O-RAN M-plane implementation

Prerequisites

In order to use this M-plane project, libyang and libnetconf2 libraries should exist.

You can use the provided scripts to compile these libraries depending on the targeted version:

./build_deps_v1.sh
./build_deps_v2.sh

The libraries are built in /opt/mplane-v1 or /opt/mplane-v2 path.

0. Modify path for predefined CU-plane configuration xml file

vi config-mplane.c #line 45

1. Build V1

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DMPLANE_PATH=/opt/mplane-v1 -DMPLANE_VERSION=V1 ..
make

2. Build V2

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DMPLANE_PATH=/opt/mplane-v2 -DMPLANE_VERSION=V2 ..
make

3. Run the client

./my_client <ru-ip-address> ...

If no <ru-ip-address> specified, nc_listen_ssh() command is used instead of nc_connect_ssh().

RU-controller takes the following steps:

1. Connect to the RUs
2. Retreive operational datastore via RPC
3. Load the RU supported yang models
4. Extract RU delay profile
5. Check the RU PTP status. If not synced, subscription to synchronization-state-change
6. Configure CU-plane via RPC
7. Validate the candidate datastore via RPC
8. Commit the candidate datastore via RPC
9. Disconnect from the RUs

At this stage, RUs are well configured and ready for testing.
