ORAN SMO Package demo followup
Muddasar Ahmed (Mitre)- Asked about non-functional requirements; "security orchestration". Ranny suggests we will need to have the capability to demostrate security capabilities. Ranny suggests a security "champion" needs to step foreward. Potential for a security SIG under the Advisory Council

********** Parking Lot **************
Lab Architecture:
Updates from May 10, 2022 5G SBP Deep Dive meeting
How do we add Wavelabs lab into the architecture?
Request that the RNA and core details be specified on the google doc.
Roadmap - updated 5G SBP Phases
Mar 29, 2022 Off-Week deep dive meeting focus was on Road discussion: https://lf-networking.atlassian.net/wiki/x/Jk3v
Mar 22, 2022 Roadmap refresh presented by Amar
Magma 1.7 release pending. Testing underway
Targeting early Q2 for Phase 1.
Phase 1- in addition Anuket will need to be refreshed.
Phase 2- key addition is to implement GenXcomm integrations:
GenXcomm with ONAP (ONAP working as a SMO)
GenXcomm with Magma
GenXcomm with Anuket
Phase 2 stretch goal- ONAP configuration management of 5G core and/or ORAN
Architecture and Adjacent Communities
Request for a 5G Super Blueprint Requirements & Use Case Advisory Group
The need for such a group was confirmed and formally requested during the March DTF
Wiki page created: Requirements & Use Case Advisory Group
Role: identify use cases, requirments, architecture, platform component roles and ensure alignment among the participating communities.
Discussion Points-
Community thoughts on creating this group?
Any additional thoughts on the role of the group? Especially from the folks who attended the March DTF.
How would we staff this group? one per community (ONAP, Magma, EMCO, Anuket, O-RAN, End Users, etc.)?
Call for Action- signup to work on this important Advisory group.
Proposal to use the off Tueday for working meetings
Perhaps we can rotate between Requirements & Use Case Advisory Group, ONAP and EMCO Alignment, ORAN Alignment teams, RAN workstream.
Call for Action- Anyone from these teams interested in taking the March 29 slot? Maybe ORAN Alignment per below Next Steps?
ONAP/EMCO Alignment updates
Material from Last weeks DTF:
Latest Deck - Architecture, Role, Use Cases
2022 LFN Workshop - EMCO and ONAP On-boarding and use case alignment
Review Role Alignment, Use Cases, Action Items from above as needed
Next Steps:
Proposed starting points-
Look at O-RAN reference architecture
Sort/prioritize use cases
Potential workstreams- (picking up the discussion from 02/22)
Plugfest (June 2022) focusing on 5G SBP and Multi-Operator RAN (reference Dec 2021- Multi-Operator RAN- Tracy) Link: https://futurenetworks.ieee.org/conferences/2021-first-responder-and-tactical-networks-workshop
Is there an ORAN (preferably ORAN-SC) implemention available that can be installed? Wavelabs offered to open their lab for this.
5G RAN (RU + CU/DU)
Work that can be started now:
Coordination between GenXcomm, Wavelabs, UNH.
Kader offered to setup lab in India. Would need help setting up radio in India. off week meeting?
GenXcomm RAN server requirements.
Hardik/GenXcomm to name a dedicated resource to work 5G SBP
Ben will check on resource
GenXcomm has an ORAN implemenation that we can perhaps leverage.
ORAN-SC implementation - Alex Stancu can help
Yogen asked about recommended model. Tracy recommends a hybrid model over higherarcial model
Monthly Magma call- "Magma 5G- Everything you need to know".

ONAP Requirements
Magma feature submission: https://github.com/magma/grants/issues => Issues 36, 37 and 38 have been submitted to cover ONAP Requirements
Here is the list of requirements to support ONAP/Magma Integration, supported by @Neil Hoff (OPS 5G Customer):
We want to move forward with our Network slicing use case therefore we would like to know if there is any feedback on the presentation (ONAP/Magma Service Assurance Integration – KPIs) made by Jorge Hernandez-Herrero last year
What would be the Magma KPIs to support Network Slicing?
During our Integration with Magma, an issue has been identified: Magma K8s resources need to be installed in different namespaces, and therefore be split into separate Helm packages. Is there a delivery date from Magma to deliver it? thanks
Workstreams
ONAP/Magma Integration #1
Mar 22, 2022 - Update from Aarna: The action item is to try workaround in Helm charts on ONAP Istanbul release. We have been facing challenges with ONAP (I release) deployment. On one ONAP deployment on the UNH server where we managed to deploy, the ONAP portal is extremely slow, and takes few minutes to respond. We are trying to install on another server but were unable to allocate new servers due to issues with UNH LaaS setup. These are finally resolved, and we are able to allocate a new server on which we will restart ONAP deployment, and then the workaround to deploy Magma with modified Helm charts.
Mar 8, 2022 - CBA and Helm repos. Louis/Yogen need to unstick check-in issue.
Feb 22, 2022 - Ran out of time for update
Feb 8, 2022 Yogendra: Working on a Helm chart issue by splitting them up. Access gateway. Small infra changes. We'll them be taking up the Magma orchestrator. Is there any specific help from Magma needed (Suresh)? Yes, that would be a great help (orchestrator charts). Suresh and Yogendra to synch offline. Helm chart fixes will require namespace changes (the ideal path). There is also a workaround to force all namespaces to be the same. The community agrees this is not the ideal long-term solution. It was requested that the Magma community, led by Suresh (Wavelabs) work with Yogen to package the Helm charts with namespace corrections as the long-term solution. Suresh to consult with Magma community if this will lead to any conflicts with Magma namespace as it exists today.
ONAP/Magma Topic: #2
Mar 22, 2022 Kader - have servers and simulators. Waiting on 5G radio.
Mar 8, 2022
Feb 22, 2022 - Ran out of time for update
Feb 8, 2022 Wavelabs + Rebaca making good progress (in Wavelabs lab) on integration. Before Magma 1.7 come out, we'd like to replicate this in the community labs (by cloning). If using Wavelabs for community use, need to address some issues (e.g. jumphost set up as a trusted host). Can a jumphost be set up at Kaloom and/or UNH? Hanen/Suresh/Amar looking into it. Option may be to connect the labs. Reference- UNH lab is used for 5G resources (Amar).
Magma namespace changes- Namespace changes needed in Magma to resolve Helm chart issue (permanent fix)- Wavelabs/Suresh
ONAP/ORAN -SMO Framework workstream (Service Management Orchestration)
Martin- weekly meeting in place on SMO Framework packages. What ONAP group is involved? https://wiki.onap.org/x/DgmsBw
Tracy- proposal to show SMO Framework demo to show capabilities - Off-week call?
Automated deployment and testing - using SMO package and ONAP Python SDK - DRAFT -demo recording ar bottom of page
Tracy- SMOs for gNB, etc
ORAN/Anuket workstream
5G RAN:
Feb 22, 2022 What workstreams can begin now that GenXcomm is onboard?
Feb 8, 2022 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.
Lab Resources
UNH- Faraday cage in place.
Kaloom (Montreal) - Hanen, GenXcomm radio is currently at Kaloom lab. Hanen will talk with Ganesh. (Kaloom previously ran the UPF and fabric). Faraday cage in place
Missing radio parts- SW for RAN. If GenXcomm has this, then much easier to deploy
Wavelabs (India)-
Action Items (completed)
Any Other Business
Feb 22, 2022 ONAP/Magma Integration - Service Assurance - KPI Network Slicing. This is being tracked by ONAP for Enterprise Task Force. Will come into play in the 5G SBP down the line.
