Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component or network management component) as a service provider or a service consumer can process or generate performance data streaming in response to a request to create a performance data stream. Information overhead related to the performance data stream can be provided that enables use of the performance data stream in and through data stream units to support performance measurement collection activities.

Abstract: An apparatus for self-optimization of a Network Slice Instance, NSI, comprising network slice related management functions is provided. The apparatus can include a Network Slice Management Function, NSMF, operable to monitor a performance of a Network Slice Instance in use, and evaluate whether the Network Slice Instance meets a received set of Network Slice requirements, wherein the received set of Network Slice requirements are received from a Service Management Function, SMF, and/or an Operator's target for performance of the Network Slice Instance. The apparatus can also include a Network Slice Subnet Management Function, in communication with the Network Slice Management Function, and operable to modify a Network Slice SubNet Instance, NSSI, for use in the Network Slice Instance in use in order to meet the received Network Slice requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus of a management service equipment includes processing circuitry. To configure the management service equipment for measuring a plurality of key performance indicators (KPIs) in a 5G network with a plurality of network functions (NFs), the processing circuitry is to retrieve using a data analytic function of the management service equipment, a plurality of performance measurements associated with a cell of a radio access network (RAN) within the 5G network. A KPI of the plurality of KPIs associated with the cell is generated using the data analytic function of the management service equipment, based on the plurality of performance measurements. The KPI is encoded for transmission to a service application executing on a user equipment (UE) active within the cell of the RAN or executing within a cloud architecture.

Abstract: In an example method, a management service (MnS) producer sends a first request to establish a connection for streaming performance data regarding a wireless communications network to a MnS consumer. The MnS producer receives a first response from the MnS consumer confirming establishment of the connection, and streams one or more units of performance data to the MnS consumer sequentially using the connection. The one or more units include one or more performance metrics regarding the wireless communications network. The MnS producer sends a second request to the MnS consumer to terminate the connection, and receives a second response from the MnS consumer confirming termination of the connection.

Abstract: An apparatus of a management service equipment includes processing circuitry. To configure the management service equipment for E2E performance measurements in a 5G network with a plurality of network functions (NFs), the processing circuitry is to decode RAN latency received from a RAN within the 5G network. The RAN latency is associated with transmission of an Internet protocol (IP) packet between a UE and a data network (DN) via the RAN. A user plane function (UPF) latency associated with communication of the IP packet between the RAN and a UPF within the 5G network is determined. A DN latency associated with communication of the IP packet between the UPF and the DN is determined. An E2E performance measurement calculation is performed to determine an E2E latency associated with communicating the IP packet between the UE and the DN based on the RAN latency, the UPF latency, and the DN latency.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying and remedying performance issues of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) are discussed. An example system includes processor(s) configured to: process VNF Performance Measurement (PM) data received from a network Element Manager (EM) for a VNF; determine whether the VNF has a negative performance issue based on the VNF PM data; request that the EM create a Virtualization Resource (VR) PM job associated with a VR of the VNF when the VNF has the negative performance issue; process VR PM data received from the EM; determine whether to restart the VNF based on the VR PM data and the VNF PM data; and request a network function virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) to restart the VNF based on a determination to restart the VR.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for configuring a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO). In one aspect, a method can include actions of generating, by one or more computers, a message that includes data representing a request to upload a virtual network function (VNF) package, encoding, by the one or more computers, the generated message that includes the VNF package for transmission to a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), and transmitting, by the one or more computers, the encoded message to the NFVO.
