The Network Data Analytics Function or "NWDAF defined in 3GPP TS 29.520 incorporates standard interfaces from the service-based architecture to collect data by subscription or request model from other network functions and similar procedures. This is to deliver analytics functions in the network for automation or reporting, solving major custom interface or format challenges." (source tmforum.org) In this video, we will explain the technical details behind what NWDAF (Rel 17) is. Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.

The latest v2.1 release of the Aarna Networks Multi-Cluster Orchestration Platform (AMCOP) can now be deployed on a Kubernetes cluster using Operator. As a reminder, AMCOP performs orchestration, management, and automation of cloud-native 5G network services and edge computing applications. These new capabilities dramatically increase the environments AMCOP can run on, and it is now extremely easy to install AMCOP in just a few minutes. In this technical meetup, we will talk about what's new in AMCOP 2.1 and then show a demo of how to install it using a Kubernetes Operator. Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.

This technical meetup will demonstrate the deployment of Free5GC using the Aarna Networks Multi-Cluster Orchestration Platform (AMCOP), along with our experiences and challenges observed. Free5GC is open source 5G core software and AMCOP is our open-source platform for orchestration, lifecycle management, and closed-loop automation of cloud-native 5G network services and edge computing applications. We will also talk about the roadmap for additional capabilities in AMCOP and new features for this demo. Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.

The Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is defined by standard bodies to perform machine learning prediction on data collected from the 5G Core. The demo will include the orchestration of the NWDAF onto edge clusters, followed by the NWDAF registration procedure with the open-source Free5GC NRF. The NWDAF provides CPU predictions with the help of the CPU prediction ML model microservice. Free 5GC NRF: https://github.com/free5gc/nrf Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.

Most practical deployments of edge infrastructure and applications are hybrid in nature, where an application deployed at the edge often needs to access services residing in the core cloud. In addition, there is a need for efficient and performant interconnection between edge and cloud as well as between the distributed edges proximal to end-users. However, each individual service domain (e.g. edge, cloud, network fabric) often present their own specific APIs and/or other provisioning methods (e.g. CLI), thus making end-to-end deployment challenging both in complexity and in time. Therefore a multi-domain orchestration solution is required to handle edge, cloud, and interconnection in a uniform and consistent manner. Terraform is rapidly emerging as a common way to orchestrate and configure services rather than having to deal with APIs for each different domain: public or private cloud, edge, and interconnection. In this presentation and hands-on demo, Equinix and Aarna Networks will show how an end-to-end application can be deployed, configured, and interconnected between the edge and core clouds by using ONAP/CDS orchestration in combination with Terraform.

With FTTx rollouts progressing, there is an increasing need to manage 10s or 100s of thousands of OLT switches. CDS provides an elegant solution to manage the configuration of these OLT switches. In this talk and hands-on demo, we will discuss the CDS Blueprint Archive we developed to solve this issue. After watching this presentation, you will be able to understand how to use CDS to configure PNFs using Telnet. Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.

ONAP provides comprehensive E2E network slicing management across RAN, transport, and core domains. In a continuation of our previous meetup, we will do a deep dive discussion of how we wrote an external NSSMF to integrate with the Capgemini Engineering 5G Core and Kaloom UPF. We will go through the architecture and relevant ladder diagrams. After attending this technical meetup, attendees will learn how to integrate ONAP's network slicing with their 5G network functions using inbuilt NSSMF or by writing a new NSSMF.

ONAP provides comprehensive end-to-end network slicing management across RAN, transport, and core domains. However, most of the work has been done with simulators. In this first public demo with commercial network functions, we will discuss how ONAP is being used for 5G core slicing along with the Altran 5G Core and Kaloom User Plane Function (UPF). This technical meetup will include a description of the external NSSMF written to accomplish this integration and a hands-on demo. Aarna Networks is an open-source software company.
