Agenda:

...

  • Roadmap refresh presented by Amar
    • Continue community feedback on roadmap proposal
  • Start building out a workplan
  • Magma 1.7 should be released this week.Start building out a workplan
  • April will be a slideware update for ONEEF
  • October will be live demo
    • Faraday cage is available at UNH
    • would be good to get an RAPP vendor to participate - fall back would be the ORAN-SC RAPP
    • major differences between 5G 17 and 18

Reference Material: 5G Super Blueprint Roadmap

Notes:

Phase 1 Status: They just got Istanbul installed in a stable manner. Will try out soon with hacked up Helm Charts. Magma 1.7 hasn’t happened. Suresh: Magma 1.7.0 sometime later this week. Have Helm charts been corrected? It will take more time for this. After 1.7, we’ll more features to 1.17.1 and will synch with Aarna team offline. Artifact/Collateral Phase I. What can we show? Suresh, will need to check. This will be a demo (per Suresh).

Phase 2. Status: Working on items in parallel in O-RAN (labs), Can we get some work items documented as a head-start. Aarna, GenXComm. One Summit timeline matches their timeline. GenxComm will be central entity.

  • Physical task fo shipping radio to UNH. License band/unlicenced band, faraday age, etc. UNH has a faraday cage!
  • Software Integration 1: GenxCom + Magma),
  • Software Integration 2: GenxComm with ONAP (Aarna)
  • Software Integration 3: GenxComm with Anuket (Aarna community member TBD)
  • All these can happen in parallel


Right hand side: MEG Application. Video streaming through Cap Gemini’s 5G Core. We can dust off or look at another MEC applications. Phase 2A: Do this by ONE Summit


Phase 2B: Configuration management (Aarna). Monitoring and CLA (coordinate with magma/GenxCom). Catherine has been discussingDavid: Do you mean configuration of the defined system (Day 0, Day 1, Day 2). Day 0 (done automatically).

Phase 3: Slicing. There’s the traditional approach (ONAP style, needs significant slicing functionality in Magma), Technique A. Technique B. Unshared slicing (each slice requireds new set of network functions). Need to invite Intel (Srini) to better comment on that one. If Intel style, we could do it even NOW. Don’t need all the new features of MAGMA. Non RT RIC, we need a A-RAP? Community member. XRAP for NRT RIC. In Oran SC (non RT RIC type tasks). ORAN-SC (Martin). There are XAPS as Hello World, a kind of micro services, things that can be deployed together. All “cloudified” from a deployment POV. Use case to sit on the Infra. XRAP running on NR RIC. RAPS running in BLANK. Can we find an RRAP community member vendor), then it becomes real. Fallback, sample, simulated R-RAP. Capturing notifications and doing configurations.Phase 2, we need Srini (AMF/SMF to be shared?). Bob to check.Neil: I think a part of that would depend on RAN, something other than fault routing to direct traffic to the right instance. If E2E, slicing, RAN.Check Release 17 + Release 18 on slicing, 5G Advanced, user equipment. 


Feedback; Offweek sessions more productive for working teams.

Bob: Logistics: call next week, 8:00 AM PT? 15:00 UTC was edging out the other option.


Agenda items for April 12 off-week meeting 

  • xTBD


___________________________________________

...

  • ONAP/ORAN -SMO Framework workstream
    • Martin- weekly meeting in place on SMO Framework packages. What ONAP group is involved? https://wiki.onap.org/x/DgmsBw
      • The team is on the way to turn the "ONAP based SMO package" including O-RAN-SC artifacts like 'Non-RT-RIC into a broader package, which includes CNFs like Near-RT-RIC and 5G Core(?)
      • Current feature set available:
        • SMO-Package
          • from ONAP: O1-Controller (SDN-R), VES-Collector, Message-Router (DMaaP), A1-Controller, Policy
          • from O-RAN-SC: Non-RT-RIC, hello-world rApp, Topology-service
        • simulated RAN-Package (O-DUs, O-RUs)
        • automated end-to-end O1 (and OFHM) closed loop tests
        • Documentation
        • Please see demo recording (start a 10min)
      • on the roadmap
        • add Near-RT-RICs
        • add 5G Core(s)
        • deployment of xApps
        • develop and add more automated end-to-end test cases
        • add traffic analytics tool (e.g. Wireshark)
    • Tracy- proposal to show SMO Framework demo to show capabilities
  • ORAN/Anuket workstream
  • 5G RAN:
    •  What workstreams can begin now that GenXcomm is onboard?
    •  Need to check in with GennXcom and determine RAN side of 5G SBP (CU/DU). Catherine suggestion: Bring this to the ORAN-SC community (Tracy + Martin). LF Staff to make connection. 


Action Items (open)

  •  LJ IlluzziRoadmap refresh
  •  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
  •  Kader Khan Suresh Krishnan Create requirements document capturing ONAP requirtements for Magma (as discussed on 03/08)
  •  Hardik Jain dedicated resource from GenXcomm to work 5G SBP
  •  Tracy Van Brakle Any link to Multi-Operator RAN from Dec 2021? Referenced on a previous call.
