High-level Roadmap for the Aether OnRamp project.

Stage 1: Get Started

An initial version of this exists. Remaining tasks include:

  • Specify requirements for BYO-Kubernetes scenarios.

Stage 2: GitOps

An initial version of this exists. Remaining tasks include:

Stage 3: Physical Base Stations

AiaB already supports 4G small cells, which will remain an option, but 5G will be the focus going forward. A working 5G system now exists in OnRamp, but we still need to do the following:

  • Document the value.yaml files
  • Bring ROC Models file and SD-Core value file in sync
  • Better describe the "SIM burning" process
  • Add a second (and third) base station
  • Continuously monitor from Raspberry Pi + Dongle

Stage 4: Scale Cluster

Grow the cluster from a single server to multiple servers. Describe the process for deploying additional edge services.

Stage 5: Scale SD-Core

Spin up multiple Slices and UPF instances. The AiaB-UERANSIM project by Tiago Barros (https://github.com/dot-1q/AiaB-UERANSIM) documents one way to do this, which provides a good starting point.

Stage 6: Generalize Network Config

Factor out how the network is configured, making it easier to support different options. Specific tasks include:

  • Make SR-IOV one (of possibly many) options.
  • Explain the set of alternatives to be supported.
  • Specify requirements for any additional options.

Stage 7: Incorporate SD-RAN

  • Prune options (focus on OAI Hardware & RAN Sim)
  • Run on RKE2.0 (rather than Kubespray)
  • Integrate with SD-Core (rather than OMEC)
