Roadmap

High-level Roadmap for the Aether OnRamp project.

Infrastructure Improvements

• Migrate integration tests running on Jenkins to JJB and stored on GitHub.

Near-term Blueprints

Configuration options that OnRamp should be able to support. These are feature previously been demonstrated in other settings, but they need to be packaged for release as OnRamp blueprints.

• Configure with a second (and third) base station.
• Configure with other simulators (e.g., UERANSIM).
• Configure with UPF throughput optimizations.
• Configure with example edge app to demo local breakout.
• Configure with SR-IOV enabled.
• Configure with Monitoring Alerts.
• Configure with secure login using Keycloak.
• Configure with ElasticStack (collect and display logs).

Long-term Goals

Towards the goal of an end-to-end software-defined 5G network.

• Configure with multiple SD-Core Control Planes.
• Configure with multiple sites under centralized control.
• Expand RAN options, especially ones that utilize SD-RAN:
  • srsRAN
  • Rearchitected RANSIM
  • 5G OAI with USRP
  • nFAPI Emulator
  • ...
