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 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: A network management system can monitor and process raw measurements of network functions (NFs). The NFs are coupled to one another via service based interfaces in a 5G network core (5GC) of a 5G network system (5GS). A server producer generates performance measurements corresponding to the one or more NFs based on the raw measurements. The performance measurements are used to evaluate and optimize the performance related to network services enablement, mobility tracking and reachability with a user equipment (UE) or the gNB according to an Access Mobility Function (AMF) component, a Session Management Function (SMF) component, a Policy Control Function (PCF) component, a Network Exposure Function (NEF) component, or a Network Function Repository Function (NRF) component, as well as associated performance parameters or measurements disclosed.

Abstract: A network management function (NMF) is configured to instantiate a network service (NS), update a NS, and/or establish a relation between a virtualized network function (VNF) instance and a physical network function (PNF) instance. The NMF may instantiate, for example, a NS including a new VNF that is part of a base station or a g Node B (gNB), a NS including a PNF that is part of the gNB, or a NS that includes a PNF and a new VNF that form a gNB. The NMF may also, for example, update a NS to add a VNF instance to a NS that already includes a PNF instance to form a gNB, or update a NS to add a PNF instance to a NS that already includes a VNF instance to form a gNB.

Abstract: In an example computer-implemented method, a management module receives measurement data from one or more first network modules of a wireless communications network. The measurement data pertains to at least one of establishing one or more communications sessions on the wireless communications network by the one or more first network modules, or modifying one or more communications sessions on the wireless communications network by the one or more first network modules. The management module generates one or more performance metrics based on the measurement data, and transmits the one or more performance metrics to one or more second network modules of the wireless communications network.
