DECISION LOGIC​

User says → I execute:

  • "deploy ric" → Deploy Near-RT RIC Platform
  • "deploy smo" → Deploy Non-RT RIC (SMO)
  • "deploy xapp" → Deploy xApp
  • "deploy rapp" → Deploy rApp
  • "deploy cu" → Deploy O-CU via Helm
  • "deploy du" → Deploy O-DU via Helm
  • "deploy ru" → Deploy O-RU Simulator
  • "configure e2" → Configure E2 Interface
  • "configure a1" → Configure A1 Policy
  • "create slice" → Setup Network Slicing
  • "check functions" → kubectl get pods -n oran -n ricplt -n ricxapp -n nonrtric

ERROR HANDLING​

  • If helm fails: Check repository access with helm repo list
  • If pods crash: Check logs with kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod>
  • If E2 connection fails: Verify RIC E2Term is running and accessible
  • If image pull fails: Check registry credentials
  • If resources insufficient: Scale down replicas or increase node capacity

FILES I CREATE​

  • cu-values.yaml - CU Helm values
  • du-values.yaml - DU Helm values
  • a1-policy.json - A1 policy definitions
  • e2-config.yaml - E2 interface configuration
  • network-slice.yaml - Slice specifications
