LF Anti-trust

  • We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Welcome 1st Time Attendees

5G Super Blueprint Overview and Getting Started



Project Updates



  • SABRES: Slice Selection, Path Validation, Multiparty Management

    • Three use cases will have separate services associated

    • What orchestrator will/can be used?

    • ICCCN paper: ICCCN_2023_paper_187.pdf

    • Code repository (https://pulwar.isi.edu/sabres/cbs/cbs) that was used during the last government demonstration.  This is the initial code base (src directory), which will not be the final product (as this version only works on 2-3 variables, rather than arbitrary).  This code was used to replace ETSI's OSM's PLA module (using minizinc constraint solver) with CBS [https://osm.etsi.org/gitlab/osm/pla].

    • Next Steps:

      • Replicate Simplified Slicing demo locally in ISI lab (Lincoln)

      • Debug the environment (Lincoln)

      • Set up a drop-in replacement for the current slicing algorithm with CBS algorithm (Lincoln)

      • Leverage UNH and Kaloom. Ganesh and Lincoln



  • Simplified E2E Network Slicing (Aarna)

    • Question to community to bring in OAI stack

    • Next Steps:

      • Slice selection within Edge Site Selection and Placement use case

      • Potential to demo OAI stack to the community - Yogen

      • Yogen had asked about gNodeB at UNH. Lincoln advises it is available 2nd half June



  • Edge Site Selection and Placement (Equinix) - On Hold

    • From June D&TF - Call to action: What is current state of edge site selection and where does it need to evolve (future state)?

    • Tie-in with simplified slicing (Aarna)

    • Edge definition talk from the LF? Twitter? LF Edge Taxonomy. https://hubs.la/Q01RnPZh0

    • Next Steps

      • Proposal to pause, and focus on E2E slicing

      • Slice selection within edge placement - Yogen





Preview of the 5G Super Blueprint Library

  • The 5G Super Blueprint Library is the central reference point for completed 5G Super Blueprint projects.

  • The 5G Super Blueprint Library will be announced in an upcoming 5G SBP Whitepaper that will include all the projects completed to date as well as all the projects

  • Next Steps:

    • Add project Lead(s) contact info into the Library Index:

      • SEDIMENT + KubeArmor

        • Peraton Lead: Yow-Jian Lin

        • Accuknox Lead: Ankur Kothiwal (ankur dot kothiwal at accuknox dot com)

      • Simplified End-to-End Network Slicing: Yogen

      • L3AF Integration with 5G-UPF (User Plane Function): Shankar

      • Factory Floor Safety: ??

      • 5G Public Cloud Edge Interface

        • Intel:

        • Aarna: Amar?

        • Equinix: Oleg

      • 5G Cloud Native Network: ??

    • Marketing Plan
