- Next Meeting
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.

New Landing Page on LFN website: https://www.lfnetworking.org/5g-super-blueprint/
Amar Kapadia made a presentation at ONEEF. See Slides here.
- Concern raised about using commercial RAN in 5G Super Blueprint. The intent is to move to all open source for platform components, e.
...
- g Open RAN and Open Core.
- O-RAN and OPEN RAN go beyond 3GPP specs to define new architecture, interfaces and deployments options.
- Any any proprietary elements used in the demo will be purely 3GPP based and therefore interchangeable
- Lincoln Lavoie can Can look into linking labs together if needed
Industry Drivers: US GOVE OPS / OPS 5G involvement. Recognition that many of these components to build exist in open source.

Track 2: 5G Super Blueprint: In parallel, built a 5G Super Blueprint (specs, scripts, instructions, etc) covering the phases presented earlier.
Between The tracks will use the SAME: Same: Wiki, Mailing List, Slack Channel, & Meeting Schedule (to start). Potentially As needed, we could potentially split out a parallel meeting timeseparate 5G Super Blueprint call, sub-section of the wiki, Slack Group, etc.
Status Update
FlexRAN + Altran RAN + OpenShift Containers Update (Hanen/Rajat/Sam)
Faraday Cage built! Sveto gave an update. Faraday Cage has been built! Needs to installed, radio being shipped soon. Intel team testing in San Diego first, then deploying in Montreal. Includes FlexRAN + Altran. Future Step: Magma integration. FlexRAN + Altran is currently running in lab. Have been tested in the UE, the team is now working to get Openshift set up in the lab. Hanen and Sam are working on this. There is a working radio in the Intel lab now, with Altran integrated. It shouldn't be a big lift to deploy to OpenShift. Target: completion before the next demo call in 2 weeks. Faraday Cage will depend on the radio type. Small Cell radio / Indoor Antenna is needed (Outdoor antenna won't work).
5G Radio Update (Sriram V)From Sriram: Detected an amplifier overheating issue with our 5G Radio (these are still hand made), and has recalled it to fix it. Good news is that the problem is now resolved, and we will have the radio in hand in a few weeks. We have a backup radio as well in hand that is outdoor, just in case. We are awaiting your Faraday cage, at which point we can ship it to you.
Radio from GenxComm will be packaged up and shipped to Montreal soon.
E2E 5G Slicing Update (Sriram R)Rajat primarily working on network slicing of 5G core and integration with ONAP (weekly meetings). Sriram , R and other members from Aarna are trying to bring up the 5G core. Sriram R: Good progress last week. Thread 1: ONAP in UNH Lab is Done. Some ONAP modules need to updated beyond Guilin to Honolulu (work continuing). Thread 2: How to integrate Altran 5G Core. Exploring a couple options for this. Core slicing very possible. RAN slicing will take longer.
Conversation ongoing with with Kaloom (Ganesh/Sveto) about the UPF (a 5G core module) about configuration with ONAP. This will be the focus of work after the Altran integration. Will need to happen in the Montreal Lab.
Sriram Gave an update. Track 1: Replicate ORAN slicing in UNH Lab. DONE! Core slicing with simulator. Guilin + Honolulu. Track 2: Hook up to Altran 5G core. Work in progress.
There was a question from Wavelabs on expectations for participation. Demo participants are free to identify the components where they would like to contributeWhat are expectations from this team on waveform participation.
Demo Playbooks
We need to better define demo artifacts and components for reusability.
...
How To Page: How to replicate the demo page now moved over to LFN Wiki: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/aYEZAw. Demo participants from last time: Please review and add your demo contribution set up.
...
This will keep our marketing active and help us lead up to and promote the next demo version to be unveiled in the Summer/Fall.
Notes:
Concern raised about using commercial RAN in 5G Super Blueprint. The intent is to have a mix of open source + proprietary to start, then phase to all Open source.

Next Meeting
The next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 6th, 8:00 AM PT. Brandon will be OO but Louis, Amar, and Hanen will run the meeting.
Questions: Ask them on the mailing list and Slack Channel.
