E2E Slicing Solution |
1 | Support for mMTC, uRLLC Slices | eMBB slice type is supported in the previous release. This requirement is to accommodate the modification in the existing system to support mMTC and uRLLC performance requirements. | Enhancement | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
2 | Activate, Deactivate flows support in external RAN NSSMF | To support the activate and deactivate actions in E2E Network Slicing with External NSSMFs (option2). Currently, instantiation and termination are supported. | Enhancement | 2 | Yogendra | Aarna Networks |
|
|
3 | Capacity based NSI/NSSI Selection | In case of shared scenario (reuse existing slice), NSI/NSSI can be shareable only if sufficient resources are available in the network. OOF should return the solution for NSI/NSSI selection based on this criteria. | New | 2 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
4 | Core, RAN Endpoints Discovery at NSMF | Hardcoded RAN and CN endpoints are used in the previous releases. Discover the Core and RAN endpoints from the network and fed it to TN NSSMF | New | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
5 | NSI Selection based on the coverage Area | eMBB or mMTC like service parameters. with coverageArea more than what is already supported in a suitable existing and shareable NSI Sharing allowed | Enhancement | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
6 | IBN based E2E Slicing | Communication service request is given as business intent and it should be integrated with the existing E2E slice flow. | New | 3 | Dong Wang | China Telecom |
| Descoped for this release |
7 | CSIT Continuation (SO, SDN-R) | CSIT test cases for SO and SDNC component testing | Carry forward | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
8 | Use case Automation | E2E network Slicing use case test automation | New | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
9 | Populate sNSSAI in the UUI to complete the pending actions | Enable the user to select the sNSSAIs in UUI to complete the pending actions pertaining to that Slice | New | 2 |
|
|
| Proposed by Yogendra. Under discussion |

RAN Slicing |
1 | cm-handle registration with CPS-DMI Plugin - Integration | cm-handle should be registered with CPS for every RAN NF instance. Karaf feature to do the registration is completed in I-release, integration with CPS is planned for J-release | New | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
2 | Instantiation of RAN NFs and initial configuration | RAN Network Functions (CUCP, CUUP, DU) are assumed as pre-instantiated and pre-configured since Guilin release. This needs to be created/instantiated as VNFs/CNFs | New | 3 |
|

| Owner not identified yet. |
3 | CPS Integration with SDN-R | RANSlice allocate and reconfigure rpcs to be integrated with CPS for RAN configurations persistence | Carry forward | 1 | Ahila | Wipro |
|
|
4 | CPS Integration Stabilization | Validate and bug fix of CPS integration for RAN slice lifecycle |

Core Slicing |
1 | ETSI aligned Core NSSMF | Leverage Core NSSMF to be in an alignment with SOL-005 APIs while supporting the existing Non-ETSI (3GPP) interfaces | New | 3 |
|
|
| Owner not identified yet. |
2 | New NFs are not getting instantiated for allocateNSSI request having same NSST | Not able to create more than one non-shared Core Slice. It needs a fix at ExtAPI/NBI | Enhancement | 1 |
|
|
| Cannot be done, as ExtAPI is in unmaintained state |
3 | CSIT for core slicing | CSIT test cases for Core NSSMF |
