This objective is to port the models and controller of the ONF Wireless Transport project into the ONAP framework. Beginning in 4Q 2015, the Wireless Transport Project within the Open Transport group of the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) has pursued the goals of defining a shared data model for wireless network elements and developing a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller to manage a network made up of equipment from several manufacturers. The model is defined in the ONF Technical Reference TR-532, the SDN controller is based on OpenDaylight, and the software code for the controller is available at an open source github repository. Because the controller is based on OpenDaylight, it is consistent with the ONAP architecture, and we believe that the majority of the software for the applications can be ported into ONAP with only minor modifications. The greatest difference is in the deployment of the controller. The Wireless Transport Project deploys the controller as a standalone virtual machine. In contrast, ONAP deploys the controller as a set of Docker containers within the larger ONAP framework. Our tasks are to learn and apply the ONAP tools and practices for deployment.
