  • VES model

Material:

Minutes:

  • Root Proposal:

    • revisit the proposal last week and on the resource/service IM calls

    • no concerns are raised

    • would like to call for consensus on Tuesday's call

  • Network Slice Model:

    • Q: what's the addtions for supporting network slice?

      • ServiceProfile/SliceProfile for design and instanceProfile for runtime model

      • filters to select shared (subnet) slices for design model

      • instanceSharingNumber for instance model

    • service can be considered as proxy of resource

    • configuration information (day 0,1,2, ...) would be stored in CDS

      • there will be different templates (portions of information) for day 0 and day 1/2

      • are these configuration only consumed by APP-C? not sure

    • RIC: realtime interface controller, handle realtime interaction with ONAP, related to ORAN

    • Is DU sharing means DUaaS can be configured? or DUaaS shared by different network slice? (regarding to email discussions)

      • intend to be the latter one

      • according to 3GPP, one DU can only be connected to one CU

        • CU could be virtualised (or partitioned)

        • DUaaS in the proposal (or say, ONAP view) may be different with the DU concept (PNF) in 3GPP

    • filter

      • for service selection (to find a shared (subnet) slice)

      • different from the service profile

      • not included in 3GPP/ETSI NS

      • examples can be found in the slides (see material, page 24)

      • alternative way: declare the needs, let the orchestration to select (not using filters)

    • no expected actions for resource model currently, will wait for concrete (not conceptial) design

  • VES:

    • impact from root proposal

    • plan to start updating the model from this week
