LF Anti-trust

  • We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Welcome 1st Time Attendees

Welcome all. new attendees. If you have any questions about participating in this community, please contact Louis Illuzzi (lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org).

5G Super Blueprint Overview and Getting Started


Project Updates:

SEDIMENT+KubeArmor

    • Initial PoC:
    • Kaloom lab- VMs built - Risk
      • Do we have a risk? What is the mitigation?
    • Potential Hex Five sub project - Cesare/Rajesh
      • Investigative meeting took place between Peraton and Hex Five (Cesare).
      • Next Step- Hex Five to come back with a proposal
    • Next Steps:
      • Rajesh- Set back. Need to revaluate camera wrt memory
        • Options
          • Shift to a weather sensor instead of camera
      • Aarno Labs has implemented SEDIMENT for a government funded project
        • Can they provide a demo or overview to the community? This is a government funded project, and is looking into what can be shared with this community
      • Looking to create an easy to use guidebook (Raj)
        • Would have to go through DARPA Public Release process
        • Aarno Labs- an MIT spin-off. Provides security for (currently) Java script. Whereas KubeArmor protects at the container level, Aarno protects at the Java script program level. SEDIMENT offers them an alternative where they may not be deploying on SGX (Software Guard Extensions). Contact Eric and Jeff Perkins also on SEDIMENT project. Raj to make introduction. Presented on Sept PI meeting.
      • Identify and develop a security Use Case


SABRES: Slice Selection, Path Validation, Multiparty Management

    • Three use cases will have separate services associated
    • What orchestrator will/can be used?
      • potential to duplicate Simplified E2E Network Slicing (Aarna) using EMCO
        • Aarna confirms all Simplified network slicing solution will be open source and NDA will not be required.
        • License - Apache 2
      • potential to leverage Wavelabs slicing using EMCO
    • ICCCN paper: ICCCN_2023_paper_187.pdf
    • Code repository (https://pulwar.isi.edu/sabres/cbs/cbs) that was used during the last government demonstration.  This is the initial code base (src directory), which will not be the final product (as this version only works on 2-3 variables, rather than arbitrary).  This code was used to replace ETSI's OSM's PLA module (using minizinc constraint solver) with CBS [https://osm.etsi.org/gitlab/osm/pla].
    • Lincoln tried setting up EMCO using documentation and it failed to come up.
    • SD-Core setup at ICI
    • Next Steps:
      • Open question on open sourcing SABREs (university policy) - still open - Risk
      • Replicate Simplified Slicing demo locally in ISI lab (Lincoln)
      • Debug the environment (Lincoln)
      • Setup SD-Core at ICI (demonstrate slicing using SD-Core)
        • rewriting parts of the UPF to integrate SABREs code
      • Set up a drop-in replacement for the current slicing algorithm with CBS algorithm (Lincoln)
      • Leverage UNH and Kaloom. Ganesh and Lincoln?


ONAP SMO

    • Scope-
      • use ONAP SMO to exercise gNodeB. Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface)
      • Showcase orchestration
      • Connect gNodeB
        • Mitigation- UNH can host core but has no resources to implement; Yogen can implement
      • Potential reference point/tie-in with ORAN-SC
    • Requirements/Goals
      • Demonstate connectivity and orchestration
      • exercise Amarisoft gNodeB (UNH)
      • Stretch goal- tie-in with ORAN-SC
      • Stretch goal - Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface). OAI not ready with O1 interface
    •  Resources-
      • Aarna Networks
      • UNH - gNodeB. Note; gNodeB is T&M gear and will need to be shared among projects.
      • Kaloom - Core- Risk
        • UNH has space for a core but no people resources. Potential for a 5G SBP  resource to help. 
          • Mitigation- Yogen can implement the core at UNH
    • Next Steps-
      • Bring up OAI core and orchestrator with Amarisoft gNodeB - UNH lab
        • Create Ansible template / tasks that would deal with the gNodeB - Lincoln/Yogen
        • Bring uo OAI core at UNH using the orchestrator
      • LaaS booking, extend the booking to last longer than 21 days - ping lincoln by email.


Simplified E2E Network Slicing (Aarna)


Edge Site Selection and Placement (Equinix) - On hold

    • From June D&TF - Call to action: What is current state of edge site selection and where does it need to evolve (future state)?
    • Tie-in with simplified slicing (Aarna)
    • Edge definition talk from the LF? Twitter? LF Edge Taxonomy. https://hubs.la/Q01RnPZh0
    • Next Steps
      • Proposal to pause, and focus on E2E slicing
      • Slice selection within edge placement - Yogen


5G Super Blueprint Library -

  • Page opened for viewing- send comments to lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org
  • Proposal to add a column for higher level network function associated with each entry, example; slicing, security, UPF integration, IoT (visual inspection), etc.
  • Marketing Plan
      • The goal is that each completed project get the same marketing treatment (i.e. Marketing Plan execution) where the technology is highligthed and the participants and contributing companies are recognized.


Events
