    1. RIC Thoralf Czichy
      1. Status report (H Release#Near-Real-timeRANIntelligentControllerPlatform(E2Interface)(RICPLT))
        Original primary goals based on contributions from Nokia, Samsung, HCL, Capgemini, Parallel Wireless, Alexandre Huff (UTFPR) and Abhijit G:
        We will deprecate the RMR-based E2 subscription interface and H-release xApps need to use the REST based interface already supported by the the C++, go, and python xApp frameworks (RIC-375). The subscription manager should handle subscriptions for failing xApps (RIC-929) and provide a callback on subscription delete success/failure (RIC-928). We plan to implement the RIC subscription delete required procedure (RIC-851)
        Update to newer golang version of all components (RIC-881)
        We will develop a CRD, i.e., a K8S operator on top of the DMS REST API to simplify xApp deployment (RIC-715). Also the DMS Rest interface gets the missing delete API (RIC-954). RIC-717 allows to deploy multiple cooperating xApps together.
        On E2 side we will implement the E2 Reset procedure from RAN to RIC (RIC-949) and the RIC Subscription Delete procedure (RIC-851). We also implement robustness improvements (RIC-932 for reconnect cases) and troubleshooting improvements (RIC-813, RIC-814).
        There's work planned to deploy the kserve-based model provisioning from the AI/ML project into the RIC platform (RIC-955)
        The xapp frameworks for Golang (RIC-930), C++ and Rust (RIC-951) will get some enhancements that are already implemented in the other languages, incl. support for xApp registration in the xapp-framework-cpp (RIC-705).
        E2T (RIC-813) and E2Mgr (RIC-814) support dynamic changing of log levels for better troubleshooting
        RIC-953 A1 testing improvements and bug fixes
        Added to plan during H:
        Support for policy status notifications in A1 (RIC-973 (incl. RIC-975)
        Faster timeout in SCTP heartbeats (E2) (RIC-976)
        Link to planned Jira work items: all teams
        Achieved H release highlights = high-level release notes (TODO-date) below (note that the release image list is here: TODO-link)
        E2 reset (from E2 node to RIC), E2 subscription delete required, A1 policy status notfications
        Preparation of feature for I release, e.g., include xApps in subscription delete required decision
        For the H release of the near-RT RIC we do only limited integration testing: only the use cases: deploy RIC, deploy xApp, make E2 connection, get list of A1 policies has been tested.
        Filled in end-of-release checklist: TODO-link
        Status 2023-05-11: From the 22 epics planned (link) we implemented 4 (link). 6 items have been moved out of the H release, e.g, because of implementation delays (link). Incomplete items: 12 (link). Additionally we fixed 8 bugs and small implementation tasks (link)

  1. 1. 1. Jakub had a session with Jindrich on what is needed. Next step is with Jindrich. Jakub also had a discussion with WG3's Claudio.
      2. Jakub commented that we once this becomes clear, we should talk with other WG. WG3 needs are pretty clear.
      3. 2023-04-20: no update but Jakub Novy [DTAG] will keep on monitoring.
    2. 2023-03-23, 2023-03-30: no update, O-RAN office is looking for suitable solution. Jakub waiting for Jindrich.
    3. 2023-04-13: no update. Still waiting for Office to feed back.
    4. 2023-04-20: huangjinri@chinamobile.com explained to the O-RAN office. Had conversations with Sridhar, and seems like the SCCL CLA was not that complicated. Recommend to close the AP and re-open it in case there's any issue in the future.
    5. 2023-04-27: Jakub Novy [DTAG] still following up on the solution. It's worth mentioning that OSFG should be informed about this activity because this seems to benefit to their agenda.
O-RAN-related business (marketing, WG interaction, TSC/EC update etc.)

It ran out of time before we actually did the demo.It might occur at the next Wednesday's SMO/RSAC meeting.
3. Others
  1. (2023-04-06) TSC this week cancelled; OSC report will be in 6 weeks;
  2. 2023-04-27: David Kinsey [AT&T] next O-RAN F2F is 6/29-6/23 in Osaka, Japan. We need to have more conversations with the WGs by having some joint sessions with them. Now the topics are beginning to merge onto different team pages and we can plan ahead with WGs to make sure we have a slot with them. It's about 7 weeks before the F2F and let's have a talk on this at the next RSAC.
Old business and Status of Open Actions
1. OSC Lab
2. Collaboration with OAI
  1. 2023-03-09: AP (from 2023-03-09) David Kinsey [AT&T]OSC and OAI lab connection. The overall goal is to have some result of such a cooperation that can be presented at next O-RAN f-2-f.
    1. James also interested in this. David seems to want the connection to be able to deploy from OSC SMO to OAI cloud. Also still discussion on OAI licensing and lab usage.
    2. 2023-04-20: David Kinsey [AT&T] no update. Talked to Rich on this and there shouldn't be any problem setting up the connection.
    3. 2023-04-27: David Kinsey [AT&T] heard that Tracy and others are thinking of using OTIC lab to use our released software to interconnect with OAI. Need to hear from OSFG on the final decision before moving forward.
3. 5G Super Blueprint status - to be considered for H release.
  1. 2023-03-02: David Kinsey [AT&T]Talked with OAI. First step is to connect labs so as to be able to connect elements in different locations. Idea is that this becomes a continuous test environment (CT).

    3. 2023-04-27: resource shortage due to some role and responsibility change. Keep on working in the upstream StarlingX project but at the PoC level now. Also consider to support the cross compiling but it's more difficult for us. We have a long term plan with ARM and may implement the product level support of ARM architecture in the 2nd half of this year, and for OSC this may be integrated in the next release. Also contributed the O2 compliance test automation to the INT project. Asked whether there are any ARM servers in OSC. David Kinsey [AT&T] can talk about that on the RSAC agenda.

New Agenda Items (New Business): New Items Submitted (+speaker) & Open Call to TOC For Additional Items
1. (2023-04-06) Jinri Huang, a proposal on OSC release planning and TOC meeting arrangement
  1. See the proposal here
  2. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 1
    1. Suggested Step 4: need internal discussion to identify which aspects of the features should be targeted. Otherwise, a feature may be too large in magnitude to be completed end 2 end;
    2. Suggested Step 5: a readout could be arranged with communication back to working groups to tell them the features that OSC is working on;
    3. feedback mechanism is suggested so that user communities voice could be heard and taken into account in the next phase design; it is agreed yet the detailed mechanism needs to be figured out in the future;
  3. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 2
    1. A comment with suggestion on the feature matrix was made. A feature matrix could be used to indicate the relationship/priority of different pieces of a feature, to indicate the progress (as dashboard). could be in wiki, git or other place.
    2. concern was make that MVP-C features may be too vague to give actionable activities; MVP-C co-chairs need wo work with OSC to decompose the feature to actionable activities; this could be integrated into Step 3 (see the proposal) or Step 4 (see the comment above). Need to work with feature rapporteur.
    3. TIM pointed out that for each feature, there are correspondingly a set of documents/specifications detailing the feature. These could be detailed input for OSC work.
  4. huangjinri@chinamobile.com to integrate the comments and update the proposal (AP: 2023-04-06)
    1. 2023-04-20: huangjinri@chinamobile.com sent a proposal a few hours ago.
    2. 2023-04-27: huangjinri@chinamobile.com sent a updated new TOC meeting arrangement proposal. David Kinsey [AT&T] Next week will start with the new outline. RSAC, INT and INF will provide their reports.
2. (2023-04-13) TOC meeting arrangement discussion:
  1. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : bring new business forward and have only 3-4 projects to present at each meeting with more details and also allow enough time for discussion. My second thought now is that we may even reduce to 2-3 projects to present at each TOC meeting so it may rotate in every 6 weeks.
  2. Avinash Bhat this is a good solution and I support it. I remember there's a comment from David Kinsey [AT&T] to have a fourth group to do it a monthly base.
  3. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : in the original proposal there were 3 groups. No matter how many groups we end up forming, the important thing is that we agree on this framework.
  4. Seshu Kumar Mudiganti : Take a worst case of 10 minutes per project, 4 projects per group take up to 40 minutes; so perhaps we can have 3 projects per group to limit the project related discussion to 30 minutes and also allow time to cover other topics.
  5. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : let me re-group it later on, perhaps with 4 groups
  6. Former user (Deleted): just think out loud here – instead of PTL level grouping, can there be one where it's more overall linkage across all projects? Some projects, like O-DU-low may not have much to speak about due to its low activity. Rather I'd like to have TOC present to all projects like a umbrella thing that go over high level picture so we all worked in the same level direction. The conversation should happen both ways, including the project groups, and TOC taking one slot to provide feedback for all to align better.
  7. huangjinri@chinamobile.com I agree. Perhaps RSAC should be the one to present high level picture, but definitely TOC should be involved. In addition, we may need to figure out a way for PTLs to present their report not purely on a software development perspective, but also to cover the architecture, design, underlying intention, etc. We may not do it all correctly from the beginning but should give it a try.
  8. AP: huangjinri@chinamobile.com to contact MVP-C co-chairs Suzy and Koo to schedule a time to give a high-level introduction on feature packages in TOC.
    - 2023-04-20: huangjinri@chinamobile.com haven't contacted the MVP-C co-chairs yet, wanted to have the Sylva meeting scheduled first.
3. (2023-04-20) TOC meeting arrangement discussion:
  1. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : sent an updated version in email a few hours ago. Per the proposal 1 of the release planning on slide 2, it's still rough but enough for us to take action. Proposed 4 groups. and projects in each group will present in one TOC meeting on progress and discussions.
  2. David Kinsey [AT&T] there're outliers, like the documentation project only reports near the release time.
  3. Alex Stancu it makes sense to have the SIM project together with NONRTRIC and OAM
  4. David Kinsey [AT&T] : suggest to have the infrastructure team to move to group 1 from group 4. In addition, no PTLs are associated with the Keysight/Viavi simulators, and the Radisys commercial CU that we are using in the labs.
  5. Former user (Deleted) : integration team might provide that overview? Essentially it's pulling together external dependencies, things that are down streaming from etc. Also do you want LF or release management to say a few words?
  6. David Kinsey [AT&T] INF, INT and RSAC are close together in one group
  7. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : These 3 may take too much time in 1 TOC meeting. Also O-DU-low may not use much time
  8. David Kinsey [AT&T] : There're 2 aspects on the integration: 1) the XTesting framework and automated testing across all projects; 2) integration around O-DU-high. Also we have 3 labs to report on their progress so it might be good to split up integration into 2 parts, with the 2nd parts on lab reports.
  9. David Kinsey [AT&T] : we need a motion to approve this new format, on the groupings, and what to do if there's a 5th week in a month. huangjinri@chinamobile.com made a motion, and David Kinsey [AT&T] second it. Votes approved.
  10. AP: huangjinri@chinamobile.com will finalize the grouping, and what to do on the 5th week.
  11. Jackie Huang shared on how the O-RAN WG6 O2IMS interface v03.00 spec is aligned in the INF project in the G release.
  12. Yogendra Pal do you have a way to let others find out details if something is partially compliant?
  13. David Kinsey [AT&T] propose to have mandatory and optional fields to assist on the details.
Planning for Next Meeting
Any Other Business (AOB)

Release Votes (checklist) and Approval
Copyright update
1. AP (from 2023-02-23) huangjinri@chinamobile.com : push O-RAN legal to get feedback and get statement from O-RAN legal on how to enforce the SCCP CLA.
  1. Sridhar Rao I have checked with LF legal. SCCP is already created. LF will be hosting the repo, but it's not a legal entity for SCCP and SCCL (similar to SCP and SCL). It's O-RAN legal.
  2. 2023-03-23: David mentioned, for example, scans to be done by O-RAN.
    1. Jinri to check what this was about and if it is already resolved. David suggested that under this AP we also need knowledge on process for the checks that
  3. huangjinri@chinamobile.com To discuss SCCL implementation, a meeting with O-RAN office and some experts is arranged for next week (=last week of February).
  4. 2023-03-30: no update
  5. 2023-04-06: AP update: mail sent to O-RAN office requesting the SCCL CLA enforcement, waiting for the feedback;

2. AP (from 2023-03-16)Jakub Novy [DTAG]: Check on progress that Jindrich is making. We continue working on a way to publish O-RAN code-like segments.
  1. 1. 1. Jakub had a session with Jindrich on what is needed. Next step is with Jindrich. Jakub also had a discussion with WG3's Claudio.
      2. Jakub commented that we once this becomes clear, we should talk with other WG. WG3 needs are pretty clear.
      3. 2023-04-20: no update but Jakub Novy [DTAG] will keep on monitoring.
    2. 2023-03-23, 2023-03-30: no update, O-RAN office is looking for suitable solution. Jakub waiting for Jindrich.

New Agenda Items (New Business): New Items Submitted (+speaker) & Open Call to TOC For Additional Items
1. (2023-04-06) Jinri Huang, a proposal on OSC release planning and TOC meeting arrangement
  1. See the proposal here
  2. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 1
    1. Suggested Step 4: need internal discussion to identify which aspects of the features should be targeted. Otherwise, a feature may be too large in magnitude to be completed end 2 end;
    2. Suggested Step 5: a readout could be arranged with communication back to working groups to tell them the features that OSC is working on;
    3. feedback mechanism is suggested so that user communities voice could be heard and taken into account in the next phase design; it is agreed yet the detailed mechanism needs to be figured out in the future;
  3. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 2
    1. A comment with suggestion on the feature matrix was made. A feature matrix could be used to indicate the relationship/priority of different pieces of a feature, to indicate the progress (as dashboard). could be in wiki, git or other place.
    2. concern was make that MVP-C features may be too vague to give actionable activities; MVP-C co-chairs need wo work with OSC to decompose the feature to actionable activities; this could be integrated into Step 3 (see the proposal) or Step 4 (see the comment above). Need to work with feature rapporteur.
    3. TIM pointed out that for each feature, there are correspondingly a set of documents/specifications detailing the feature. These could be detailed input for OSC work.
  4. huangjinri@chinamobile.com to integrate the comments and update the proposal (AP: 2023-04-06)
    1. 2023-04-20: huangjinri@chinamobile.com sent a proposal a few hours ago.
2. (2023-04-13) TOC meeting arrangement discussion:
  1. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : bring new business forward and have only 3-4 projects to present at each meeting with more details and also allow enough time for discussion. My second thought now is that we may even reduce to 2-3 projects to present at each TOC meeting so it may rotate in every 6 weeks.
  2. Avinash Bhat this is a good solution and I support it. I remember there's a comment from David Kinsey [AT&T] to have a fourth group to do it a monthly base.
  3. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : in the original proposal there were 3 groups. No matter how many groups we end up forming, the important thing is that we agree on this framework.
  4. Seshu Kumar Mudiganti : Take a worst case of 10 minutes per project, 4 projects per group take up to 40 minutes; so perhaps we can have 3 projects per group to limit the project related discussion to 30 minutes and also allow time to cover other topics.
  5. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : let me re-group it later on, perhaps with 4 groups
  6. Former user (Deleted): just think out loud here – instead of PTL level grouping, can there be one where it's more overall linkage across all projects? Some projects, like O-DU-low may not have much to speak about due to its low activity. Rather I'd like to have TOC present to all projects like a umbrella thing that go over high level picture so we all worked in the same level direction. The conversation should happen both ways, including the project groups, and TOC taking one slot to provide feedback for all to align better.
  7. huangjinri@chinamobile.com I agree. Perhaps RSAC should be the one to present high level picture, but definitely TOC should be involved. In addition, we may need to figure out a way for PTLs to present their report not purely on a software development perspective, but also to cover the architecture, design, underlying intention, etc. We may not do it all correctly from the beginning but should give it a try.
  8. AP: huangjinri@chinamobile.com to contact MVP-C co-chairs Suzy and Koo to schedule a time to give a high-level introduction on feature packages in TOC.
    - 2023-04-20: huangjinri@chinamobile.com haven't contacted the MVP-C co-chairs yet, wanted to have the Sylva meeting scheduled first.
3. (2023-04-20) TOC meeting arrangement discussion:
  1. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : sent an updated version in email a few hours ago. Per the proposal 1 of the release planning on slide 2, it's still rough but enough for us to take action. Proposed 4 groups. and projects in each group will present in one TOC meeting on progress and discussions.
  2. David Kinsey [AT&T] there're outliers, like the documentation project only reports near the release time.
  3. Alex Stancu it makes sense to have the SIM project together with NONRTRIC and OAM
  4. David Kinsey [AT&T] : suggest to have the infrastructure team to move to group 1 from group 4. In addition, no PTLs are associated with the Keysight/Viavi simulators, and the Radisys commercial CU that we are using in the labs.
  5. Former user (Deleted) : integration team might provide that overview? Essentially it's pulling together external dependencies, things that are down streaming from etc. Also do you want LF or release management to say a few words?
  6. David Kinsey [AT&T] INF, INT and RSAC are close together in one group
  7. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : These 3 may take too much time in 1 TOC meeting. Also O-DU-low may not use much time
  8. David Kinsey [AT&T] : There're 2 aspects on the integration: 1) the XTesting framework and automated testing across all projects; 2) integration around O-DU-high. Also we have 3 labs to report on their progress so it might be good to split up integration into 2 parts, with the 2nd parts on lab reports.
  9. David Kinsey [AT&T] : we need a motion to approve this new format, on the groupings, and what to do if there's a 5th week in a month. huangjinri@chinamobile.com made a motion, and David Kinsey [AT&T] second it. Votes approved.
  10. AP: huangjinri@chinamobile.com will finalize the grouping, and what to do on the 5th week.
  11. Jackie Huang shared on how the O-RAN WG6 O2IMS interface v03.00 spec is aligned in the INF project in the G release.
  12. Yogendra Pal do you have a way to let others find out details if something is partially compliant?
  13. David Kinsey [AT&T] propose to have mandatory and optional fields to assist on the details.

New Agenda Items (New Business): New Items Submitted (+speaker) & Open Call to TOC For Additional Items
1. (2023-04-06) Jinri Huang, a proposal on OSC release planning and TOC meeting arrangement
  1. See the proposal here
  2. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 1
    1. Suggested Step 4: need internal discussion to identify which aspects of the features should be targeted. Otherwise, a feature may be too large in magnitude to be completed end 2 end;
    2. Suggested Step 5: a readout could be arranged with communication back to working groups to tell them the features that OSC is working on;
    3. feedback mechanism is suggested so that user communities voice could be heard and taken into account in the next phase design; it is agreed yet the detailed mechanism needs to be figured out in the future;
  3. Some discussion points regarding Proposal 2
    1. A comment with suggestion on the feature matrix was made. A feature matrix could be used to indicate the relationship/priority of different pieces of a feature, to indicate the progress (as dashboard). could be in wiki, git or other place.
    2. concern was make that MVP-C features may be too vague to give actionable activities; MVP-C co-chairs need wo work with OSC to decompose the feature to actionable activities; this could be integrated into Step 3 (see the proposal) or Step 4 (see the comment above). Need to work with feature rapporteur.
    3. TIM pointed out that for each feature, there are correspondingly a set of documents/specifications detailing the feature. These could be detailed input for OSC work.
  4. huangjinri@chinamobile.com to integrate the comments and update the proposal (AP: 2023-04-06)
2. (2023-04-13) TOC meeting arrangement discussion:
  1. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : bring new business forward and have only 3-4 projects to present at each meeting with more details and also allow enough time for discussion. My second thought now is that we may even reduce to 2-3 projects to present at each TOC meeting so it may rotate in every 6 weeks.
  2. Avinash Bhat this is a good solution and I support it. I remember there's a comment from David Kinsey [AT&T] to have a fourth group to do it a monthly base.
  3. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : in the original proposal there were 3 groups. No matter how many groups we end up forming, the important thing is that we agree on this framework.
  4. Seshu Kumar Mudiganti : Take a worst case of 10 minutes per project, 4 projects per group take up to 40 minutes; so perhaps we can have 3 projects per group to limit the project related discussion to 30 minutes and also allow time to cover other topics.
  5. huangjinri@chinamobile.com : let me re-group it later on, perhaps with 4 groups
  6. Former user (Deleted): just think out loud here – instead of PTL level grouping, can there be one where it's more overall linkage across all projects? Some projects, like O-DU-low may not have much to speak about due to its low activity. Rather I'd like to have TOC present to all projects like a umbrella thing that go over high level picture so we all worked in the same level direction. The conversation should happen both ways, including the project groups, and TOC taking one slot to provide feedback for all to align better.
  7. huangjinri@chinamobile.com I agree. Perhaps RSAC should be the one to present high level picture, but definitely TOC should be involved. In addition, we may need to figure out a way for PTLs to present their report not purely on a software development perspective, but also to cover the architecture, design, underlying intention, etc. We may not do it all correctly from the beginning but should give it a try.
  8. AP: huangjinri@chinamobile.com to contact MVP-C co-chairs Suzy and Koo to schedule a time to give a high-level introduction on feature packages in TOC.

  1. Sridhar Rao I have checked with LF legal. SCCP is already created. LF will be hosting the repo, but it's not a legal entity for SCCP and SCCL (similar to SCP and SCL). It's O-RAN legal.
  2. 2023-03-23: David mentioned, for example, scans to be done by O-RAN.
    1. Jinri to check what this was about and if it is already resolved. David suggested that under this AP we also need knowledge on process for the checks that
