Introduction

Each Service Provider (SP) needs to support a rich set of advanced 5G wireless services, such as enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB), massive Internet of Things (mIoT), and Ultra-Reliable, Low-latency Communications (URLLC ), for mission critical communications.

These services have very different requirements on latency, reliability, availability, mobility, and bandwidth.  Deploying multiple separate networks to support these varying requirements is not practical.  End to End vertical network slicing as defined by 3GPP provides specifications for efficient creation of multiple logical networks sharing a common network infrastructure while meeting the specified service levels for each of the services. ONAP must support the complete lifecycle management of such network slicing.

Automated Configuration:  Automated configuration of a slice during the instantiation, configuration, and activation phases, a newly created set of identifying parameters automatically configured

Automated reconfiguration. Automated reconfiguration happens during run-time e.g. an active slice can be reconfigured automatically because of a change in the service requirements or service conditions.

Here are some of the network elements participating in E2E Slicing:
