Note: Priority 1 items are proposed to be part of Honolulu. Priority 2 items will be considered as "Stretch goals".


  • Preparation phase, involving RAN NF instantiation and onboarding
    • Configuration of RAN NFs over standard O1 - will depend on availability of info models from O-RAN
  • Slice assurance use cases - this needs to be evaluated further.
  • Endpoints and transport connectivity related aspects, for e.g., parameters required to be passed to TN NSSMF (how they shall be determined), MP to MP connection, etc.
  • TA ↔ cell mapping
    • Core Slicing
