Monitor O-RAN SM

Overview

A O-RAN standarized service models monitoring xApp is designed to collect the measurement data from the RAN functions in E2-Nodes via -RAN standarized SMs (e.g., KPM SMs). It prints out the one way latency of indication message, which is sent from E2-Node to xApp. It includes the following stages:

• Init: initializes xApp based on configuration to set up the E42 connection with NearRT-RIC
• Report Service: subscribes RAN functions to each E2-Node based on the configured service model and action definitions
• xApp Logic: prints out expected measurement data and one way latency of indication message and
• Exit: unsubscribes and terminates xApp

Init - Step 2 to 6

• Used Functions
  • init()
  • get_oran_sm_conf()
  • conn_e2_nodes()

---

Report Service - Step 7 to 13

• Used Function
  • report_{SM-NAME}_sm()
    • report_kpm_sm()

---

xApp Logic - Step 14

• Used Function
  • {SM-NAME}Callback()
    • KPMCallback()

Note: Every indication message received by KPMCallback() is stored according to the swig_kpm_ind_data_t structure. To fully decode the contents of the message, it's essential to examine this structure.

Exit - Step 15 to 20

• Used functions
  • rm_report_{SM-NAME]_sm()
    • rm_report_kpm_sm()
  • try_stop()
