...
- Hardik Jain from GXC provided an overview of ORAN. Slides to follow.
- Facts & Highlights-
- Tested up to 1 gigabit per second. Speed is dependent on the UE being used and can go higher
- Not yet optimized for latency. Current set achieves sub 10 millisecond latency.
- Current setup can support 3 O-RU per 1 DU. This is increasing with each release.
- Currently integrated with Magma 5G core
- Facts & Highlights-
- Open questions-
- What is the processing delay at DU and CU
- What Use Cases can be shown?
- What components are needed and what components may be missing to build a demonstrable PoC.
- What configuration interface does GXC support? ORAN interfaces or proprietry?
- Proposed Use Case (Paul/American Tower)- would be interested in a combination of public and private cloud (hybrid network) with the private side used for IoT, robotics, etc. and the public side connectivty that can handle private sliced network use cases like Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), but at the same time allowing us to enable wireless service providers to also partake of the network. In a perfect world, we should be able to publish Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) IDs for the private network, each one with its own set of capacity and latency requirements, but also set aside capacity for wireless service providers traditional use cases.
- Proposal (Yogen)- Orchestration of CNF version of O-CU/DU of GXC in lab using ONAP
- Proposal (Yogen)- Day 0/N configuration of O1 and M-plane configuration for O-CU/DU and RU using ONAP/SDNR(UI/Restconf)
- Proposal (Yogen)- Exercising RAN Slicing support for eMBB
- Proposal (Yogen)- Control loop exercise using performance measurement data Rx from RAN elements.
- Next Steps-
- Building Blocks/Proof Points:
- Deployment through Anuket and Kubernetes to instantiate CU/DU functions (Muddasar)
- Day 1 configuration/alignment of CU/DU
- What configuration interface does GXC support?
- Proof Point 1- Deployment of K8 workloads without any function (Muddasar)
- Proof Point 2 -Deployment of workload specific to the core and specific to RAN (Muddasar)
- Proof Point 3 -Can workloads be configured? (Muddasar)
- Proof Point desired outcomes: (Muddasar)
- 5G Core is deployed and configured
- RAN is deployed and configured
- UE simulator can joint the network and access the services (SMS, voice, data)
- Building Blocks/Proof Points:
- Labs:
- Kaloom (Montreal) - CU/DU being setup in Kaloom (Ganesh). workplan? Goal- end to end slicing core to RAN. Architecture diagram?
- UNH
- Wavelabs (India)
- Equinix (Dallas)
- Aarna
Off-Week Deep Dive Meeting-
...
- Lab Resources Utilization- Kaloom/UNH/Wavelabs (India)
- Radio- GenXcomm/UNH/Wavelabs- radio HW requirements, Wavelabs India lab setup.
- ORAN -Service Management Orchestration (SMO) Framework- demo to show capabilities, and plan out next steps for 5G SBP
- ORAN-SC implementation in the lab- what is available today? What is on the horizon?
- Integrations:
- GenXcomm with ONAP (ONAP working as a SMO)
- GenXcomm with Magma
- GenXcomm with Anuket
Action Items (open)
- Ranny Haiby Need decision on core (November & Longer term)
- Ganesh Venkatraman Status at each lab
- Ganesh Venkatraman Next Steps
- Kader Khan, Parthiban Nalliamudali , Benjamin Posthuma begin work setting up radio components in Wavelabs lab. Can radio be shipped to Wavelabs in Hyderbad? GXC-radios working with Magma. Testing of all Magma 5G capabiliites underway. Other radio vendor DMW
- Tracy Van Brakle extend invitation to other operator members of ORAN (i.e. Verizon)
- Heather Kirksey Reach out to outreach committee on Magma Slack #magma-outreach-committee to discuss joint marketing opportunities.
- Tracy Van Brakle Any link to Multi-Operator RAN from Dec 2021? Referenced on a previous call.
- Alex Stancu Can help with ORAN implementation. Martin- what is the success criteria? Agenda item for Deep Dive meeting?
- Martin Skorupskican add detail and next steps for SMO Framework. https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/x/-YvYAg
- LJ Illuzzi Visibility on the Demo document
