B.2.1 ETN_Configuration API

B.2.1.1 API URI

The CoAP URIs used in CoAP requests from SNSCE-C towards the SNSCE-S shall have the Resource URI structure as defined in clause C.1.1 of 3GPP TS 24.546 [3A] with the following clarifications:

– the <apiName> shall be "su_nsc";

– the <apiVersion> shall be "v1"; and

– the <apiSpecificSuffixes> shall be set as described in clause B.2.1.2.

B.2.1.2 Resources

B.2.1.2.1 Overview

The Resource URI structure of the ETN_Configuration API is as shown in Figure B.2.1.2.1-1:

Description

Configuration

/val-services/{valServiceId}/configurations/{configurationId}

PUT (NOTE)

Performs configuration.

NOTE: In this release, the only configuration is the slice adaptation as described in 3GPP TS 23.434 [2].

B.2.1.2.2 Resource: Configuration

B.2.1.2.2.1 Description

The Configuration resource allows an SNSCE-C a specific configuration identified by a configuration ID, to send a CoAP request containing:

a) a list of one or more VAL UEs;

b) a requested S-NSSAI;

c) optionally a requested DNN; and

d) optionally a requested configuration cause,

for a specific VAL service identified by a VAL service ID, toward a SNSCE-S to perform a network triggered slice configuration for the list of one or more VAL UEs for that specific VAL service.

NOTE: In this release, S-NSSAI and DNN are the only used route selection descriptors of the URSP rules described in 3GPP TS 24.526 [3].

B.2.1.2.2.2 Resource Definition

Resource URI: {apiRoot}/su_nsc/<apiVersion>/val-services/{valServiceId}/configurations/{configurationId}

B.2.1.2.2.3 Resource Standard Method

B.2.1.2.2.3.1 PUT

This operation is to update a given configuration for one or more VAL UEs for a given VAL service which is provided by the SNSCE-S.

This method shall support the request data structures specified in table B.2.1.2.2.3.1-1, the response data structures and response codes specified in table B.2.1.2.2.3.1-2.
