Minutes

• No preset agenda
• Overview of current status
  • Presentation of initial planning is nearly complete and will be posted to wiki after internal release review
  • Initial goal is to provide a stack from hardware up to and including RAN Intelligent Controller (code available at https://gerrit.oran-osc.org/r/#/admin/projects/ as part of ORAN) on top of which "xapps" can be run
  • Goal is to provide CD testing of software stack on a small number of hardware variants
  • Goal of RIC is to provide communications between xapps and eNodeB/gNodeB which exist outside of REC, so at least the initial use case of REC is to provide the ability for RIC to establish E2 connections to eNodeB/gNodeB
  • Low latency is a major design goal as is small hardware footprint in terms of physical size and cost so that future development could possibly move closer and closer to edge
  • Plan is to include https://github.com/nokia/danm as a component in order to allow a mix of different network types in a pod so that differing latency tolerance of different software component can be accommodated by different network types
