 281 Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
 282 -----------------------------------------
 283
 284 System Limitations
 285 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 286 - Current code contains support for below configuration:
 287
 288    Duplex mode = FDD
 289
 290    Freuency Range = FR 1
 291
 292    numerology = 0
 293
 294    bandwidth = 20 MHz
 295
 296    DL/UL Modulation = QPSK
 297
 298    single HARQ transmission
 299
 300    single UE.
 301
 302 - This release implements a basic scheduler with fixed scheduling for single UE.
 303
 304 - Cell broadcast is for SSB and SIB1 only.
 305
 306 - FAPI files not in-line with SCF FAPI 1.0.5.
 307   O-DU High currently compatible with FAPI files provided by Intel.
 308
 309 - Implementation of F1 reset is limited to intializing UE contexts.
 310
 311 - E2 interface is limited to Traffic Steering Usecase.
 312
 313 - Forming of RIC event trigger definition, RIC indication header and RIC indication message is unclear in the E2AP draft spec versions. Therefore, implementation does not contain accurate values. Contents of RIC indication message are mocked and triggered just once.
 314
 315 - On the F1-U interface, UE, RB and tunnel configurations are static.
 316
 317 - System runs on preconfigured values due to absence of CM support on O1 interface.
 318
 319 - O-DU High has not been integrated with O-CU.
 320
 321 - O-DU High O1 module has not been integrated with SMO/OAM so a Netconf CLI client is used to demo the get alarm-list flow

 332 Workarounds
 333 ^^^^^^^^^^^
 334
 335 O-DU High uses FAPI interface files provided by Intel and therefore, not completely in-line with SCF FAPI 1.0.5.
