Executive Summary
5G Network Slicing is one of the central features of 5G. Network Slicing essence is in sharing network resources (PNFs, VNFs, CNFs) while satisfying multiple, sometimes contradictory requirements. Same network is expected to provide different Quality of Experience to different consumers. An End to End Network Slice consists of RAN, Transport and Core network slice sub-nets. This Use Case intends to demonstrate the modeling, orchestration and assurance of a simple network slice (e.g. eMBB). While 3GPP standards are evolving and 5G Core is emerging, the Use Case will start with simple example of a 5G RAN Network Slice sub-net.

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
R4 DEVELOPMENT SCOPE
In R4 (Dublin) release only modeling of 5G Network Slicing will be provided.
Orchestration of the 5G Network Slicing model is planned in later release (R5), pending availability SO development resources and of 5G RAN (and optionally 5G Core) simulators.
