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

| 3 | Service instantiation | See below table for (a) to (g) | Deepika S | COMPLETED | Assumption is manual intervention does not override ONAP selection | ||

| 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. | DEFERRED | |||
| 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 | DEFERRED | ||||

| 9 | Service termination | Terminate a service - this should terminate NSI and ALL associated NSSIs. Note: The proper configuration updates should be sent to the RAN NFs. | At least 1 service instantiation test case should be completed | IN PROGRESS | CN NSSMF - deallocateNSSI WF needs to be fixed | ||
| 10 | Terminate a service - this should terminate NSI but terminate only RAN NSSI and TN BH NSSI, and not Core NSSI (Assumption: RAN NSSI terminated => RAN NF NSSI terminated, TN FH and MH NSSIs terminated) Note: The proper configuration updates should be sent to the RAN and Core NFs, and to TN NSSMF (for FH and MH NSSIs, using deallocateNSSI API). | At least 1 service instantiation test case involving reuse should be completed | COMPLETED | This can happen when only 1 Service Profile is linked to NSI and 1 Slice Profile each is linked to RAN & TN BH NSSIs, but > 1 Slice Profile is linked to Core NSSI. | |||

| 15 | Intelligent Slicing | Initiate PM data generation from RAN and show ML-based Closed Loop action triggered by ONAP, and updates done in RAN (using RAN-Sim) | Niranjana Y | COMPLETED |
Service Instantiation scenarios (test case 3 above)
Notes:
- 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.
- TN NSSMF supports reuse of TN NSSI only when the NSI is reused. This is because, the interface from SO (TN NSSMF) to OOF for TN NSSI selection is not yet implemented.
- Similarly deallocateNSSI call to TN NSSI shall result in TN NSSI being terminated.
| S.No. | Priority | Input service | NSI | RAN NSSI | Core NSSI | TN BH NSSI | Tester | Status | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | 1 | eMBB like service parameters No sharing | New | New | New | New | COMPLETED | ||
| b | 1 | eMBB like service parameters Sharing allowed | New | New | New | New | COMPLETED | Pre-requisite: There is no existing shareable suitable NSI or NSSIs | |
| c | 1 | eMBB like service parameters Sharing allowed | Reuse | X | X | X | COMPLETED | X = don't care as automatically all NSSIs are reused | |
| d | 1 | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters Sharing allowed | New | Reuse | New | New | COMPLETED | 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 | COMPLETED | 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 | Reuse | Reuse | New | COMPLETED | 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 | DEFERRED | 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. |
(Stretch Goal) Option 2: RAN NSSMF shall be responsible for RAN NFs alone. FH and MH are not included. Only TN NSSMF is within ONAP.
<Note: This section is being updated>
Remark: Core NSSMF can be inside ONAP or outside ONAP for this Option. Only RAN NSSMF has to be outside ONAP.
