First draft of YANG Models for Northbound RPC's for review and comments
- RANSlice-API.yang
- RANSlice-API-tree

Interfaces & I/O parameters:

SO (RAN NSSMF) → SDN-C :

Topic Details:

Consumer Topics: (Polls messages from SO)

RAN-Slice-Mgmt – Requests from SO are posted at this topic. The same topic is used for configureNSSI, closed loop and intelligent slicing

Asynchronous Response:

Call back to SO is via Rest API

DMaap Messages:

RAN NF NSSI Allocation

G-release yang model is available at https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=ccsdk/features.git;a=tree;f=sdnr/northbound/ranSlice/model/src/main/yang;h=8a63dcd8202b01ac259136e57fd786428595feba;hb=refs/heads/guilin

Assumptions & Limitations:

PLMNInfo
1. sNSSAI is configured in NRCellDU, NRCellCU, gNBCUUPFunction
2. ConfigDB updates are not handled for activate and deactivate flows
RRMPolicy
1. rRMPolicyDedicatedRatio is alone considered for this release which indicates that resource sharing is not allowed across the RRMPolicymemberslist
2. RRMPolicy update is handled for NRCellDU, NRCellCU, gNBCUUPFunction
YANG Model
1. NearRTRIC sliceprofile is not updated to Netconf in G-release

configureRANSliceInstance
instantiateRANSlice
terminateRANSliceInstance
determineRANSliceResources - Not covered in G-release
activateRANSliceInstance
deactivateRANSliceInstance - As this RPC repeats most of the actions of activateRANSliceInstance, it is clubbed with activateRANSliceInstance
CMNotify - Not covered in G-release

RPCs 1,2,3, & 4 are grouped and implemented as a single RPC 'instantiateRANSlice'.

RPCs in detail

1. InstantiateRANSlice

This RPC,

a) Allocates resources for a slice subnet instance

b) Configures NSSAI in RAN slice resources – cells, CU’s, DU’s, Near-RT RIC

c) Updates Slice details in Config DB

Request: Dmaap payload as string

Actions supported: allocate, modify-allocate, modify-deallocate, reconfigure

allocate - new RAN Slice created across RAN manged elements covered in the Tracking Area (TA) in the DMAAP request. Managed elements for TA is obtained from ConfigDB.

modify-allocate - sharing existing RAN slice for a new sNSSAI

modify-deallocate - sNSSAI is removed from the existing RAN Slice when the RAN Slice is shared among more than one sNSSAI and it cannot be terminated. terminateRANSliceInstance RPC is used to handle this action.

reconfigure - indicates closed loop or intelligent slicing. It is differentiated, based on the resourceConfig received in the Dmaap payload.

2. ActivateRANSliceInstance
