Project Updates:

Enhancing Autonomous Network through Generative AI and Intent-Driven Technologies - Keguang He (China Mobile)

    • Autonomous network: A network composed of intelligent and automated infrastructure, operational managementsystems, and business systems. ChinaMobile has set the goal of reaching Level 4 advanced autonomous driving by the year 2025 and has initiated a large-scale, comprehensive autonomous network practice across its entire network.


Intent Driven Orchestration for an Autonomous 5G Network - Praveen Kumar Kalapatapu (Infosys)

...

  • A ONE Summit session has been approved: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/one-summit-north-america/program/schedule/
  • There is a need to set up a recurring call on India/China friendly time to keep this moving forward. This may occur through the AI Task Force where an APAC-friendly time is being established
  • The AI Taskforce will serve as another platform to move this initiative forward


Orchestration of OAI Core and Amarisoft gNB with EMCO - Yogen/Vikas (Aarna Networks)

...

        • Scope-
          • use ONAP SMO to exercise gNodeB. Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface)
          • Showcase orchestration
          • Connect gNodeB
            • Mitigation- UNH can host core but has no resources to implement; Yogen can implement
          • Potential reference point/tie-in with ORAN-SC
        • Requirements/Goals
          • Demonstate connectivity and orchestration
          • exercise Amarisoft gNodeB (UNH)
          • Stretch goal- tie-in with ORAN-SC
          • Stretch goal - Showcase RAN connectivity (O1 interface). OAI not ready with O1 interface
        •  Resources-
          • Aarna Networks
          • UNH - gNodeB. Note; gNodeB is T&M gear and will need to be shared among projects.
        • Next Steps-
          • Bring up OAI core and orchestrator with Amarisoft gNodeB - UNH lab
            • Create Ansible template / tasks that would deal with the gNodeB - Lincoln/Yogen
            • Bring up OAI core at UNH using the orchestrator. No update, been using SD-Core in the meantime
          • LaaS booking, extend the booking to last longer than 21 days - ping Lincoln by email.


Simplified E2E Network Slicing -Yogen (Aarna)


SEDIMENT+KubeArmor

    • New Use Case/collaboration proposal (Muddasar):
      • Project L3AF using eBPF for LSM (Linux Security Modules?). There may be a potential for alignment around security; zero-trust capabilities- Ron to take it up with KubeArmor technical team
    • Muddasar asked if SEDIMENT can be ported to Linux to expand it capabilities to say, self-attestation.
      • Zahir shared the SEDIMENT can be used on Linux and uses the notion of user-defined functions so that for Linux devices, with much larger storage spaces then IoT devices, specific files can be specified to be attested to insure they have not been tampered with.
      • Drilling deeper it is proposed that SEDIMENT might be used to attest a Linux host before deployment. For example, when a CSP deploys Kubernetes infrastructure on Linux based platforms there is a capability where SEDIMENT can attest the host before deployment. A base-level Use Case can show the concept of using Linux to deploy different security-level SLAs
    • SEDIMENT presentation accepted for ONE Summit: https://onesummit2024.sched.com/event/1YUsm?iframe=no
    • Demo ready using environmental sensors was presented on 12/06.
    • Initial PoC:
    • Potential Hex Five sub project - Cesare/Rajesh
      • Investigative meeting took place between Peraton and Hex Five (Cesare).
      • Next Step- Hex Five to potentially come back with a proposal. in progress as of 11/01/23
    • Next Steps:
      • Muddasar new Use Case proposal... add detail. Add to next agenda
      • Zahir/LJ working on adding environmental sensors Use Case to Library
      • Looking to create an easy to use guidebook (Raj)
        • Related to API work
        • Would have to go through DARPA Public Release process
        • Aarno Labs- an MIT spin-off. Provides security for (currently) Java script. Whereas KubeArmor protects at the container level, Aarno protects at the Java script program level. SEDIMENT offers them an alternative where they may not be deploying on SGX (Software Guard Extensions). Contact Eric and Jeff Perkins also on SEDIMENT project. Raj to make introduction. Presented on Sept PI meeting.
      • Identify and develop a security Use Case


SABRES: Slice Selection, Path Validation, Multiparty Management - Lincoln Thurlow. (USC/ICI)

--------- Reference material below --------

5G Super Blueprint Library -

  • Page opened for viewing- send comments to lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org
  • Proposal to add a column for higher level network function associated with each entry, example; slicing, security, UPF integration, IoT (visual inspection), etc.
  • Marketing Plan
      • The goal is that each completed project get the same marketing treatment (i.e. Marketing Plan execution) where the technology is highligthed and the participants and contributing companies are recognized.
