A1 Tab
The A1 Consumer / Producer tabs are available when the A1 Interface is enabled on the RIC Node Emulator Configuration test case. The A1 interface is an open logical interface within O-RAN architecture between the Non-RT RIC functionality in the SMO and the Near-RT RIC functionality in the RAN.

Select the Number of Policy Objects. The Policy Object is the JSON representation of an A1 policy. A Policy Object contains a scope identifier and at least one policy statement (i.e one or more policy objective statements and/or one or more policy resource statements) Range : 1 to 8 Default : 1 Tcl Parameter: NonRtRicA1CsmrPolObjNum
Select to enter the Policy Type ID. Policy Type Identifier. Options : ORAN_QoSTarget_2.0.0 (QoS Target), ORAN_QoETarget_2.0.0 (QoE Target), For same Policy Type ID, multiple Policy Objects can be configured, but must not be duplicated with same Scope setting. Tcl Parameter: NonRtRicA1CsmrPolTypeId_1
Scope - The policy scope in a Policy Object contains a scope identifier that can be e.g. a ueId, a groupId or a cellId. The A1 -P Consumer maps the policyIds to scope identifiers in order to manage e.g. all policies applicable to a specific individual ueId. If there are several policies related to the same scope identifier, then several policy operations are made to manage that specific scope. At least one ID (UE, Group ID, etc) listed should be checked.The valid combination of IDs for a specific Policy Type ID is specified in spec O-RAN.WG2.A1TD-v04.00. Refer to 5.2.1.2.2 for allowed combinations of scope id for policy type ORAN_QoSTarget_2.0.0.
Original Policy / Updated Policy Per spec O-RAN.WG2.A1TD-v04.00.
Scope Per spec O-RAN.WG2.A1TD-v04.00.

Apply Test Data File to UE Policy Parameters
|
Select to enter A Test Data File for the UE Policy Parameters. The TDF is editable only when "UE ID" in "Original Policy" is checked. The parameters that are availbale in the TDF are based on the Policy Type ID selection. See also, Applying Test Data FileApplying Test Data File. See Test Data Files for further explanation and sample files. If a sample is not found for the specific TDF, you can obtain a sample file from your Technical Support representative. You may also use the following options to select an existing TDF or create/edit TDF-CSV files (TDF-CSV Editor). For most TDF Parameters used for Applying Parameters, each row in the file is the overridden value for a different “Session”, aka a different UE. But some TDFs are done in other dimensions, like Bearers, eNodeBs, Subscribers (2 per UE sometimes) or even Hosts, etc. Tooltips on the TDF Parameter:
Note that the “ID” is a unique ID. Please Provide the ID when reporting issues with a TDF. For TDFs that do not apply / override Parameters, but instead are just their own configuration or data or media files you won’t see TDF ID row details.
