ONAP / OSC / O-RAN Alliance: Cooperation & Alignment
- N.K. Shankaranarayanan Presentation of slides discussed in past weeks at RSAC call last week.
- Slides:
- https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/12518526/ONAP_OSC_Areas_20230321.pdf?api=v2
- Based on discussion of topics on : https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=162105284
- Recording: (second half of) https://zoom.us/rec/share/D3ZkRsAQ1lu9QY1zomJmAnmXzAUL3FTWJSFqCPDIUKVmZ96HbEu7DQLy34yidjDe.GMyDeZXm34UwgOSR
- Excellent session to make people aware / motivated about overlaps, with concrete opportunity for better alignment & engagement.
- Slides:
- Lots of hard work to do. We will try to identify concrete follow ups. Maybe best to wait a little to see outcome of OSC SMO PTL election.
- High priority newer areas seem to be O2, AI-ML, rApps. Ref slides above.
Questions / Comments / AOB:
- Reminder: Using copyrighted models N.K. Shankaranarayanan Martin Skorupski
- Cannot redistribute copyrighted material, e.g from 3GPP, O-RAN Alliance
- Try to have opensource code model driven, and if models are needed they can be downloaded and built at build/run time - but not redistributed
- Similar for anything derived substantially from copyrighted material
- We can use terms, small samples etc in documentation & code, but not chunks of copyrighted material.
- Ref discussion & material at ONAP TSC 2022-09-08 meeting.
- This issue mostly arises for use cases since many SMO/SIM platform functions are model driven.
