B.4 Network measurement job creation

28.5503GPPManagement and orchestrationPerformance assuranceRelease 18TS

This Figure B.4-1 illustrates an example of procedure for creating a measurement job for network/subnetwork(s).

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

Figure B.4-1: Example of procedure for network measurement job creation

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

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

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

3. For each constituent NF to be measured, if new measurements type(s) need to be collected, the network/sub-network 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 annex B.1).

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

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