Feature and bug closer:

• Use the same common source, build, and CI submodules for all the network functions. The list below is in order of priority
  • AMF
  • SMF (on-going MR oai-cn5g-smf!323 (merged), needs to be merged)
  • UPF
  • NRF
  • UDR
  • UDM
  • AUSF
  • PCF (on-going MR oai-cn5g-pcf!71 (merged) on PCF)
  • LMF
  • NSSF
• UPF:
  • UPF interoperability with multiple provider SMF (On-going MR oai-cn5g-upf!107 (merged) )
  • Add support for usage reporting in eBPF UPF (new MR will be made once 107 is finished)
  • Solve the DISK issues with the long-running simple switch UPF
• NWDAF
  • Update the NWDAF to use the usage reporting rules via SMF for eBPF UPF rather than VPP UPF
• Voice call support: Test SIP server (Kamailio) with OAI core network
• All NFs:
  • Update the 3rd party dependencies to their respective new release (MR oai-cn5g-common-build!16)
  • Update the base image of all the network functions to Ubuntu 24
    • Create a single base image for all NFs (this should reside in the common-build folder). Two step docker build, base and builder+target
    • All NFs should use the same base image but different target images
  • Non-containerized build of all network functions
  • Use of c-cache for all network functions
  • All-in-one Debian/RPM package to deploy basic OAI core with LMF (less important)
• AMF/SMF
  • UEs going out-of-coverage and back: seamless recovery of the user-plane (oai-cn5g-amf!437 (merged))
  • Support for Paging
• SMF/UPF:
  • Update of PFCP to release 17
• UDR:
  • Add support for SQLite database
• CI
  • Reduce the size of the logs of Ethernet PDU session, replace tcpdump with tshark

User Story: Closed QoS Loop control via AF and NEF (TODO)

• NEF:
  • Northbound API to be exposed for an Application function to check the existing PCF rules
  • Southbound API to dynamically change the PCF rules
• PCF:
  • Dynamically update the PCF rules and notify SMF of the change
• SMF:
  • Use the notification received from PCF for a change in policies
