5G Use Case Meeting notes for Jan 23, 2020

1. CMPv2 & AAF status - RED at M2/M3 right now.  REQ-140 - Getting issue details... STATUS Problem w/ CMPv2 ... need committers. AAF S/W hard to work with not much documentation, troubleshooting, which triggered a new approach for Architecture. Due to second pt, have proposed architecture for R6, some new work planned originally suggestion from Former user (Deleted) change to Yellow status.
2. Harmonization U/C - Some things pushed out (Partial Green) at M2/M3 - O1 enhancements moved to G release hoping to harmonize (1) Fault & (2) Config change Notification (CMNotify) Thus CMNotify will be pushed to R7.  Meetings to harmonize 3GPP standards. Waiting for Standards to be Harmonized. Intentionally descope something so that we don't cause churn. Don't want to implement something that would have to be re-implemented.
3. VES Spec updates - Meeting setup for  23 Jan 2020 by marge.hillis . To try to figure out which is most current draft, may have to go to DCAE project next week 30 Jan 2020  to discuss how to proceed. Need to make sure it is one w/ the correct content. DRAFT 4.  Alok G. is on medical leave, and Albino Pinho is the current delegate. PM schema update needed. Security change.

Architecture S/C presentation for Run Time DB.

Team is working to define the Proposal (see wiki).

Then it will be presented at the Arch S/C and then TSC.

For R6, will be part of CC-SDK. Met with Yuriy Malakov  & Dan Timoney . CONFIGURATION PERSISTENCE SERVICE R6 not a separate component in R6.

Update on slicing proposal. SO/Seshu presented.

Multiple functional requirements/Use Cases. Recursive orchestration of nested services. Didn't want independent W/F for flows but try to leverage/reuse work. Presented the End to End U/C with macro-view for E2E slice. and components impacted. Right now impact will be on SO, OOF, Policy, SDC and AAI. What controller will be used for managing slices? Focusing on design aspects and instantiation and activation. Put up logical E2E slice. Target simple VNFs. Focus to create VNF vs reconfiguring a VNF? Slice segments are going to be both dedicated/shared. Started with discovering existing resources; assume segments created with VNF/PNFs in inventory & discoverable. Spinup new slice instances.

02 Jan 2020:

• (1) ROADMAP - Proceeding with detail, developments for roadmap beyond R6.
• (2) API - defining API in progress.
• (3) PoC - Prototype of PoC from Orange focusing on VNF-portion.
• (4) SO - Implementation in SO W/F and hierarchy using Svc ref concept to be discussed beyond R6.
• (5) ORCHESTRATION - documentation what will ONAP do wr.t. slice orchestration
• (6) MODELING - Discussing Modeling aspects, how to represent CSI, NSSI, NSSMF etc how to implement in SO how to communicate w/ external domain NSSMF.
• (7) VID - Discussion: Milind Jalwadi (Unlicensed)
  • JSON based screens for VID, Is there a slicing GUI that could be re-used.
  • would want to upstream that NSST NSSD
  • Part of the Network Slicing Use Case.

Trying to settle on scope of the Use Case. List of many possible contributions that will take more than one release to complete. Impacts for items to be added to wiki (analysis).

Prioritize the work items what we could propose to accomplish.

CM Notify as a new domain has been accepted on the DCAE S/C today Oct 24 2019.

Dongho Kim  will be creating the test/integration page.

21 Nov 2019 - A1 & O1 test integration pages have been added & links.

02 Jan 2020 Sandeep code was merged w/ SDN-C branch. Current container has the latest code. Continuing to test. In AT&T lab now being tested.

09 Jan 2020 In progress. On track. O1 may need attention. 

• marge.hillis will setup a call to discuss possibly some gaps maybe move things to R7. Meetings w/ Dave Smith et al. trying to push through harmonization. Standards meeting in Nov. 2019. There was push back & negotiation between 3GPP & ONAP as to how to proceed. This is because it was first exercise, once we have a process in place it should go more smoothly. 3GPP specified some stuff and tried to over-specify into ONAP. Shortcoming in 3GPP current CMnotification only handles one MO if this was adopted. Working with 3GPP to correct. Waiting to see if 3GPP will accept the proposal. Working w/ standards for 3GPP FEB SA5 standards meeting.
  
• Harmonization U/C - Some things pushed out (Partial Green) at M2/M3 - O1 enhancements moved to G release hoping to harmonize (1) Fault & (2) Config change Notification (CMNotify) Thus CMNotify will be pushed to R7.  Meetings to harmonize 3GPP standards. Waiting for Standards to be Harmonized. Intentionally descope something so that we don't cause churn. Don't want to implement something that would have to be re-implemented.

09 Jan 2020 From SDN-R when we send config change align to NetConf Yang model avail. whatever yang model used, want config DB schema to be aligned w/ yang model to keep model driven. wanted Yang Models from ORAN if possible. In license catch-22. Some yang models for RAN on ORAN website due to licensing issues from Martin Skorupski took 3GPP model converted to files to compile. Issue w/ ORAN getting ok from 3GPP that it is a valid rep of 3GPP model. Option (1) use previous yang model, or (2) switch to ORAN model if available immediately. yang to SQL schema. Only need some parts of the model for SON project. Currently MariaDB continue to use. Piotr, Marek, et al. If there are useful file wo/ IPR issues, should be a way to use interim files.

Use Case Template - discuss updating the Use Case template & pages with some of these fields. Modeling team has said it would be useful for them to have the pre-condition & post-conditions, and information being passed (info-flows) documented.

Use Case Template

Filling out, describing and creating the Wiki for a Use Case

Use Case Tracking Template and Use Case Template

Proposed Functional Template for Use Cases

Ben talked w/ Andy Mayer U/CR call Oct 23. He said he is preparing the page, and would present here at the 5G U/C S/C call.

REQUIREMENTS SUBCOMMITTEE - requirements sub-group / not bring use cases any more, refer to them as requirements. / proposed change talk less about architecture in requirements mtgs & reviews. more clear split between req & arch discussion.   / Alla Goldberg changed U/C S/C to Requirements S/C. Security and ctl loop req will be discussed in those S/C; other things should go to Req S/C.

5G U/C teams

Chaker Al-Hakim - History Inventory resources associated w/ xNF. Assumptions: what are the resources that I need to inventory about a xNF so that I have a complete view of the VNF. parms added due to nature of VNF. resource inventory didn't have to do with provisioning data that the xNF can have. Should be evolved to reflect what we know today.

Oskar Malm

Preparing presentations at DDF in Prague in DDF for R6 BulkPM functionality in Jan 2020.

Demo in Dec 5, 2019 - R4 functionality. PM control part is green; the other bulk PM for certificate handling has dependency with

held meeting for discussing Civic Address elements & Geolocation information w/ the modeling S/C

PnP - PNFD/SDC AID/AAI Schema Modeling - Discussion Jan 2, 2020

Eventually will the PNFregistration VES event for PnP (R7).

SO presentations related to Building block definitions. Dependency to REQ-140. Option #2 new arch. is agreed. Option #1 continue w/ old.

TSC Release Page.

Frankfurt Release Requirements

WHAT IS A USE CASE VS A REQUIREMENT? In the REQUIREMENTS Table of the R6 Release Requirements Wiki (above) the Use Case requirements as discussed on the TSC call for Sept 12, and David McBride has asked that we have requirements (jiras) on separate rows. Further follow-up discussions will be had for "what is a use case" and if some of the 5G use cases should be moved up to the first table.

WIKI: 5G RAN SERVICE MODELING & DEFINITION in R6 Frankfurt

CDS Data dictionary - Define attribute, in that entry tells you how to get that value. Yuriy Malakov

If you needed the IP@ you can go that entry → points to the REST call. Used for instantiation and configuration management. Model driven ONAP. Modeling Concepts

3GPP TS28.541/TS28.540 - 5G NRM Network Resource Model analysis (spreadsheet). Looking parameters introduce

Classify parameters - CDS Data Dictionary, A&AI, RunTime Cfg DB.

Presentations - Modeling S/C, U/C S/C, U/C Realization, 5G U/C.

Modeling S/C - Experimental info model introduced (standards driven)

A&AI - classification of A&AI parameters. Commission (might need at installation & commissioning) → A&AI.

Onboarding - Onboarding, PNF PNFregistration, CMNotify (VES events), Pre-defined "load 3GPP model"

Information Flows - Where these might be used.

ORAN Standards - Usage of the 3GPP TS28.541 in ORAN Standards. Might want to consider which 3GPP parameters ORAN cares about & when. They might an opinion of when to incorporate parameters.
