It describes high-level and functional requirements. The functional requirements consist of two

10、 levels: a) lifecycle management for all slices and b) instance management pertinent to each slice.

ITU-T Y.3110 (09/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standard

13、ization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which

14、 meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU

15、-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation

16、 is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “mus

17、t“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may

18、 involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this

19、 Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent datab

28、 Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 management ITU-T Y.3100: In the context of IMT-2020, the processes aiming at fulfilment, assurance, and billing of services, network functions, and resources in both physical and virtual infrastructure including compute, storage, and

29、network resources. 3.1.2 network slice ITU-T Y.3100: A logical network that provides specific network capabilities and network characteristics. NOTE 1 Network slices enable the creation of customized networks to provide flexible solutions for different market scenarios which have diverse requirement

30、s, with respect to functionalities, performance and resource allocation. NOTE 2 A network slice may have the ability to expose its capabilities. NOTE 3 The behaviour of a network slice is realized via network slice instance(s). 3.1.3 network slice instance ITU-T Y.3100: An instance of network slice,

31、 which is created based on network slice blueprint. NOTE 1 A network slice instance is composed of a set of managed run-time network functions, and physical/logical/virtual resources to run these network functions, forming a complete instantiated logical network to meet certain network characteristi

32、cs required by the service instance(s). 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.3110 (09/2017) NOTE 2 A network slice instance may also be shared across multiple service instances provided by the network operator. A network slice instance may be composed of none, one or more sub-network slice instances which may be shared w

33、ith another network slice instance. 3.1.4 orchestration ITU-T Y.3100: In the context of IMT-2020, the processes aiming at the automated arrangement, coordination, instantiation and use of network functions and resources for both physical and virtual infrastructure by optimization criteria. 3.2 Terms

36、d orchestration should support a combination of IMT-2020 network systems and existing systems (e.g., LTE-Advanced, Wi-Fi and fixed network), coupled with new or revolutionary technologies designed to meet new customer demands such as low latency, massive connectivity, and large volume transmission.

37、To meet these new requirements, the cost of deployment and operation will increase enormously. Network operators need to optimize capital expenditure/operational expenditure (CAPEX/OPEX) by strategically interacting with multiple technology ecosystems especially for different radio/fixed access and

38、virtualized core network technologies. Therefore, management and orchestration for IMT-2020 network is required to support both existing networks as well as evolving networks in an integrated manner. This Recommendation specifies such requirements in the following clauses. 7 High-level requirements

39、for network management and orchestration of IMT-2020 The high-level management and orchestration requirements are as follows: IMT-2020 network is required to manage and orchestrate all resources that can be used to instantiate slices. IMT-2020 network is required to provide capabilities to instantia

40、te a slice based on the available resources. IMT-2020 network is required to manage multiple slices (as slice instances) simultaneously and independently along with their lifecycle (including creation, instantiation, assurance, and termination of each slice). Rec. ITU-T Y.3110 (09/2017) 3 IMT-2020 n

41、etwork is required to provide capabilities to manage the total view of all active slice instances and remaining unused but available resources. IMT-2020 network is required to provide management capabilities that are dedicated to each slice instance. The instance management dedicated to a slice is r

42、equired to work independently from the instance management dedicated to another slice. IMT-2020 network is required to support the fulfilment, assurance and billing of each slice instance. IMT-2020 network is required to provide interfaces to support management and orchestration for existing network

43、s in an integrated manner. IMT-2020 network is required to support standard interfaces between capabilities for a) the slice lifecycle management and orchestration and b) the slice instance management. IMT-2020 network is required to support standard interfaces between a) the management and orchestr

44、ation capabilities for IMT-2020 network and b) the management and orchestration capabilities for existing networks. 8 Functional requirements for network management and orchestration of IMT-2020 8.1 Functional requirements of network slice life cycle management and orchestration The IMT-2020 slice l

45、ifecycle management is required to support slice capacity management and optimization to ensure optimal resource usage while maintaining quality. The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support provisioning and instantiation of requested slices by the customers. Provisioning may invol

46、ve interactions with external provisioning functional entities such as software defined network/network function virtualization (SDN/NFV) orchestrator and/or controllers. The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support inter-slice orchestration (e.g., orchestrated provisioning of mult

47、iple slices and resolving issues on quality, fault, anomaly, and charging among multiple slices). The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support a standard interface for the customers and applications to request slice lifecycle management operations and associated information. The IM

48、T-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support the assurance of the instantiated slices according to the given key performance indicator (KPI). The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support the accounting management of the instantiated slices based on resource usage. The I

49、MT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to store a) the slice-related information from customers request and b) the management information from the slice instance. The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to support the collection and analysis of the status and events of the instantiated slice resources for the purpose of fault, performance, and security management. The IMT-2020 slice lifecycle management is required to manage the lifecycle of the managem
