Hello Mahesh,

I heard many discussions about this, but I can’t supply you with a specific 
example just now. I will ask if my colleagues working in ORAN can help.

Regards Balazs

Hi Balazs,

 

Do you have an example of where O-RAN is trying to deviate a 3GPP model? I 
would agree that for O-RAN to deviate a model would be a problem, and that it 
should be left to vendors to decide if they want to deviate the 3GPP model.

Hello,

In connection to the draft  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01> 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01 I propose to 
send a liaison statement from IETF Netmod to ORAN.

 

The issue: 3GPP is standardizing a good number of YANG modules as part of the 
3gpp TS 28.541 and 28.623 ( 
<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=f08a6b09-af11524a-f08a2b92-861fcb972bfc-d3713e17a0e10674&q=1&e=c0b7de7e-d7ca-4671-b5cc-cecfc1b188d5&u=https%3A%2F%2Fforge.3gpp.org%2Frep%2Fsa5%2FMnS%2Ftree%2FRel17-draft%2Fyang-models>
 https://forge.3gpp.org/rep/sa5/MnS/tree/Rel17-draft/yang-models). 

ORAN plans to re-use this models, but possibly refine them in some ways. They 
are considering using deviations to do this. 

E.g. change config=true schemas node to config=false. This creates problems as 
documented in  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01%23section-5.8.1>
 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01#section-5.8.1

 

-   Deviations by an SDO (standard defining organization) prevent 
implementations from reporting their own deviations for the same nodes.

-   Deviations by an SDO prevent implementations from conforming to the 
standards specified by both SDOs.

 

To avoid these problems I propose to send the following text to ORAN:

 

“IETF NETMOD working group requests ORAN to avoid using deviations as part of 
its specification. As documented in  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01%23section-5.8.1>
 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01#section-5.8.1 
the usage of deviations would prevent:

*       Vendors to implement their own deviations for the same YANG schema nodes
*       Vendors to claim conformance to both ORAN and 3GPP specifications which 
are in some cases used as a base for the ORAN YANG models

Note: These problems with deviations exists even if YANG modules are used 
without using YANG packages.

Regards Balazs
