Option 1: RAN NSSMF shall be responsible for entire RAN subnet, including RAN NFs, FH and MH. All 3 NSSMFs are within ONAP.

| 1. | Service Design | 1a. Design of CST, and necessary templates for 1 type of service (e.g., eMBB): NST, NSST for RAN, RAN NF, Core & TN, Service Profile and Slice Profiles |

| 2. | Design of necessary templates for 2nd type of service (e.g., mMTC): NST, NSST for RAN, RAN NF, Core & TN, Service Profile and Slice Profiles |

| 3. | Service instantiation | See below table for (a) to (g) |
| Assumption is manual intervention does not override ONAP selection | ||||||||
| 4 | Service instantiation with manual intervention | For scenario (c) in below table, operator shall override via NSMF portal in UUI the selection of reusable NSI and indicate creation of new NSI. | (c) for service instantiation should work first |
| ||||||||
| 5 | Service activation | Activate a service - this should result in activation |
| of new NSI and associated new NSSIs. | (a) or (b) for service instantiation should work first. |
| ||||||||
| 6 | Activate a service - this should result in activation of S-NSSAI, and the activate command should pass to all the NSSMFs | (c) for service instantiation should work first |
| |||||||
| 7 | Service deactivation | Dectivate a service - this should result in deactivation of new NSI and associated new NSSIs. | Test case 5 should be completed |
| ||||||
| 8 | Dectivate a service - this should result in deactivation of S-NSSAI, and the deactivate command should pass to all the NSSMFs | Test case 6 should be completed |
| |||||||
| 9 | Service termination | Terminate a service - this should terminate NSI and all associated NSSIs |
| |||||||
| 10 | Terminate a service - this should terminate NSI but terminate only | |||||||||

| 12 | Terminate a service - this shouldn't terminate NSI or its associated NSSIs | |||||||||

Instantiation - Should involve call to NSMF, calls to NSSMFs (allocate or modifyNSSI API calls), and then SB calls/actions on NSSI constituents. In case of RAN NSSI, it should involve calls to TN (for FH and MH) and RAN NF NSSI creation/update.

| d | 1 | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters Sharing allowed | New | Reuse | New | New |
| Pre-requisite: There is an existing RAN NSSI that is suitable and can be reused. This requires either providing the service parameters in such a way RAN NSSI is reused, or creating a suitable and shareable RAN NSSI upfront. | |||||||
| e | 1 | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters Sharing allowed | New | New | Reuse | New |
| Pre-requisite: There is an existing Core NSSI that is suitable and can be reused. This requires either providing the service parameters in such a way Core NSSI is reused, or creating a suitable and shareable Core NSSI upfront. | |||||||
| f | 2 | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters Sharing allowed | New | New | Reuse | New |
| Pre-requisite: There is an existing RAN & Core NSSI that is suitable and can be reused. This requires either providing the service parameters in such a way RAN & Core NSSI are reused, or creating suitable and shareable RAN & Core NSSIs. | |||||||
| g | 2 | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters. with coverageArea more than what is already supported in a suitable existing and shareable NSI Sharing allowed | New | New | New | New |
| Pre-requisite: There should be a suitable existing NSI that is shareable, but whose coverageArea is smaller or does not have full overlap with the new service request. |
