- O-RAN
- Martin Skorupski gave an introduction in OIMT on the O-RAN work on 7/29.
- There is the O-RAN WG-10, which is for operations and maintenance, basically is FCAPS, interfaces, information modeling, and data modeling.
- They are using Papyrus in the modeling of topology, alarm, spec, etc., which are closely related to the OIMT & TAPI works. The group has decided to use the IISOMI guidelines for modeling - UML guidelines, UML-YANG guidelines. One of the modeling languages used is YANG. So, the group is also interested in UML-YANG mapping. Basically it looks at the works in IISOMI and OIMT.
- Recently TAPI was introduced into O-RAN and WG-10 to check if the TAPI topology could be used as an umbrella model for all the entities which are in the typical RAN network, including not only the RAN elments but also the transport elements for mobile core network for 3GPP.
