FlexRAN + Altran RAN + OpenShift Containers Update (Hanen/Rajat/Sam/Amar)

2 Things:

1 Getting the FlexRAN code/binaries: Have components ready for testing. Goal: Run on baremetal first. Adding 2 members to the call (NittyNidhi, JenzhouJianzhu) working to get the openshift Openshift environment running in the lab in San Diego. Will provide the binaries after this callhappens. Future: Hanen/Sveto to then run the baremetal call in Montreal lab. Using a CentOS 7 container on openshiftOpenshift. Kaloom can dedicate baremetal server specifically for this. 

2. Getting the Altran, CU/DU containers.

Sriram reach reached out to RAN team at Altran in India. Haven't heard back yet (COVID impacts). 

5G Radio Update (Sriram V/Kaloom Team)

Kaloom has been in touch with Sriram V. First step: Testing the radio in Austin lab first. Once determined to be fully working. After testing complete, will ship to Montreal lab and place in Faraday cage. Amar asked Sam if it's possible to FlexRAN up and running next week? That way we have sometime to test the radio against. Sam to provide Jianzhu with the image of the container. 

Question raised: Is there a diagram (planning) what this version of the demo will entail? Yes, this is a customary deliverable. Brandon/Amar to start a draft. 

E2E 5G Slicing Update (Sriram R)

Samir at Rebaca looking for a resource to assist.  Samir/Sriram in contact. Can wait another couple weeks.

5G Core is the initial phase, then E2E testing with emulator. The slices are there, needs testing (reliant upon Altran folks in India). Will then work on integrating with the UPF.

Sriram has been working with Swami/Lin and weekly ONAP 5G slicing calls. Testing on the Core. Will flag Catherine if any further help is needed from the ONAP community. 

5G Super Blueprint

Jira / GitHub Update Update (Louis)

The 5G Super Blueprint Jira now created. We need to consider now how to categorize the Jira. ONAP integration with a federated Jira has been approved but need to understand how this works. Louis to coordinate with ONAP, develop a recommendation for hierarchy, federation, workflows, etc. GitHub has not yet been set up; need to hammer out the same issues. Super Blueprint will upstream the code back to the project codebases wherever possible. Louis developing a ReadMe for Jira/GitHub. How do we make this effective? What are the categories and where do we filter? Project TSCs need to look at federation and upstreaming to project communities. LFN Staff needs to coordinate touching base with project TSCs.

ONAP Enterprise Working Group Update / Magma Integration (Amar) 

Amar gave a brief overview of the work being done to integrate ONAP with Magma happening on the ONAP Enterprise Working Group call. The presentation can be seen here.

Magma core has access gateway and Magma orchestrator. 1st step is orchestration. The magma controller is already containerized (CNF). Also a PNF/VNF (Hybrid approach). 

An ONAP Magma integration plan was shown. 

This is open initiative, anyone can get involved.

Please see the ONAP Enterprise Task Force Wiki: 

https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/TSC+Task+Force%3A+ONAP+for+Enterprise+Business

Bi-weekly call on Wednesday 7am PST - next one scheduled on 5/26

Need 5G Super Blueprint Use Case (Brandon/Heather)

Looking to identify a specific use case that we can develop to better show what the 5G Super Blueprint can do. What's the business case for the taking an open source approach? In the past, we've shown an E2E call on a keynote stage, what could we show (and how) in the future to make this real for folks? Initial ideas have been factory floor, warehouse, etc. A suggestion was made to look at the Magma development conference: 5G, Narrowband IOT. Aligning with their roadmap for IoT maybe be synergistic. Might be helpful to have the current roadmap presented to help foster conversation. It was noted that the Magma roadmap does currently function on 5G (narrowband IOT might not be the focus). Phil has volunteered to help be the conduit with this group. 

LFN Member participation encouraged. Call for the group: Send in your use case ideas? Child page created for use case brainstorming. Please add to this page. LFN Communities feedback + EUAG feedback needed.
