Definitions
- This disclosure relates to wireless communication networks, especially network slicing.
- Network slicing makes it possible to create multiple logical networks or unvirtualized logical networks on top of physical networks.
- Network slicing may use Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology and software-defined networking (SDN) technology to create multiple virtualized logical networks on top of a physical network. ..
- NFV Network Function Virtualization
- SDN software-defined networking
- Each logical network is called a network slice.
- Network slices provide specific network capabilities and network characteristics.
- a network slice instance (NSI) is a network function (NF) instance and resources (e.g., computer processing resources, storage, and storage) to form a single network slice.
- Networking resources and one or both of the access network (AN) (Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) and Non-3GPP InterWorking Function (N3IWF)).
- AN Next Generation Radio Access Network
- N3IWF Non-3GPP InterWorking Function
- S-NSSAI Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information
- SST Slice / Service type
- SD Slice Differentiator
- SST means referreds to expected network slice behavior with respect to features and services.
- SD is optional information and complements SST to distinguish between multiple network slices of the same Slice / Service type.
- S-NSSAI can have standard values or non-standard values.
- Standard SST values 1, 2, 3, and 4 are enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), Massive Internet of Things (MIoT), and Vehicle to Everything ( V2X) Associated with slice types.
- the non-standard value of S-NSSAI identifies one network slice within a particular Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). That is, non-standard SST values are PLMN-specific values and are associated with the PLMN ID of the PLMN to which they are assigned.
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- Each S-NSSAI guarantees network independence in choosing a particular NSI.
- the same NSI may be selected via different S-NSSAIs.
- the same S-NSSAI may be associated with different NSIs.
- Each network slice may be uniquely identified by S-NSSAI.
- S-NSSAI There are two types of S-NSSAI, which are known as S-NSSAI and Mapped S-NSSAI.
- S-NSSAI identifies the network slice provided by the serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to which the UE connects. Therefore, when the home network is in the area, S-NSSAI identifies the network slice of the home network (e.g., Home PLMN (HPLMN)).
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- S-NSSAI identifies the network slice of the roaming network (e.g., Visited PLMN (VPLMN)).
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- VPN Visited PLMN
- Mapped S-NSSAI is a Home PLMN (HPLMN) S-NSSAI that is mapped (associated or applicable) to the S-NSSAI that identifies the network slice of the roaming network when the UE is roaming. It may be S-NSSAI included in the subscriber information of the UE user.
- HPLMN Home PLMN
- S-NSSAI included in the subscriber information of the UE user.
- NSSAI Network Slice Selection Assistance Information
- Configured NSSAI Requested NSSAI
- Allowed NSSAI Rejected NSSAI
- Pending NSSAI Pending NSSAI
- Configured NSSAI includes at least one S-NSSAI, each applicable to at least one PLMN.
- the Configured NSSAI is set by, for example, the Serving PLMN and is applied to the Serving PLMN.
- the Configured NSSAI may be the Default Configured NSSAI.
- the Default Configured NSSAI is set by the Home PLMN (HPLMN) and applies to any (any) PLMNs for which no specific (specific) Configured NSSAI is provided.
- Default Configured NSSAI is provisioned from Unified Data Management (UDM) of HPLMN to a wireless terminal (User Equipment (UE)) via Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), for example.
- UDM Unified Data Management
- UE User Equipment
- AMF Access and Mobility Management Function
- the Requested NSSAI is signaled to the network by the UE, for example, in a registration procedure, allowing the network to determine a Serving AMF, at least one network slice, and at least one NSI for that UE.
- Allowed NSSAI indicates at least one S-NSSAI provided to the UE by the Serving PLMN and can be used by the UE in the current Registration Area (RA) of the Serving PLMN. Allowed NSSAI is determined by the AMF of the Serving PLMN, for example, during the registration procedure. Allowed NSSAI is signaled to the UE by the network (i.e., AMF) and stored in the respective memories (e.g., non-volatile) of the AMF and the UE.
- the network i.e., AMF
- memories e.g., non-volatile
- Rejected NSSAI includes at least one S-NSSAI rejected by the current (current) PLMN.
- Rejected NSSAI is sometimes called rejected S-NSSAIs.
- S-NSSAI is either rejected by the current PLMN as a whole or rejected by the current (current) registration area (RA). If the AMF rejects any one of at least one S-NSSAI included in the Requested NSSAI, for example, in the registration procedure of the UE, these are included in the Rejected NSSAI.
- the Rejected NSSAI is signaled to the UE by the network (i.e., AMF) and stored in the respective memories of the AMF and the UE.
- Pending NSSAI indicates at least one S-NSSAI for which authentication and authorization (Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization (NSSAA)) specialized for network slices are pending.
- the Serving PLMN must perform NSSAA on HPLMN S-NSSAIs that are subject to NSSAA based on subscription information.
- AMF implements Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) -based authorization procedure (invoke). EAP-based authentication procedure takes a relatively long time to obtain the result (outcome). Therefore, AMF determines Allowed NSSAI as described above in the registration procedure of UE, but does not include S-NSSAIs subject to NSSAA in the Allowed NSSAI, but instead includes them in Pending NSSAI.
- Pending NSSAI is signaled to the UE by the network (i.e., AMF) and stored in the respective memories of AMF and UE.
- the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is considering enhancing network slice functions for Release 17.
- 3GPP Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects (TSG-SA) Working Group 1 (WG1) is for Release 18 to investigate the feasibility of Enhanced Access to Support of Network Slice.
- Approved a new working / study item (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- One of the objectives of this study item is to limit network slices to certain frequency bands / subbands, RadioAccess Technologies (RATs), geographic areas, networks, applications, etc. Identifying various deployments and usage scenarios of network slices, when there is a restriction of network slices to e.g., ceramic frequency bands / subbands, RATs, geographical areas ..

- NSR information indicates that a S-NSSAI can only be used in a particular 1 or higher frequency band, or cannot be used in a particular 1 or higher frequency band. In one example, NSR information indicates that an S-NSSAI can only be used with one or more specific RATs, or not with one or more specific RATs. In one example, NSR information indicates that an S-NSSAI can only be used in one or more specific geographic areas, or not in a specific one or more geographic areas. Each geographic area may be a tracking area or a cell. In one example, NSR information is available for a particular S-NSSAI only for a particular one or more application (or service), or for a particular one or more application (or service). Indicates that it cannot be used for.
- the NSR information indicates that there is a priority among the multiple network slices (S-NSSAIs) allowed for UE1. For example, UE1 may recognize that when UE1 is using a network slice that is given a higher priority by NSR information, it cannot simultaneously use a network slice that is lower in rank. Alternatively, the NSR information may indicate that one network slice (S-NSSAI) cannot be used at the same time as the other network slice.
