B.2 NSSI measurement job creation

28.5503GPPManagement and orchestrationPerformance assuranceRelease 18TS

The Figure B.2-1 illustrates an example of procedure for creating a measurement job for NSSI(s).

This procedure is only applicable for the scenario where the NSSI measurement type(s) can be decomposed into the measurement data type(s) of the constituent NSSI(s) and NF(s).

Figure B.2-1: Example of procedure for NSSI measurement job creation

1a. The authorized consumer invokes the CreateMeasurementJob operation (see clause 6.1.1) to NSSI measurement job control service producer to request creation of a measurement job for NSSI(s).

2. The NSSI measurement job control service producer decomposes the measurement type(s) of each NSSI to the measurement type(s) of the constituent NSSI(s) and/or NF(s), and checks if new measurement type(s) need to be collected for the constituent NSSI(s) and/or NF(s).

3. For each constituent NSSI to be measured, if new measurements type(s) need to be collected, the NSSI measurement job control service producer acts as consumer of another NSSI measurement job control service instance, and requests the corresponding NSSI measurement job control service producer to request creation of measurement job for the NSSI (following the same procedure as illustrated in this figure).

It is also possible to create one measurement job to collect the performance data for multiple NSSI(s).

4. For each constituent NF to be measured, if new measurements type(s) need to be collected, the NSSI measurement job control service producer acts as consumer of NF measurement job control service, and requests the corresponding NF measurement job control service producer to request creation of measurement job for the NF (according to the NF measurement job creation procedure as illustrated in clause B.1).

It is also possible to create one measurement job to collect the performance data for multiple NF(s).

1b. The NSSI measurement job control service producer returns the result of CreateMeasurementJob operation (see clause 6.1.1) to the consumer.

If the NSSI measurement job is successfully created, the NSSI measurement job control service producer will collect the performance data for the constituent NSSI(s) and/or NF(s) accordingly, generate the measurement results for the measured NSSI(s) and make the measurement results available to the NSSI performance data reporting service producer for each reporting period.
