5G - E2E Network Slicing
Work Items
1. Frankfurt Improvements
No. | Track | Description | Jira | Priority | Impacts | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1.1 | NST selection | Implementation of NST selection in HAS |
| 1 | HAS | Common understanding of how to fetch template details from SDC |
1.2 | Implement callback for NST selection |
| 1 | OSDF, SO |
| |
1.3 | NSI selection | API improvements - For NSI selection, NSST details should be provided in the request from SO (NSMF). NumSolutions should be provided by SO. Service/Slice Profile attributes, json blob at the end |
| 1 |
| Domain type (AN/TN/CN) should be also included in the Slice Profile (Modeling consideration?) |
1.4 | OOF response shall NOT contain NSSI info (only NSI if available/usable, and Slice Profiles will be sent back). |
| 1 |
|
| |
1.5 | During NSI selection, when the attribute (e.g., reliability) in Threshold Policy is not part of Slice Profile, it should be ignored by HAS (error should not be returned) |
|
| HAS | Already implemented | |
1.6 | Aggregate policy to be implemented, e.g., latency of all Slice Profiles (across subnets) chosen to be < latency in Service Profile. |
| 1 |
| independent improvement | |
1.7 | When considering existing NSSI as a candidate, consider ALL slice profiles (not just “best” one). |
| 2 |
|
| |
1.8 | Slice profile generation - candidates should be generated at appropriate granularity |
| 1 |
|
| |
1.9 | Slice profile selection - choose best one, based on service profile, subnet capabilities (and optionally existing NSSIs, if sharing is allowed???) |
| 1 |
| Priority can be revisited | |
1.10 | Implement callback for NSI selection |
| 1 | OSDF | Additional components - SO | |
1.11 | Selecting "final" solution(s) by OOF based on policy - minimum change policy, maximum slice count policy, reuse policy, etc. subject to the numSolutions limit sent by SO. |
| 2 | HAS
| OOF API shall still contain 'list' of solutions OSDF - translation of Policy | |
1.12 | NSI Termination | API and response for NSI termination - yes or no (check Policy also) |
| 1 - functionality 2- OOF impacted | OSDF, SO | Request should come from SO acting as NSMF |
2. NSSI Selection
No. | Track | Description | Jira | Priority | Impacts | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2.1 | NSSI Selection | Select appropriate NSSI, return "no solution" if no solution exists (Send Slice Profiles also in case of RAN NSSI selection for Option 1) |
| 1 |
| Intention is to make NSSI selection domain agnostic. |
2.2 | Implement callback for NSSI selection |
| 1 |
|
| |
2.3 | NSSI Termination | API and response for NSSI termination - yes or no (check Policy also) |
| 1 - functionality 2 - OOF impacted | OSDF, SO | Request should come from SO acting as NSSMF |
