[{"name":"SP-211260","title":"LS from SA WG5: LS to TM Forum, MEF and GSMA on overall architecture for network slice ordering, provisioning and assurance","source":"SA WG5","contact":"Jean Michel Cornily","contact-id":7599,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Information","abstract":"SA WG5 would like to inform TM Forum, MEF and GSMA that we have started a Release 17 study on network slice management capability exposure. SA WG5 is currently working on two main use cases for the ordering and provisioning of network slices. {. . .} SA WG5 would like to collect your feedback on the above statements. It should be noted that the Assurance part of the network slice is not yet addressed. Candidate APIs shall be identified, for interface types listed here above. SA WG5 is also thinking about new use cases in which the Network Slice Customer (NSC) could be willing to have access to more technical information concerning the network slice, than only the information exposed via the Network Slice Provider (NSP) product catalogue at BSS level. Such use cases are still under investigation. Finally, SA WG5 is also studying whether and how intent-based management may be used in this architecture, in particular when abstraction is required between the two sides of interfaces, and when multiple APIs are candidate for the same purpose. SA WG5 would be happy to collaborate further on all this with TMF, MEF and GSMA.","secretary_remarks":"CC#2: Block Noted","agenda_item_sort_order":9,"ainumber":"2.1","ainame":"Incoming LSs - proposed to note","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":10210,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2021-11-16 10:00:37","uploaded":"2021-11-17 08:23:12","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"Rel-17","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"TM Forum, MEF, GSMA","Cc":"TSG SA","lsoriginalls":"S5-215530","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/tsg_sa\/TSG_SA\/TSGS_94E_Electronic_2021_12\/Docs\/SP-211260.zip","group":"SP","meeting":"SP-94-e","year":2021,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
