOW project and is used by ODUHIGH. Since the xFAPI is below the WLS layer it should be part of ODULOW even though it provides implementation access to current ODULOW base or the OAI L1 or potentially other L1 implementations.

Plan to request a WG8 session with OSC/O-RAN members to discuss Interoperability testing of different L1 implementations using the FAPI interface, which may include the transport protocols (WLS) interfaces.




 

@ankit
OAI development for P5 messages for FAPI
requested Prof. Rathi to share xFAPI code to O-DU high team

Prof. Rathi provided an overview of xFAPI;  had discussions with Intel on how to release xFAPI code to OSC
one more week before sharing code
created a blueprint on how to use xFAPI for integration
xFAPI is already on K8s cloud native architecture
milestone: try to release xFAPI end of month

discussions with WG8 starting to introduce xFAPI to O-RAN

@bimo requested
license extension from Radisys for CU to share with NTUST 
Ankit to check with Ganesh and get back to Bimo

@johnkeeney
NONRTRIC - trying to tidy up svc mgr for release timeline

@martin
OAM - implemented and tested published YANG model from Nov train and looking into March train

Updates from One summit

Ankit Barve Requesting Prof. Rathi's  xFAPI code base to be uploaded to OSC repo

peng Lu Intel still having conversations re Flex ran version for OSC going forward (deprecate old version and move to a new version

Ray-Guang Cheng Requesting Intel to provide resources to support the O-DU low / O-DU high integration work and also with xFAPI integration in NTUST OSC lab. peng Lu  is looking to support this work in NTUST lab.   


https://zoom.us/rec/share/Viv0NmRnBMYsddtC4zXkxIz1QvhA1j34CopIut35xAoqE8U3Be1ottJH36O4A9V0.06DhCzACIMneKnJn

 

Need plan from ODULOW (peng Lu ) on how the FAPI update from the x-FAPI (Prof Vipin) will be incorporated so we can establish some timeline expectations.

lab status of NTUST
1. @ankit @ganesh the current O-CU binary is DPDK based, and we need a socket-based. The socket-based release needs to be tested then it will be released and the license will be provided at the same time. Ankit Barve is assisting.



 

lab status of NTUST
1. @ankit @ganesh pls provide license extension of Radisys CU to NTUST
2. raise this issue in the TOC re license renewal
3. ODU high and low integration contact Prof. Vipin Rathi
4. OAI and ODU high status - what is the status?
5. NTUST - odu high and low integration decided to postpone
    mtg with Prof. Rathi, he made some changes to flex ran code 22.07 version
    Intel (@Penglu) is going to evaluate this code, in the mean time two options
    - continue to support the old release
    - wait to use Prof Vipin's codebase for the new version
NTUST may also need some NDA
5. near-RT RIC 
    - found some issue of I rel deployment
    - CI/CD pairwise testing issue needs to be addressed (@JamesLi)
    - E2SM CCC code base is not updated or missing
    - G rel K8s v1.22 - already deprecated, need to move to v1.28
    - Needs to update the helm chart
    - @Bimo to send email to PTL of near-RT RIC



 

ODULOW has discussed progress with Prof. Vipin Rathi. It seems that there are some changes to the FlexRAN code. ODULOW believes there is some ability to use his FAPI changes into the ODULOW base and they will be collaborating with Prof Rathi to incorporate those. We then should be able to move away from the Release "F" baseline we have been using.

OSC Taiwan Lab still waiting on Radisys to renew the OCU License so that we can continue to use the binaries in the end-to-end service path.





 

Integration: Ankit Barvearranging call to test with Intel
OAI testing call is in progress 
Almost done with O-DU high release development features

Ashwini (Intel) - repetitive messages observed on Uplane UL
Daniel from Viavi has proposed a testing call today

Prof. Ray (NTUST) has linked Prof. Vipin Rathi from Delhi university
They have successfully integrated 23.07 version flexran with OSC DU-high, connected to commercial RU
plans to move 23.11 version
any more info on FAPI interface? Did they write their own FAPI? Ashwini is sending an email to Prof. Rathi for clarifications



 

Update on TUWU fransiscus bimo problem in ODULOW but there is also a problem in RUSIM. Working on closing the RUSIM while the resource is available. Then need to work on OSC ODULOW.

ODULOW is working on a plan on how to upgrade to a newer release. Intel is working this. It is hard to get developers/students to sign up for work on an outdated version.

ODULOW peng Lu will look into being able to match the Viavi configuration for OAI ODULOW. This will allow easier transitions from one implementation to another.

  1. bimo fransiscus asisi OSC O-DU Integration
    1. O-DU Integration still in progress. Currently waiting Intel to fix bug on FlexRAN.
    2. Suggested to confirm to peng Lu  for possibility of releasing newer flexRAN version for the integration. Reason:
      1. Speed up the integration (skip the bug).
      2. New FlexRAN requires different OS. Different env can  cause different issue. Double effort for future integration.
      3. Fixing the bug might not be beneficial because it's an outdated version.

      4. Resources availability cannot be fixed.

AIML ES Data set available (TIM), Viavi data is semi-private, password protect the file. A procedure needs to be in place for users to request access. Who approves this but it should be a “written” response to provide access traceability. Another option is to have the data in the labs but not in a repo/nexus. Access to the lab would provide access to the data. We need to bring to TOC to ask Viavi what procedure we should use.
Update on ODUHIGH, ODUHIGH now working again with ODULOW, tomorrow working ODUHIGH+ODULOW+TM500.
SIM
•    Simulators to align with latest YANG models. No feature requests.

TIM data set representing the “Internet” usage from the network, for 2 months (Nov and Dec 2013, timestamps every 10 minutes) in our nexus: https://nexus3.o-ran-sc.org/#browse/browse:datasets

The data is parsed, meaning we pruned the voice and SMS usage, keeping only the Internet traffic. The values themselves for the usage are normalised to a value known only to TIM (assuring some anonymisation).

  • ES data sets,Ultan.Kelly to provide recreated synthetic data set for ES; mtg with bimo fransiscus asisi to discuss the details week of Sept 28th
  • NYCU deployed ArgoCD for a SMO CI/CD environment
  • briefly summarized their work on the O-Cloud, SMO, and OSC Component deployment as follows for your reference:
    1. O-Cloud (Kubernetes): 
    Have built a multi-node O-Cloud on bare-metal and virtual machines, with and without leveraging StarlingX.
    2. OSC ONAP-based SMO (OSC IT/DEP Project): 
    Have also deployed OSC ONAP-based SMO on top of the multi-node O-Cloud, again with and without StarlingX.
    3. O-RAN Deployment Container: 
    To facilitate and speed up the deployment of ONAP-based SMO, we made a portable container image that contains necessity scripts, ansible books, and prebuilt Helm charts for ONAP-based SMO deployment.
    4. CD for ONAP-based SMO deployment: 
    Currently working on Argo CD GitOps for ONAP-based SMO deployment.

     
    • 1. O-Cloud: per your demo at the RSAC meeting a few weeks back, it’s a manual process to provision/install a multi-node O-Cloud. Is there a way to automate the process for a single-node or multi-node O-Cloud?
        • What is the target environment?
          • VM or physical servers
          • With/without Starlingx (more hard to automate)
        • Should we recreate an O-Cloud for each integration test?
      • 2. Per my understanding, the deployment from the it/dep repository of the SMO will just include the OSC non-RT RIC, but without the OSC OAM components
        • OSC OAM wiki also refers to it/dep repository for Kubernetes deployment.
    • 3. Do you have any plan to commit the code as part of the “O-RAN Deployment Container” to OSC to facilitate and speed up the deployment of SMO as suggested? What is it different from the current deployment mechanism as part of the it/dep repo?
        • The “O-RAN Deployment Container” is a walkaround solution to reduce helm chart building time.
        • The better one is that OSC hosts its helm chart repository on OSC Nexus.
    • 4. What’s the granularity of your existing CD for ONAP-based SMO deployment?
        • We use Argo CD to deploy it/dep ONAP-based SMO with helm charts on Kubernetes.
        • The ONAP helm chart is too large for the helm, so ONAP provides a script to solve this problem.
        • It is not straightforward to integrate Argo CD and this script to deploy ONAP components (OAM), we will present the details in the RSAC meeting
    • 5. It’s desired to set up an O-Cloud and then SMO on top of it as the CI/CD base for further OSC components onboarding. Do you happen to see that your existing work can serve this purpose for OSC?
      • CI: Should we rebuild the O-Cloud and the SMO for each integration test
      • CD: May use the Argo CD GitOps

Energy Savings

  • ONF - Proceeding with Proposal #2
    • Shankar needs to understand what the data set is for E2E flow.
    • Need UL and DL throughput and ingress and egress from a cell
    • with an overlapping cell coverage area.
    • Basic algorithm is predicting when to turn cells off and on so as not to cause too few resources to handle the capacity while saving energy when capacity is not needed.
    • Switching Cell On/Off
      • Doesn't actually turn off or on, but puts the cell to sleep and then "wakes" it up.
    • When RU is put to sleep the corresponding DU infrastructure can utilize p-state and c-state policies to limit the power usage of the DU.
    • RICAPP nor NON-RT RIC have resources identified to create rApp. We might look to AIML to see if they have resources available.
    • TUWU may also contribute to AIML algorithm which should be able to be done separate from the rApp implementation.
    • Can look at Publicly available TIM dataset for current values and initial approach analysis.
    • https://github.com/arunasubbiah/milan-telecom-data-modeling
  • OAI Has infrastructure with ARM technology
    • We can use ARM if it is built as an O-Cloud then the SMO should be able to deploy to it.
    • INF project needs to assess viability


 

Energy Savings

  • ONF - Proposal #1 use Viavi to synthesize the data
    • Requires OSC $ which are not available
  • ONF - Proposal #2 use RANSIM and synthesize the data
    • How can we generate
    • Alex Stancu Will look at available TIM Snapshot data sets to find if there is one. Rittwik Jana We just need UL and DL throughput data per cell.
    • Martin Skorupski 3GPP data Cells have sectors. Is our data One sector, One Frequency, per cell. Or should we plan ahead for Frequency management. Rittwik Jana Each "Site" has two frequencies. 5 sectors, 1 coverage, 4 capacity which can be turned down when capacity is not required.
    • Prof Ray
      • They are looking at using Viavi RICTest to generate some data. They may have a topology that can be used. Will report back next week.

Japan F2F OSC Demo Preparati

 

Japan F2F OSC demo preparation

Demo Suggestions from O-RAN Office (Zbynek):

For demos in Osaka (in case of pre-recorded videos) I would like to share a few suggestions aiming to improve the delivery of messages to the audience:

    • Make the videos rather short (2-3’) – attendees to F2F meetings may not want to spend long time in front of a screen, as the F2F agenda is very busy
    • If possible, include schemes/charts to visualize the demo scope in an easy way
    • Make the video in high quality to look good at a large screen from close look
    • Display each demo title clearly during the whole video (someone who comes in the middle of a demo could still understand what it is)
    • If possible, provide captions for the voiceover (or at least a word document with the voiceover text for postprocessing) – the sound of the screens may not be possible to be too loud and reading subtitles could help understanding

Would any postprocessing be required from O-RAN Office side, for the Osaka demo videos?

Note: For the demos that were shown in Madrid (Oct 2022), O-RAN office arranged adding demo titles to the screen and some further postprocessing to allow playing the videos in a loop. In case any assistance needed for Osaka demos, we would need the videos in advance – the postprocessing takes some days…

General note: If I recall the way OSC demos were presented in Madrid, Oct 2022, in my opinion – frankly – the content of the demos wasn’t easily digestible in the way it was presented. The videos were long (10+ minutes), rather poor quality, sound was hard to understand (and couldn’t be played loud to avoid disturbing the networking space). As O-RAN office could observe, not that many people looked at them. Hence the above suggestions to improve the presentation and delivery of desired messages.

Demos:

    Demo #1 - NTUST: Slice-enabled xApp control ODU Scheduler fransiscus bimo  

    Demo #2 -  NTUST - RIC Test with KPI-Mon

     Demo #3 - RIC E2 Reset

Japan Session Planning

     WG2, WG3, WG6, WG1 = 1 hour session

           Co-Chair or Work Item Rapporteur if associated with a work-item

     3 Questions from each PTL that would help the project. Questions should be targeted for a specific WG or WI team to answer.

Explain what and how K8s operator works.

Use of a K8s operator in the automation through Gitops.

Slide 20, depicts the different ways of integrating the operator with other open source solutions, this is NOT to promote using all of them together, but to show how and what part of the solution is being tackled by each of them and a possible way to re-use the O-cloud operator across them.

Blockers for Release "G"

Tacker (SMO) - Ready

AI/ML - Ready

O-DUHIGH - Move blockers to "H" Backlog

Some Cleanup is needed, this will drop the Lines of Code this will be done during the maintenance release. This will not result in any functional change.

"H" Activities

OSC - OAI Integration

Possible Options: End-to-End using OSC RAN and OAI Mobile Core can be incremental in where the workloads execute. Target would be to use O-Cloud?  Goal: End-to-End 5G Open Source Network

Possible Options: OSC SMO Integration with OAI Elements Goal: Would standard manageability

Possible Options: RIC-RICAPP Portability OSC RIC with OAI RICAPPs, and vice-verse Goal: xApp Portability

Step 1: What would it take for SMO to deploy in a (OSC or OAI) lab a OAI CN element. Goal: Explore the gap between OAI NF and OSC Infrastructure/SMO.

OSC - ONF Integration

Possible Options: RIC-RICAPP Portability OSC RIC with OAI RICAPPs, and vice-verse Goal: xApp Portability

Tacker "G" Update

Supporting 02DMS-ETSI looks like part of Cloud

Can be configured with K8s API which would be like a consumer of the O2DMS-K8s and therefore deployed as part of the SMO

For "H" we need new SMO functions for Homing, Inventory, and NFO. These can be minimal in which ASD support by Tacker would consume the O2DMS.

Need to work out how Tacker for ETSI as a O2DMS-ETSI is registered with SMO, vs Tacker as a NFO extension, uses the O2DMS-ETSI. Could NFO then just use the passed Tacker instance as its orchestration end point?

AI/ML Deployment Options

  • Separate Project
    • It has integration touch points with several projects
    • inside one may cause neglecting others (NonRTRIC, RICAPP, RICPLT)
    • Clear boundaries need to be defined to ensure non-overlapping scope.
    • Propose separate project - Avinash will work project description containing details articulated by John-Paul and Thoralf:
      • John-Paul Lane: If we decide the AI/ML proposal should be in its own dedicated project, we need a project proposal which TOC can review and vote on. As John Keeney (Ericsson EST) has pointed out, understanding scope of the project, its ambition and how it interacts with other projects is key input to the proposal.
      • Thoralf Czichy : in Order to define the scope in more detail…
        • (1) discuss data architecture (data flows)
        • (2) overlap in model manegement and r/xApp LCM
        • (3) define interfaces with existing projects
        • (4) define an example set of r/xApps that are being developed in parallel as a proof of concept
      • From John-Paul Lane: Some pointers to creating a new project proposal are included here Seed Code Contribution/ New Project Proposal Process (DRAFT) Also, it is interesting that there is an attempt to define when a new project can / should be created. There are examples of new project proposals which have been presented to TOC previously. Maybe @Mahesh could share the SMO proposal? Or if there are others they could be shared too.
  • If inside existing which one
    • No Good fit
    • Would require a clear integration vision

Release "G" Feature Planning

  • RICPLT - Deferred to post project meeting
  • SMO
    • Integration with ODU for PM Reporting
    • TACKER to deploy CNF or VNF to be selected later

6/15/22

Reviewed proposal for new AI/ML Framework project

  • Slides will be posted when available
  • Scope noted as large, suggestion from other PTL was to commit to a focus initially and expand over time
  • Some LCM may overlap with Non-RT RIC rAPP LCM this needs to be refined such that a clear demarcation exists between the two projects
  • With four projects for the overall SMO one project will need to be responsible for ensuring they can all be assembled into an O-RAN SMO. Suggestion was for the SMO project to be this point but the PTL was unable to make the meeting.

6/7/22James Li

6/1/22
  1. ORU-ODU pairwise testing progress (10 minutes)
    1. ODU Synch still the same skipping clock. 
    2. Action Item: David will get with Rich to verify if 190 is connected to the O-RU or 191?
  2. OCU deployment on O-Cloud progress (5 minutes)
    1. Binaries have been released from Radysis.
    2. Action Item: David will get with Bin (INF) to verify IP and availability of AIO-SX.
    3. Action Item: Ankit will FTP to lab and work with Bin (INF) to deploy onto AIO-SX,
  3. Release G Planning and O-RAN F2F Synch (45 minutes)
    1. Only the ODUHIGH and INT PTLs were present. Planning was not able to occur.
      1. ODUHIGH "F" Features were held up by lack of O-RU availability, therefore "F" Features are backlogged into "G".
      2. INT "F" Features were held up by OTF no longer maintained and thus non-viable. Therefore "F" Features are backlogged and will have to be replanned into "G". PTL is working with LF to find out how their CI/CD Toolchain might be used. Will require participation by each PTL in "G".
    2. Action Item: David to bring up to TOC that RSAC is only effective if PTLs participate.
        • DUPLEX+
  4. Walk Ons:
    1. Samsung proposal for AI/ML Framework project. John Keeney had to drop and Mahesh was not in attendance. We need those projects and preferable OAM and INT as well to understand how the SMO is assembled from the potential 4 projects.
      1. Action Item: Samsung will start an e-mail thread and hope we will have a quorum to discuss either on the SMO+RSAC or the next RSAC+SMO calls.
    2. Tacker development team still needs lab access for SMO project
      1. Action Item: David to reach out to Rich to make sure the request didn't get missed.


5/18/22

IXR Should be ready by 5/20/22. We found a bad optic cable and are replacing it.

OTF is permanently down, we are soliciting ideas from PTLs for new test automation tooling or ideas.

INT needs each PTL to create a "Healthcheck" type of test/script in which the project can be deployed and verified as "healthy". INT will then look for interoperability across projects. This will require participation from the individual projects and is not something INT can do entirely on its own.

We identified while working towards the OTF workshop that projects sometimes assume things still work, when in fact they don't. This verifies the need for automated testing.

O-DU HIGH needs O-DU LOW to install/verify the latest build in installed in the OSC lab. David and Rittwik will reach out to ODULOW to ensure there are not any blockers.



5/10/22

OTF workshop postponed to next week. 

Here is the progress in Taiwan OSC Lab (Prof. Ray):

- New results

  1. Modified OAI CU 

     * Topology: PHY-Stub <--> OSC O-DU-High <--> OAI CU: RRC  Connection Setup is done.

 2. Tested the S-Plane in Chunghwa Telecom (CHT)

     * Topology: GM <--> O-DU <--> TM500 RU Simulator


- New partner: Auray will also provide their TM500 to support the OSC testing. Auray is also running OTIC Lab. in Taiwan 


- On-going jobs

  1. Joint survey paper
  2. Auray will make a trip to US. They hope to visit OSC Community NJ Lab. Please check any available slots if possible.


- On-going jobs in Taiwan lab and need support from Radisys

  1. Testing Intel FlexRAN 21.03 version of O-DU Low

Ankit: This activity has not been planned in F release and will be taken in account during next Release planning phase (G release)

2. We added an E2 Handler in O-DU High and connect it to RIC: Ankit, please reply with an email showing your plan.

Ankit: As of now we are reaching towards end of the F release and do not have bandwidth to accommodate these changes with review.

Slicing Use Case

  • Will have 2 rRMPolicyMemberList (MCC MNC SD SST)
    • 1 Best Effort, Slice 1 Managed Slice
    • MCC/MNC (aka PLMN) should be same as known by Core
  • Will use rRMPolicyDedicatedRatio for Managed slice
  • PM is Average DL/UL UE Thoughtput
    • Collection Interval same as Reporting Interval
    • Reporting Interval will be every 60s
    • One counter for each (UL/DL) (Uint32, kbits/sec)
      • DRB.UEThpDI.SNSSAI
      • DRB.UEThpUI.SNSSAI
    • SLA for the Managed slice is a throughput of 1Mb/s
    • Initial Managed slice has PRBs with a 40% reserved/quota
    • The rAPP should have a configuration value for enabling and disabling the control loop to allow the test controller to identify when the SUT has a stable traffic load.
    • When throughput drops below the 1MB/s SLA by 10% (900Kb/s) then the rAPP increases the reserved/quota by 10%
    • When throughput goes above the SLA of 1MB/S by 10% (1.1MB/s)  then the rAPP decreases the reserved/quota by 10%; this cannot go below the baseline slice reservation (40%)

  • Alignment of DMaaP Topics across projects
  • Confirmed proposed YANG for O-DU is being analyzed by the O-DU team, should have an answer by next weeks call.
  • Confirmed Config was sent to O-RU team, ODU Team needs to know how to initiate pairwise testing
  • Reaching out to contributors for E2SIM modifications for Traffic Steering Use case
  • David Kinsey [AT&T]will Reach out to OTF team for OTF E2SIM integration at the same time
  • David Kinsey [AT&T] will work with Former user (Deleted) to work with Taiwan University to see how best to use them for Integration Project. They likely will not have a FHG in their environment and therefore are missing O-DU functionality for Hybrid or Hierarchical support models to the O-RU.
  • SMO discussion was deferred as Mahesh had another meeting commitment. Nothing major pending.
