- Radio reaching Montreal lab
- FlexRAN installation in Montreal lab
- Capgemini Engineering CU/DU installation in Montreal lab - QR code issue
- Re-confirm Capgemini Engineering + UPF is up & running in Montreal lab
- Re-confirm UE is available in Montreal lab
- Re-confirm faraday cage is ready-to-go in Montreal lab. May need faraday cage connectors.
- GenXComm integration
Plan B - Rebaca Video-Only. Core only.
...
- VM availability for Rebaca Abot, media client, media server in Montreal lab - mitgated
- Rebaca software installation complete on VMs. Integration issues around routing.
9/7: Video client system IP needs to be in IP address of session. Yogendra looking for this. Raja had discussion with Rajat.
9/7: Which connectors/band is the radio supporting? Need to confirm with the UE.
Documentation & Collateral:
Call to Action:
- We’d like to evolve the Daily Standup on Slack to cover each of the items above, in addition to the technical communication currently underway. This will help us stay on track and assure we can deliver the best demo possible. If you are responsible for any of the items above, or if you can lend a hand or ideas, your updates and input are welcome and needed on the Daily Standup.
- Brainstorming- Please offer any ideas you have on what can be delivered as a compelling demo as it pertains to Plan A & B above or any other scenarios you feel are possible. For example, what can we show (besides a phone call) for an End-to-End demo? Or, What can we show (besides video) with and without slicing?
- Brainstorming- What additional risks and blockers do we have that are not listed above?
...
8/31: Samir: Beyond Altran, there are several more steps to be done in just a couple weeks. We need attention on these.
9/7: Jacobus. Running ping on trusted, not seeing traffic on untrusted side. Jacobus, Raja, etc will have a separate working session.
RAN:
09/02 Sveto: We have installed the master clock. It is connected with fiber to a NIC (Intel XXV710) in the same server you’re using. The management port of the clock should be reachable on 10.198.7.197. We kept the default admin user and password.
Next Steps?
Sam: "I've tested the new ACC100 card installed on the platform and everything is working properly. I'm running stability test with FlexRAN+ORAN-FH and will debug any issues, but we are now ready to integrate with L2. Thanks."
...
8/31: Clock installation is being finalized today (completed)
9/7: Sveto: Clock set up and connected. Sam: Will take a look this week to sync with GNB. Per FedEx, Radio should arrive to Kaloom tomorrow. Unknown amount of time to configure. Sam can start on the PTP tomorrow. Louis: Need a workplan for this. Sveto: Radio will be in the data center with the clock (cabling to the same server as NIC). Will likely need to put in a Faraday cage (will depend on the connectors). Hanen will supply the UE (Samsung), as soon as the RU is connected. Once connected, Sam and Hardik will need to do some integration. Once the RU is integrated, everything "Downstream" from there should work and we can start trying the use case (whatever we'll do with it for the demo). Amit: New UEs will require additional integration. We need details for the UE, we have examples about working with other UEs (might save time to use one of these).
Radio:
- Radio Arrival update - delivery ETA is 09/08
- Next Steps:
- radio install. Need cable types and possible other components for conectivity. Potential lead time for connectors for faraday cage.
- Hardik to share documentation about the radio setup with Sveto

"Document as you Build" approach provides for accurate collateral and lower LOE
Collateral Ideas-
- Video - Due
- Shoot various video (approx 5 minute in total)
- Slicing - Yogendra
- RAN - CU/DU config - Amit, L1 integration with CU/DU
- Radio - photos or video of the lab/cage
- Rabaca dashboard -
- Voice over - Heather/Amar
- Edit video - Louis/Brandon have lead
- Shoot various video (approx 5 minute in total)
- Slideware
- Animation
- Annimation
- 5G Cloud Native Topology diagram. Other diagrams available? Jamie has a Network diagram
- Cookbook/Build Guide
Slicing: Core network functions using ONAP + Network functions. Deploy, configure, send traffic (Yogendra lead and work with others).
RAN: CU + DU Configurations (Amit to lead). Same setting up a call (L1 integration + CU/DU), once more details, connectivity + radio support.
9/7: Hi-Res & Low-Res videos + Rebaca Dashboards on performance + Slideware + Diagrams. Do we have a network diagram available? Yes! Jamie has shared it. Will be added to the diagrams page.
Timeline:
Final Testing and Configuration: - (Sept 10 ambitious, keep for now to keep things moving)
