1. RC Subscription Delete Request

1.1 RcXappSubscriptionDeleteResponsePublisherPubData

The RcXappSubscriptionDeleteResponsePublisherPubData handles the response from the E2 Node when an RC (Radio Connection) subscription deletion request is processed.

This response contains details indicating whether the subscription was successfully deleted, or if any errors occurred during the deletion process.

It ensures that the RIC and the xApp maintain synchronization regarding the status of RC subscription deletions, which is critical for managing radio connections and resources effectively.

1.2 Examples

Info

To receive a RC Subscription Delete response, the following NATS subject must be used:

e2-t.E2SM-RANCTL-SUBSCRIPTION-DELETE-RESP
This subject is responsible for receiving the RC subscription response message.

The following Python example demonstrates how to receive a RC subscription delete response.

Example

Receive RC Subscription Delete response:

# Add Accelleran xapp library
from xapp_lib import xapp_lib
# Add protobuf definitions
from xapp_lib.proto_pb2.accelleran.e2 import genXappRc_pb2
# Add function to serialize json dict in protobuf
from google.protobuf.json_format import ParseDict

def e2sm_rc_subscription_delete_resp(encoded_data):
    data = genXappRc_pb2.RcXappSubscriptionDeleteResponsePublisherPubData()
    data.ParseFromString(encoded_data)
    return data.BaseSubscriptionDeleteResponseData

msgList = [
    ("E2SM-RC-SUBSCRIPTION-DELETE-RESP", e2sm_rc_subscription_delete_resp),
]

def get_subject_list(req_id, ins_id):
    subjects = []
    for msg in msgList:
        subjects.append(
            "e2-t."
            + msg[0]
            + ".RIC_REQUESTOR="
            + str(req_id)
            + ".RIC_INSTANCE="
            + str(ins_id)
        )
    return subjects

def decoder(subject, encoded_data):
    item = [item for item in msgList if item[0] == subject and item[1] != None]
    if not item:
        logging.error(f"Subject not supported: {subject}. Cannot decode the message.")
        return None
    return dict(item)[subject](encoded_data)

def extract_subject(input_string):
    components = input_string.split(".")
    for component in components:
        for subject, _ in msgList:
            if subject in component:
                return subject
    return None

def main():

    ### Use xApp Builder to create the xApp
    builder = xapp_lib.XAppBuilder("../..", absolute=False)
    builder.metadata("core/xapp_metadata.json")
    builder.endpoints("config/xapp_endpoints.json")
    builder.config("config/xapp_config.json")
    builder.readme("README.md")
    xapp = builder.build()

    # Get xApp request id
    req_id = xapp.id
    # Get xApp instance id
    node_a_ins_id = xapp.transaction_id_gen.get()

    # Listen for E2 RC Subscription Delete responses
    e2_node_a_subjects = get_subject_list(req_id, node_a_ins_id)
    xapp.nats(endpoint="NATS_URL_5G").subscribe(e2_node_a_subjects)

    # Reception of E2 RC subscription delete response
    for _ in range(10):
        data = xapp.nats().recv_data()
        subject = extract_subject(data[0])
        decoded_resp = decoder(subject, data[1])
        logging.info("Received message: {data}".format(data=decoded_resp))
