| O-RU Fronthaul Recovery Use Case |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| ************ |
| Introduction |
| ************ |
| |
| This use case is a non-real-world closed-loop use case to demonstrate automated recovery when the fronthaul connection between an O-DU and O-RU is reset. |
| An application in the NONRTRIC senses the fault from the O-RU (O1-FM) and initiates a NETCONF reset operation (O1-CM) using the OAM controller. |
| More details about the use case can be found on the O-RAN SC wiki: `RSAC <https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=20878423>`_ and `OAM <https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/OAM/Closed+loop+use+case>`_. |
| |
| Non-RT RIC provides multiple implementation versions of the recovery part of the use case. One in the form of a python |
| script, one utilizing the ONAP Policy Framework, and one Go version that utilizes Information Coordination Service (ICS). |
| |
| The code is available in the `use case repo <https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=nonrtric%2Frapp%2Forufhrecovery.git;a=summary>`_ |
| |
| This product is a part of :doc:`NONRTRIC <nonrtric:index>`. |
| |
| Standalone Script Solution |
| ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
| |
| The script version consists of a python script that performs the tasks needed for the use case. There are also two |
| simulators. One message generator that generates alarm messages, and one SDN-R simulator that receives the config |
| change messages sent from the script and responds with alarm cleared messages to MR. |
| |
| All parts are Dockerized and can be started as individual containers, in the same network, in Docker. |
| |
| ONAP Policy Solution |
| ++++++++++++++++++++ |
| |
| There is also another solution for performing the front-haul recovery that is based on `ONAP Policy Framework <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Policy+Framework+Project>`_. |
| A TOSCA Policy has been created that listens to DMaaP Message Router, makes a decision on an appropriate remedy and then signals the decision as a configuration change message via |
| REST call to the OAM controller. |
| |
| There is a `docker-compose <https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=nonrtric.git;a=tree;f=docker-compose/docker-compose-policy-framework>`_ available |
| in the nonrtric repo for bringing up the complete standalone version of ONAP Policy Framework. |
| |
| The detailed instructions for deploying and running this policy are provided in |
| the `wiki <https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RICNR/O-RU+Fronthaul+Recovery+usecase>`_. |
| |
| ICS Consumer Solution |
| +++++++++++++++++++++ |
| |
| The ICS Consumer solution is implemented in Go and instead of polling MR itself, it registers as a consumer of the "STD_Fault_Messages" job in ICS. |
