261 Cell Up and Broadcast Procedure
262 -------------------------------
264 This section describes the cell-up procedure within O-DU High.
266 .. figure:: CellUpAndBroadcast.png
268 :alt: Cell Up and Broadcast Procedure
270 Figure 4 - O-DU High Cell Up and Broadcast Procedure
273 As seen in the Figure 4,
274 - If O1 interface is enabled, SMO sends cell configuration to DU APP. DU APP stores the configurations in its local database.
276 - If O1 interface is disabled, DU APP module uses static configuration.
278 - The DU APP module of O-DU High sends F1 Setup Request to O-CU. This message contains a list of cells that the O-DU High has been configured with.
280 - The O-CU responds with F1 Setup Response. This message contains a list of cells which must be activated.
282 - The O-DU High scans the list of cells received and sends corresponding cell configurations to 5G NR MAC.
284 - 5G NR MAC, in-turn configures the 5G NR SCH. It also configures the O-DU Low via the Lower MAC module.
286 - On receiving the cell config response, DU APP sends a gNB DU Config Update towards the O-CU. The O-CU responds with
287 gNB DU Config Update ACK towards the O-DU High.
289 - The DU APP now exchanges F1 Reset message with the O-CU to initialize the UE contexts.
291 - DU APP sends Cell Start Req towards 5G NR MAC. This message is translated by the Lower MAC into the FAPI message START.request towards the O-DU
294 - On receiving START.request, O-DU Low begins to send slot indications towards 5G NR MAC via the lower MAC.
295 The frequency of these slot indications is determined by the numerology(Mu) supported.
296 5G NR MAC forwards these slot indications to the 5G NR SCH and DU APP modules.
298 - When the first slot indication reaches the DU APP, cell is marked as up. If O1 is enabled, DU APP triggers an alarm to SMO to indicate the CELL is UP.
300 - The 5G NR SCH, keeps tracking the SSB and SIB1 ocassions on receiving regular slot indications.
301 On detecting the relevant ocassion, 5G NR SCH schedules SSB/SIB1 and forwards the DL Scheduling Information to 5G NR MAC.
303 - The 5G NR MAC mutiplexes the PDU and sends SSB/SIB1 packets towards the O-DU Low through the Lower MAC.
307 ---------------------
309 The O-DU High supports
311 - All physical channels - PBCH, PRACH, PDCCH, PDSCH, PUSCH, PUCCH
313 - All control logical channels - UL CCCH, DL CCCH, UL DCCH, DL DCCH
315 - All control transport channels - BCH, UL-SCH, DL-SCH, RACH
317 The above channels are used to achieve the below messages:
319 - Cell broadcast of System Information which includes SSB and SIB1.
325 - Random Access Response
331 - UE attach signalling flow
335 - Registraton Request
337 - NAS Authentication Request
339 - NAS Authentication Response
341 - NAS Security Mode Command
343 - NAS Security Mode Complete
345 - RRC Security Mode Command
347 - RRC Security Mode Complete
351 - Registraton Complete
353 - RRC Reconfiguration
355 - RRC Reconfiguration Complete

369 Closed Loop Automation Procedure
370 --------------------------------
372 This section describes the closed loop automation procedure within O-DU High.
374 .. figure:: CLA_call_flow.png
376 :alt: Closed Loop Automation Procedure
378 Figure 6 - O-DU High Closed Loop Automation Procedure
381 1. SMO commands ODU-High to bring the cell down via O1 interface.
383 2. DU-APP module of ODU-High sends GNB-DU configuration update message to O-CU. It contains the details of cell to be deleted. O-CU acknowledges this message by sending GNB-DU configuration update acknowledgment.
385 3. For each UE, DU APP sends UE Context Release Request to O-CU with information about the to be released. O-CU responds with UE Context Release request. It contains the RRC release message. O-DU high sends this RRC Release message to UE.
387 4. DU APP then sends UE delete request to MAC and RLC. Once a confirmation is received from both MAC and RLC, DU APP deletes UE from its own database as well.
389 5. Once all UEs are released, O-DU High sends STOP.Request to L1. L1 responds with stop indication.
391 6. Once cell has stopped, DU APP sends cell delete request to MAC. On receiving confimation from MAC, DU APP deletes cell information from its own database as well and sends UE Context Release Complete.
393 7. On receiving cell bring up command from SMO, the complete Cell bring up and UE attach procedure will be repeated (as explained in above sections)
395 O1 Netconf get-alarm list procedure
396 -----------------------------------
398 This section describes the *Health Status Retrieval* scenario of O-DU High health-check. It enables a northbound client(SMO) to retrieve the health of the O-DU High based on the last self-check performed. The alarm-list is provided as the response to the request via O1 Netconf interface.
401 .. figure:: ODU-O1-GetAlarmListFlow.jpg
403 :alt: Figure 7 O1 get alarm-list flow
405 Figure 7 - O1 get alarm-list flow
407 As seen in the Figure 7,
409 - On the cell state change from de-active to activate, DU APP module raises a cell up alarm message and sends it over the Unix socket using the Alarm Interface API.
411 - On other side a Unix socket server, running as a thread, in O1 module receives the cell up alarm message and it passes on the alarm information to the Alarm Manager.
413 - Alarm Manager stores the alarm data in a list.
415 - Whenever SMO/OAM requires the current alarm list, it sends a Netconf get request. The request is received by the Netopeer Server and a callback method, registered with the Session Handler, is invoked.
417 - The callback function fetches the alarm list from Alarm Manager and sends it back to the client (SMO/OAM) via Netconf interface.
419 Network Slicing procedure
420 --------------------------
422 This section describes the Network Slicing feature within O-DU High.
425 .. figure:: Network_Slicing.png
427 :alt: Network Slicing flow
429 Figure 8 - Network Slicing flow
431 As seen in the Figure 8,
433 - Once the Cell is UP, Slice Configuration received from O1 to O-DU is processed. DU APP forwards the Slice Configuration Request towards MAC which is further forwarded to Scheduler.
435 - Scheduler stores the Slice Configuration in DB and sends the Slice Configuration Response for each Slice to MAC and further towards DU APP. Slice Configuration Procedure completes.
437 - Once a UE attaches and PDU session is established then RLC will periodically calculate the Slice Performance Metrics(UL and DL Throughput) for slices configured during UE Context Setup/Modification procedure.
439 - RLC sends the Consolidated Slice Metrics to DU APP at every 60 sec duration. This is further forwarded towards SMO/Non-RT RIC.
441 - SMO/Non-RT RIC analyses these metrics and may optimize the slice configuration(RRM Policies) for dedicated slice. This is received at MAC and Scheduler as Slice Reconfiguration Request from DU APP.
443 - Scheduler updates the received Slice Configuration in its DB and sends back the Slice Reconfiguration Response to MAC and further MAC forwards it to DU APP. Scheduler applies the optimized RRM policies for the dedicated slice.
445 Idle Mode Paging procedure
446 --------------------------
448 This section describes the Idle Mode Paging procedure within O-DU High.
451 .. figure:: IDLE_mode_Paging.jpg
453 :alt: Idle Mode Paging flow
455 Figure 9 - Idle Mode Paging flow
457 As seen in the Figure 9,
459 - When a Paging is received from O-CU and the Cell to be Paged is UP then DU APP will calculate Paging Frame(PF) and i_s(Index of Paging Ocassion/Slot) and groups the Paging of UEs falling on same PF/SFN together and stores in its Cell's Databse.
461 - When a Slot Indication for SFN is received then DU APP extracts the Paging of all UEs whose PF is ahead by PAGING_DELTA and builds Paging RRC PDU. DU APP sends the same via DL PCCH Indication to MAC.
463 - MAC forwards to SCH as PAGING INDICATION.
465 - SCH stores the Page Message in its DB and when the SLOT_INDICATION for that SFN arrives, SCH performs scheduling and resource allocation for PDCCH (alongwith DCI 1_0 format) and PDSCH channels and sends to MAC through DL PAGING ALLOCATION message.
467 - MAC forwards the PAGE to PHY in TX_Data.Request.
469 Inter-DU Handover within O-CU
470 ------------------------------
472 This section describes the handling of inter-DU handover of a UE within O-DU High.
474 .. figure:: Inter_DU_Handover_Within_OCU.png
476 :alt: Inter-DU Handover withing O-CU
478 Figure 10 - Inter_DU Handover call flow
480 Assumption: UE is RRC connected with DU and PDU data session is active.
482 - The UE sends Measurement Report message to the source O-DU. This message is sent from O-DU to O-CU in the UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER message over F1AP interface.
484 - Based on UE Measurement Report, O-CU makes a handover decision to another cell belonging to the target O-DU.
486 - The O-CU sends a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to source O-DU to query the latest configuration.
488 - The DU APP in source O-DU responds with a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE message that includes latest full configuration information.
490 - The O-CU sends a UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to the target O-DU to create an UE context and setup one or more data bearers. The UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message includes Hand-overPreparationInformation. At target O-DU, DU APP sends UE Create Request to MAC and RLC layers to create the UE context with radio resources and receives UE Create Response from the respective protocol layers.
492 - The target O-DU responds with a UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message if the target O-DU can admit resources for the handover.
494 - The O-CU sends a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to the source O-DU, which includes RRCReconfiguration message towards the UE. The O-CU also indicates the source O-DU to stop the data transmission for the UE.
496 - The source O-DU forwards the received RRCReconfiguration message to the UE and then sends the UE Reconfiguration Request to MAC/Scheduler and RLC layer and get the UE Reconfiguration Response from the respective protocol layers.
498 - The source O-DU responds to the O-CU with UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE message.
500 - UE triggers Random Access procedure at the target O-DU. This is a contention free random access if UE was informed about its dedicated RACH resources in RRC Reconfiguration message.
502 - Once Random Access procedure with target O-DU is complete, the UE responds to the target O-DU with a RRCReconfigurationComplete message.
504 - The target O-DU sends UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER message to O-CU to convey the received RRCReconfigurationComplete message.
506 - The downlink and uplink data packets are sent to/from the UE through the target O-DU.
508 - The O-CU sends UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to the source O-DU.
510 - The source O-DU sends UE DELETE REQUEST to MAC/RLC layers to release the UE context and receives UE DELETE RESPONSE message.
512 - The source O-DU responds to O-CU with UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMPLETE message.
514 Inter-CU Handover (Xn-Based)
515 ------------------------------
517 This section describes the handling of inter-CU handover of a UE over Xn interface.
519 .. figure:: Xn_Based_Inter_CU_Handover.png
521 :alt: Xn-Based Inter-CU Handover
523 Figure 11 - Xn-Based Inter-CU Handover call flow
527 - Source GNB : GNB to which UE is connected and will be handed over from .
528 - Source GNB DU : O-DU in source GNB
529 - Source GNB CU : O-CU in source GNB
530 - Target GNB : GNB to which UE will be handed over to.
531 - Target GNB DU : O-DU in target GNB
532 - Target GNB CU : O-CU in target GNB
533 - Xn Inteface : Interface between Source GNB CU and Target GNB CU
534 - UE : UE in handover from source GNB to target GNB
538 - Xn setup is established between the two GNB
539 - UE is RRC connected with DU
540 - PDU data session is active.
544 - UE sends Measurement Report message to source GNB. This message is sent from O-DU to O-CU in the UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER message over F1AP interface.
546 - Based on UE Measurement Report, O-CU makes handover decision to a cell belonging to another GNB. Hereafter, this GNB will be referred to as target GNB.
548 - Before initiating the handover procedure, source GNB CU sends a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to source GNB DU to query the latest configurations.
550 - The source GNB DU responds with UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE message that includes latest full configuration information.
552 - To start the handover, source GNB CU sends HANDOVER REQUEST to target GNB CU with UE configuration received from source GNB DU.
554 - Target GNB CU sends a UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to target GNB DU to create a UE context and setup one or more data bearers. The UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message includes Hand-overPreparationInformation. At DU, DU APP sends UE Create Request to MAC and RLC layers to create the UE context with radio resources and receives UE Create Response from the respective protocol layers.
556 - The target GNB DU responds with UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message if it can admit resources for the handover.
558 - Consequetively, target GNB CU sends HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message to source GNB CU to proceed with handover.
560 - Now source GNB CU sends UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to source GNB DU, which includes RRCReconfiguration message towards the UE. The CU also indicates the DU to stop the data transmission for the UE.
562 - Source GNB DU forwards received RRCReconfiguration message to the UE and then sends DOWNLINK DATA DELIVERY STATUS message to CU to inform about successful delivery of message to UE.
564 - Source GNB DU also sends UE Reconfiguration Request to MAC/Scheduler and RLC layers to stop data scheduling as requested by CU. Once all layers have responded with UE reconfiguration response, source GNB DU send UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE message to source GNB CU.
566 - Using the information received in RRC Reconfiguration message, UE triggers Random Access procedure towards target GNB DU. This is a contention free random access if UE receives dedicated RACH resources information in RRC Reconfiguration message.
568 - Once Random Access procedure with target GNB is complete, UE responds to target GNB DU with a RRCReconfigurationComplete message.
570 - The target GNB DU sends UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER message to CU to convey the received RRCReconfigurationComplete message. This completes the UE attach to target GNB.
572 - The downlink and uplink data packets are now sent to/from the UE through target GNB.
574 - Once UE is successfully handed over to target GNB, its CU sends UE CONTEXT RELEASE message to source GNB CU.
576 - Hence, source GNB CU sends UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to the source GNB DU.
578 - DU releases UE context at all layers and responds to source GNB CU with UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMPLETE message.
580 Discontinuous reception (DRX)
581 -----------------------------
583 This section describes the Discontinuous reception (DRX) feature within O-DU High.
586 .. figure:: Discontinuous_reception.PNG
588 :alt: Discontinuous reception flow
590 Figure 12 - Discontinuous reception flow
592 - The connected mode DRX is used to improve UE's battery power consumption. This allows UE to be active for a certain amount of time to monitor PDCCH. UE shall become active or inactive based on the DRX timers.
594 - When UE is created at O-DU during RRC connection setup procedure, DU APP forwards the default DRX configurationĀ to MAC, who then passes it to SCH as part of UE configuration request. SCH stores these configuration and will use it to calculate the start time and expiry time of various DRX timers. But these timers will only start after UE is RRC connected.
596 - O-DU may receive modified DRX-configuration in UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST from O-CU. DU APP forwards it to MAC who forwards it to SCH as part of UE reconfiguration request. In this case, SCH will stop all DRX timers, re-calculate the start time and expiry time of various timers based on updated configuration and restart the drx-onDurationTimer.
598 - Along with long cycle, DRX in O-DU high also supports short cycle which is enabled if short cycle configuration is recived in UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST.
600 - DRX timers supported in ODU-High are drx-onDurationTimer, drx-InactivityTimer, drx-ShortCycleTimer, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL and drx-RetransmissionTimerUL.
602 - UE is active when any of the following timers is running: drx-onDurationTimer, drx-InactivityTimer, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL or drx-RetransmissionTimerUL, else the UE is considered as inactive.
604 - Initially, drx-onDurationTimer is started based on long cycle length. While drx-onDurationTimer or drx-InactivityTimer are running, UE becomes active to monitor PDCCH and send data in UL/DL. When drx-InactivityTimer expires, drx-ShortCycleTimer starts. While drx-ShortCycleTimer is running, drx-onDurationTimer is started based on short cycle length. Once drx-ShortCycleTimer expires, long cycle length is used again. Refer to figure 12 below for detailed working of these timers.
606 .. figure:: Drx_Onduration_Inactive_ShortCycle_Timer.png
608 :alt: onDurationTimer,InactivityTimer,ShortCycleTimer flow
610 Figure 13 - onDurationTimer,InactivityTimer,ShortCycleTimer flow
612 - If HARQ is received/sent, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL or drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL is started. On its expiry drx-RetransmissionTimerDL or drx-RetransmissionTimerUL will start. While it is running, UE becomes active for retransmission of data in DL/UL. Refer to figure 13 and 14 below for detailed working of these timers.
614 .. figure:: Drx_Dl_Harq_Retransmission_Timer.png
616 :alt: HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, RetransmissionTimerDL flow

622 :alt: HARQ-RTT-TimerUL, RetransmissionTimerUL flow
624 Figure 15 - UL Harq Retransmission Timers flow
626 - If O-DU receives DRX configuration release indicator IE as a part of UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST from O-CU, DU APP will forward this indicator to MAC which forwards it to SCH as part of UE reconfiguration request. In this case SCH stops all DRX timers, deletes DRX configuration and marks UE as active by default.
632 O-DU High communicates with Near RT RIC on the E2 interface using various Global Procedures and Near-RT RIC Functional Procedures.
633 The implementation of these procedures are strictly compliant to O-RAN.WG3.E2GAP-R003-v03.00, O-RAN.WG3.E2AP-R003-v03.00.
