ORAN 5G FAPI TM Release Notes
=============================

Version oran_release_bronze_v1.0, May 2020
------------------------------------------
* First release of the 5G FAPI TM to ORAN in support of the Bronze Release
* This version supports 5G only
* PARAM.config and PARAM.resp are not supported
* ERROR.ind relies on the L1 support for error detection as the 5G FAPI TM \
  only enforces security checks and |br|
  integrity checks to avoid DOS attacks but \
  it doesn't perform full validation of the input parameters for compliance to
  the standard
* Deviations from the March version of the SCF 5G FAPI document have been \
  implemented in order to deal with |br|
  limitations and ommisions found in the
  current SCF document, these differences are being provided to the SCF for
  the next document update. The 5G FAPI implementation is defined in the file
  fapi_interface.h
* Multi-user MIMO, Beamforming, Precoding and URLLC are not supported in the
  current implementation as they |br|
  require additional alignment between the SCF
  P19 and the ORAN
* The option for the MAC layer doing the full generation of the PBCH payload is not supported in this release and it will be added in the maintainance release cycle.
