6.4  Observed Service Experience related network data analyticsp. 159

6.4.1  Generalp. 159

This clause specifies how NWDAF can provide Observed Service Experience (i.e. average of observed Service MoS and/or variance of observed Service MoS indicating service MOS distribution for services such as audio-visual streaming as well as services that are not audio-visual streaming such as V2X and Web Browsing services) analytics, in the form of statistics or predictions, to a service consumer.
The Observed Service Experience analytics may provide one or more of the following outputs:
  • Service Experience for a Network Slice: Service Experience for a UE or a group of UEs or any UE in a Network Slice;
  • Service Experience for an Application: Service Experience for a UE or a group of UEs or any UE in an Application or a set of Applications;
  • Service Experience for an Edge Application over a UP path: Service experience for a UE or a group UEs or any UE in an Application or a set of Applications over a specific UP path (UPF, DNAI and EC server);
  • Service Experience for an Application over a RAT Type or Frequency or both: Service experience for a UE or a group of UEs in an Application or a set of Applications over a RAT Type or over a Frequency or both as defined in Table 6.4.1-1.
  • Service Experience for an Application transferring data over a PDU Session: Service experience for a UE or a group of UEs or any UEs in an Application or a set of Applications transferring data over a PDU Session with PDU Session parameters i.e. S-NSSAI, DNN, PDU Session Type , SSC mode and optionally an Access Type or with combination of PDU Session parameters such as a list of the tuple (PDU Session Type, SSC mode) optionally per Access Type.
Therefore, Observed Service experience may be provided as defined in clause 6.4.3. For example, individually per UE or group of UEs, or globally, averaged per Application or averaged across a set of Applications on a Network Slice.
The service consumer may be an NF (e.g. PCF, NSSF, AMF, NEF), AF, or the OAM.
The consumer of these analytics shall indicate in the request or subscription:
  • Analytics ID = "Service Experience";
  • Target of Analytics Reporting: one or more SUPI(s) or Internal Group Identifier(s), or "any UE";
  • Analytics Filter Information as defined in Table 6.4.1-1 and optionally a list of analytics subsets that are requested (see clause 6.4.3);
  • optionally, maximum number of objects and maximum number of SUPIs;
  • optionally, preferred level of accuracy of the analytics;
  • optionally, preferred level of accuracy per analytics subset;
  • optionally, preferred order of results for the list of Application Service Experiences and/or Slice instance service experiences: "ascending" or "descending";
  • optionally, preferred granularity of location information: TA level or cell level or "longitude and latitude level";
  • Analytics target period that indicates the time window for which the statistics or predictions are requested;
  • in a subscription, the Notification Correlation Id and the Notification Target Address; and
  • optionally, Reporting Thresholds, which apply only for subscriptions and indicate conditions on the Service Experience to be reached in order to be notified by the NWDAF (see Table 6.4.3-1 and Table 6.4.3-2).

NOTE 1:
These parameters can be provided when a consumer requires analytics for an edge application over a UP path.
NOTE 2:
A service consumer can provide either a RAT Type or a Frequency or a specific combination of RAT Type and Frequency. A service consumer can also provide multiple instances of RAT Type or multiple instances of Frequency or multiple combinations of RAT type and Frequency. A service consumer can also provide "any" RAT type indication "any" Frequency value indication or "any" indication for all the RAT type and Frequency value the NWDAF has received for the application.
NOTE 3:
One or more of these parameters can be provided by the consumer when requesting analytics for an application running over a PDU Session(s).
NOTE 4:
UPF ID is only needed when the target of NWDAF analytics on Service Experience is a specific UPF.
NOTE 5:
The terms "HPLMN" and "VPLMN" here refer to a roaming case in which at least one UE served by the NWDAF analytics consumer is involved.
NOTE 6:
If the request is for fine granularity location information (i.e. with a finer granularity than cell), the AOI may be described as shown in clause 5.5 of TS 23.273.
The NWDAF shall notify the result of the analytics to the consumer as specified in clause 6.4.3.
NWDAF collects the network data from AF (directly or via NEF) and from other 5GC NF(s) in order to calculate and provide statistics and predictions on the observed service experience to a consumer NF or to OAM. When the AF provides Service Experience Information and the Target of Analytics Reporting is one or more UE ID(s), the AF may also provide a Service Experience Contribution Weight with each UE's Service Experience value. The Service Experience Contribution Weight is determined by the AF and indicates the relative importance of each UE's Service Experience. The NWDAF may use the Service Experience Contribution Weight(s) to calculate and provide statistics, confidence values and predictions on the observed service experience to a consumer NF or to OAM.
Based on the Analytics Filter information in Table 6.4.1-1 and the Target of Analytics Reporting provided by the service consumer in the analytics subscription or request, NWDAF determines whether service experience analytics should be delivered for:
  1. Application(s);
  2. Network Slice;
  3. both Application(s) and Network Slice;
  4. Edge Applications over a UP path;
  5. Application(s) over RAT Type(s) and/or Frequency value(s);
  6. Application(s) running over a PDU Session using the following PDU Session parameters or combination of them, i.e. S-NSSAI, DNN, PDU Session type, SSC Mode and optionally per Access Type.
If NWDAF is unable to differentiate based on the analytics subscription or request, it provides service experience analytics for both Application(s) and Network Slice.
If service experience for both Application(s) and Network Slice is desired but the Target of Analytics Reporting or Analytics Filter information values (e.g. Area of Interest) need to be different, separate subscriptions/requests may be provided by the service consumer.

6.4.4  Procedures to request Service Experience for an Applicationp. 170

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.288, Fig. 6.4.4-1: Procedure for NWDAF providing Service Experience for an Application
Up
This procedure allows the consumer to request Analytics ID "Service Experience" for a particular Application. The consumer includes both the Application ID for which the Service Experience is requested and indicates that the Target of Analytics Reporting is "any UE". If the Target for Analytics Reporting is either a SUPI or an Internal-Group-Id the procedure in clause 6.4.6 applies. At the same time, for an Application ID, a set of initial QoS parameter combinations per service experience window (e.g. one is for 3<Service MOS<4 and another is for 4<Service MOS<5) is defined in PCF (e.g. by configuration of operator policies) that may be updated based on the Service Experience reported by NWDAF.
Step 1.
Consumer NF sends an Analytics request/subscribe (Analytics ID = Service Experience, Target of Analytics Reporting = any UE, Analytics Filter Information that may include one or more of the following as defined in Table 6.4.1-1 (Application ID, S-NSSAI, DNN, Application Server Address(es), Area of Interest, RAT type(s), Frequency value(s)), Analytics Reporting Information=Analytics target period) to NWDAF by invoking a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request or a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe.
Step 2a.
NWDAF subscribes the service data from AF in the Table 6.4.2-1 by invoking Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe or Naf_EventExposure_Subscribe service (Event ID = Service Experience information, Application ID, Event Filter information), Target of Event Reporting = Any UE) as defined in TS 23.502.
Step 2b.
NWDAF subscribes the network data from 5GC NF(s) in the Table 6.4.2-2 by invoking Nnf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation.
Step 2c.
With these data, the NWDAF estimates the Service experience for the application.
Step 3.
The NWDAF provides the data analytics, i.e. the observed Service Experience (which can be a range of values) to the consumer NF by means of either Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request response or Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Notify, depending on the service used in step 1, indicating how well the used QoS Parameters satisfy the Service MoS agreed between the MNO and the end user or between the MNO and the external ASP.
If the consumer NF is a PCF and it determines that the application SLA is not satisfied, it may take into account the Observed Service Experience and the operator policies including SLA and required Service Experience (which can be a range of values) to determine new QoS parameters to be applied for the service, as defined in clause 6.1.1.3 and clause 6.2.1.2 of TS 23.503.
If the consumer NF is an AF (e.g. MEC or other Application Server), it may use the Observed Service Experience related network data analytics to determine whether the user experience can be satisfied. If not, the AF may determine to adjust service parameters, e.g. for a video service this may be bit rate, frame rate, codec format, compression parameter, screen size, etc. to better match the network conditions and achieve better user experience.
If the consumer NF is SMF, PCF or AF/Application Server, it may take into account the Observed Service Experience analytics per UP path (i.e. UPF and/or DNAI and/or AS instance address as defined in Table 6.4.3-1) to perform the following procedures:
  • The consumer SMF determines to (re)selects UP paths, including UPF and DNAI, as described in clause 4.3.5 of TS 23.502. In addition, the SMF may (re)configure traffic steering, updating the UPF regarding the target DNAI with new traffic steering rules.
  • The consumer AF/Application Server determines to adjust service parameters, e.g. service parameters of video for adjustment may be bit rate, frame rate, codec format, compression parameter, screen size, etc. or service parameters for the AI/ML operations described in clause 6.40 of TS 22.261. In addition, the AF/ Application Server may provide an updated list of DNAI(s) for SMF to perform relocation when appropriate.
  • The consumer PCF may provide an updated list of DNAI(s) for SMF to perform relocation upon AF request.
If the consumer NF is a NEF, it may take into account the Observed Service Experience analytics to support Member UE selection as detailed in clause 4.15.13 of TS 23.502.

6.4.5  Procedures to request Service Experience for a Network Slicep. 172

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.288, Fig. 6.4.5-1: Procedure for NWDAF providing Service Experience for a UE or a group of UEs in a Network Slice
Up
This procedure is similar to the procedure in clause 6.4.4, with the following differences. The consumer needs to request the Analytics ID "Service Experience" for all UEs or a group of UEs or a UE on a Network Slice, identified by an S-NSSAI. If multiple Network Slice instances of the same Network Slice are deployed, associated NSI ID(s) may be used in addition to S-NSSAI. If 'any UE' is the Target of Analytics Reporting, NWDAF may subscribe to UE mobility event notifications of AMF as described in clause 5.3.4.4 of TS 23.501 using event ID "UE moving in or out of Area of Interest" and Event Filters as described in Table 5.2.2.3.1-1 of TS 23.502 if it is needed to retrieve the list of SUPIs (and GPSIs if available) in the area of interest. The event exposure service request may also include the immediate reporting flag as Event Reporting Information as described in Table 4.15.1-1 of TS 23.502.
In addition, service experience data may need to be collected from multiple Applications. If each Application is hosted in different AFs, NWDAF subscribes the service data in the Table 6.4.2-1 from the different AFs by invoking Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe or Naf_EventExposure_Subscribe services for each Application (Event ID = Service Experience information, Event Filter information, Application ID) as defined in TS 23.502. Figure 6.4.5-1 shows an example procedure with two AFs. If one AF provides the service experience data of multiple Applications, the set of Application IDs is provided by NWDAF to the AF with the Naf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation, as defined TS 23.502.
The Observed Service Experience for a Network Slice when consumed by OAM could be used as described in Annex H of TS 28.550.

6.4.6  Procedures to request Service Experience for a UE |R17|p. 172

Figure 6.4.6-1 depicts procedure for NWDAF providing Service Experience for an application for a UE or a group of UEs.
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.288, Fig. 6.4.6-1: Procedure for NWDAF providing Service Experience for an application for a UE or a group of UEs
Up
The procedure in clause 6.4.4 applies with the following additions. The consumer needs to request the Analytics ID "Service Experience" for a UE identified by a SUPI or a group of UEs identified by an Internal Group-Id. The consumer includes both the Application ID for which their Service Experience is requested and the Target of Analytics Reporting for a SUPI or an Internal-Group-Id. Analytic Filter Information can be set according to clause 6.4.1. The NWDAF may collect UE location information from the GLMC if the consumer requested fine granularity location information according to clause 6.4.2.1. When NEF is the NF service consumer, the NEF translates a GPSI into a SUPI or an External-Group-Id into an Internal-Group-Id then includes it in the Target of Analytics Reporting.
