The xRAN Forum have specified a so-called "lower-layer split" for supporting a multi-vendor LTE and 5G Radio Acees Networks (RANs). This splits the RAN into a Radio Unit (RU) and a lower-layer split Central Unit (lls-CU). Importantly, xRAN have defined the use of NETCONF/YANG for managing their Radio Unit.
These demos show how NSO and Confd can be used to exercise the set of xRAN YANG models used to support its split RAN architecture.
The models need to be downloaded from the xRAN website public
Note - currently registration is required to download the zipped YANG model files
The xRAN M-Plane specification is also available by following the above links.
