- This virtual event is intended to be centered on cross-community collaboration topics, rather than project centric. At this time LFN is measuring interest in such an event.
Architecture
- ONAP/EMCO leadership meeting readout (AI from 01/25)
- US Navy Use Cases:
In a centralized site, they want to use ONAP for the 5G SBP
For remote/smaller sites with limited IT staff, they want something lighter. So they want to go with EMCO.
There is also the issue that remote sites may not always have good connectivity. So in that case, ONAP will be the global orchestrator in a central site. EMCO will be the edge domain orchestrator. When connectivity is there, ONAP can manage EMCO as a southbound controller.
- Next Steps: architecture diagrams, and end to end flows. ONAP + EMCO + Magma meeting then include Anuket.
- US Navy use cases above as well as demonstrations from DTF lead to potential 5G Orchestration Blueprints:
- Magma with ONAP CNF Orchestrator
- Magma with EMCO
- Magma with ONAP (global orchestrator in a central site) and EMCO (edge domain). Roadmap item. Navy Resources?
- Need RAN vendor - community input. Qualitifcations? Criteria? Help grow ORAN. Explore vendor(s) in ORAN community. Bob M. can help.
- Catherine contacts: Tracy Van Brackle - tv8394@att.com; very active in Plugfest; martin.skorupski - martin.skorupski@highstreet-technologies.com -- very active O-RAN/ONAP Alignment
- GenXcomm is an option
- ONAP Honolulu vs Istanbul. Current testing with Honolulu. Continue with Honolulu, then move to Istanbul
- Use Case: Private LTE Network security. Need Magma and ONAP SMEs
- Kader/Wavelabs can help with secure aspects with slicing and private mobile network. Setup separate call. Include Neil Huff. Need R&D from Magma.
- 2 flows: EMCO under ONAP and EMCO standalone (SA)
- Anuket as cloud infrastructure
- Rebaca interop testing / synch with Wavelabs (Kader/Samir)
- Show Magma/ABot testing on 11/30
- End to end slicing- pickup where it was left off on 5G demo. Issue with firewall may be key issue. Jamie, Constanten, Jason, Samir. Samir to update on Nov 30.
- Physical radio integration: Is the RAN ready for testing on GenXcom? Cap Gemini/Intel to confirm (Sam/Utkash).
- Consider other RAN options
Reset Plan and Phases for 2022 (proposal)
- Phase 1: Magma + EMCO + Anuket - integration complete (ABot pending)
- Next steps: blueprint creation, documentation/cookbook, ONEEF collateral (tentative in April, virtual)
- Phase 2: Magma with ONAP CNF/VNF Orchestrator+ E2E + MEC
- Phase 3: 5G Slicing + ORAN SC + MEC
- Phase X: Magma with ONAP (global orchestrator in a central site) and EMCO (edge domain)
Workplan -
Workplan -
- ONAP/Magma Integration
- :
- CBA
- CBA development to automatically register the Magma AGW with the Magma 'Controller' is complete
- Trying Trying out the Magma Helm Chart workaround while Wavelabs works on updating the Helm Charts
- On the Helm Charts, there are two paths: short-term (Aarna) Yogen will try to workaround forcing the namespaces to be the same. Long-term fix; K8s resources need to be installed in different namespaces, and therefore be split into separate Helm packages (Wavelabs). The long term fix is a best practice offered on ONAP for Enterprise community and should be documented.
- Slicing-
- From ONAP for Enterprise Meeting: Jorge Hernandez Review any KPI Network Slicing requirement to be submitted to the Magma team - working with Kader Khan 's team.
- Principle/approach to consider VES as ONAP/Magma segways for KPI Collection sounds to be OK - no push back
- Suggestion was to work with Kader Khan 's team to define requirements, architecture (high/low) and E2E flows but no commitment about implementation
- Potential POC with basic flows between ONAP/Magma including DCAE/VES collectors
- Potential ONAP contribution to Magma code directly to support this use case?
- Kaloom was able to fix the firewall issues and now we have the high and low video use case working through the 2 different slices
- Next Step: gather requirements for slicing. Working with the Magma team.
- From ONAP for Enterprise Meeting: Jorge Hernandez Review any KPI Network Slicing requirement to be submitted to the Magma team - working with Kader Khan 's team.
- Radio
- GenXComm Radio. Can we start using it? Intel/integration issue. GenXComm coming on as a member.
- Labs for 2022: UNH Solid, Kaloom still on board? Do we need CENGN?
- Louis reached out to Kaloom for documentation above and broach lab question.
- Rebaca/Magma:
- Kader (Wavelabs)- successfully tested ABot with basic 5G Magma call. Youtube demo (timestamp 11:49): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E03Qu9btX3o&list=PLQ88zlc9KWGfhOZsRdtqs6UbP9vEeUExz&index=4
- Next Step- integrate ABot with Magma CICD - in progress
- CICD pipeline running. Parthiban to share links
Document as you build
- Placeholder - Do we need separate call for 5GSPB phase Next for execution? (similar to weekly 5G Cloud Native Network demo). Alternate Tuesdays?
