Workgroup Charter

Work Group 10 has full responsibility for the O1 interface OAM specifications for O-RAN, including unified O1 interface operation and notification, and for creating a detailed OAM architecture and requirements consistent with the overall OAM architecture described in the WG1 O-RAN Architecture document. This includes a set of information models/data models for O-RAN.

Workgroup Scope

  1. Develop O-RAN O1 OAM Information and data models, using industry developed baselines where available, and adding further material as needed by O-RAN’s architecture and interfaces

  2. Develop O1 interface specifications to O-RAN elements consistent with the principles outlined in O-RAN whitepaper and elaborated in Architecture Description Document.

  3. Develop a detailed OAM architecture consistent with the Architecture Description Document, including key management interfaces and deployment options: Develop the role of the O1 interface in Control and Management loops of O-RAN architecture, in conjunction with other Work Groups

  4. Provide coordinated definition and collection of O1 KPIs and PM, FM across all WGs

The O-RAN Open Source Focus Group (OSFG) is a Focus Group under O-RAN TSC (Technical Steering Committee). OSFG facilitates collaboration between open-source communities and the O-RAN ALLIANCE with the goal of accelerating the development of robust specifications and adoption of O-RAN in the marketplace.

In order to accomplish this, OSFG will:

  1. Define open-source strategies for the O-RAN ALLIANCE
  2. Engage directly with open-source communities to help align open-source implementations with current as well as emerging O-RAN architecture and specifications
  3. Facilitate feedback from open-source communities to O-RAN ALLIANCE WGs/FGs regarding published and draft specifications
  4. Motivate open-source awareness within O-RAN ALLIANCE WGs/FGs and encourage open-source community engagement
  5. Encourage open-source communities to implement O-RAN ALLIANCE use cases
