5G Transport Slice Connectivity Interface
draft-rokui-5g-transport-slice-00
Abstract
The 5G Network slicing is an approach to provide separate independent
E2E logical network from user equipment (UE) to applications where
each network slice has different SLA requirements. Each E2E network
slice consists of multitude of RAN-slice, Core-slice and Transport-
slices, each with its own controller. To provide automation,
assurance and optimization of the network slices, an E2E network
slice controller is needed which interacts with controller in RAN,
Core and Transport slices. The interfaces between the E2E network
slice controller and RAN and Core controllers are defined in various
3GPP technical specifications. However, 3GPP has not defined the
same interface for transport slices.
The aim of this document is to provide the clarification of this
interface and to provide the information model of this interface for
automation, monitoring and optimization of the transport slices.
