Sure Takuya I will add them to the new version of the draft.

Cheers,

Hi Reza,

Thanks for sharing this draft. I'm curious about how to bind/associate 3GPP(RAN/Core) slice instance and Transport slice instance and section 5.2 of this draft describes as follows:

      o In order to have the connectivity between RAN1 and UPF1, the RAN
         and Core slices should be associated to Transport slice. This is
         also a by-product of the Transport slice connectivity interface
         when all allocated resources for access points (such as allocated
         VLAN IDs, IP addresses etc) are conveyed to RAN and Core Slices.
         This will be done by cordiantion between transport slice
         controller and E2E network slice controller.

As for this sentences, could you confirm if following procedures will be conducted between controllers in order to associate independent slice instances or not?
 - E2E Network Slice Controller sends a request on transport slice creation to Transport Controller (interface 10 of Fig.2)
 - Transport Controller creates transport slice instance and sends access point information(e.g. VLAN ID) to E2E Network Slice Controller
 - E2E Network Slice Controller sends a request on access point creation/modification to RAN/Core Controller
 - RAN/Core Controller create/modify access point on gNB/UPF respectively, which means gNB/UPF starts to attach adequate access point information(e.g. VLAN ID) on their user plane packet

[Reza] The above procedure is correct but this is one way to implement the binding (aka association) between RAN-Transport slices and Core-Transport slices.

[Taku] OK. If such kinds of procedures are taken at Core/RAN Controller, it might be better to describe such procedures in Section3.
          We also have to check if these access point information can be conveyed at the 3GPP defined interface between E2E Controller and Core/RAN Controller.

There are other ways to implement the binding. For example, the transport slice controller can populate the following two tables dynamically during the transport slice creation, modification or deletion and expose access to this table using open APIs. Then, the RAN/Core network functions or RAN/Core slice controllers can access these APIs to program the VLAN/IP/Labels.

  *   RAN-Transport mapping table: Which maps the RAN VLAN/IP address/MPLS Labels etc to network slice
  *   Core-Transport mapping table: Which maps the Core VLAN/IP address/MPLS Labels etc to network slice

[Taku] That sounds good.

    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.









    Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission

    until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
