High-level Roadmap for the Aether OnRamp project.

Infrastructure Improvements

General improvements to the DevOps tooling/infrastructure that supports Aether.

• Migrate integration tests to JJB and stored on GitHub.
• Migrate CI jobs to GitHub Actions.

Near-term Blueprints

Configuration options that OnRamp should be able to support. These features have previously been demonstrated in other settings, but 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
  • ...
