6.14.1  Generalp. 246

This clause specifies how an NWDAF can provide DN Performance Analytics which provides analytics for user plane performance (i.e. average/maximum traffic rate, average/maximum packet delay, average packet loss rate) in the form of statistics or predictions to a service consumer.
The DN Performance Analytics may provide one or a combination of the following information:
  • User plane performance analytics for a specific Edge Computing application for a UE, group of UEs, or any UE over a specific serving anchor UPF.
  • User plane performance analytics for a specific Edge Computing application for a UE, group of UEs, or any UE over a specific DNAI.
  • User plane performance analytics for a specific Edge Computing application for a UE, group of UEs, or any UE over a specific Edge Application Server Instance.
The service consumer may be an NF (e.g. SMF, PCF) or an AF.
The consumer of these analytics shall indicate in the request or subscription:
  • Analytics ID = "DN Performance";
  • Target of Analytics Reporting: one or more SUPI(s) or Internal Group Identifier(s), or "any UE";

  • optionally, preferred order of results for the list of Network Performance information:
    • ordering criterion: one of the analytics subset (see clause 6.14.3);
    • order: ascending or descending;
  • optionally, Reporting Thresholds, which apply only for subscriptions and indicate conditions on the level to be reached for respective analytics subsets (see clause 6.14.3) in order to be notified by the NWDAF;
  • optionally, maximum number of objects and maximum number of SUPIs;
  • An Analytics target period indicates the time period over which the statistics or predictions are requested; and
  • Optionally, Spatial granularity size and Temporal granularity size.

6.14.4  Procedures to request DN Performance Analytics for an Applicationp. 251

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.288, Fig. 6.14.4-1: Procedure for NWDAF providing DN Performance analytics for an Application
Up
The procedure illustrated in Figure 6.14.4-1 allows an analytics consumer to request Analytics ID "DN Performance" for a particular Application. The analytics consumer includes the Application ID for which DN Performance is requested. The consumer indicates the Target of Analytics Reporting (e.g. "any UE") and may include as Analytic Filter Information the UPF anchor ID, DNAI, or Application Server instance that DN performance analytics are requested.
Step 1.
Analytics consumer sends an Analytics request/subscribe (Analytics ID = DN Performance Target of Analytics Reporting, Analytics Filter Information = (Application ID, S-NSSAI, DNN, Area of Interest, UPF anchor ID, DNAI, Application Server Address(es)), Analytics Reporting Information = Analytics target period) to NWDAF by invoking a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request or a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe service.
Step 2a.
NWDAF subscribes to the performance data from AF defined in Table 6.14.2-1 by invoking Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe or Naf_EventExposure_Subscribe service (Event ID = Performance Data, Application ID, Event Filter information), Target of Event Reporting = Any UE) as defined in TS 23.502.
Step 2b.
NWDAF subscribes to the network data from 5GC NF(s) defined in Table 6.4.2-2 by invoking Nnf_EventExposure_Subscribe service.
Step 2c.
With the collected data, the NWDAF estimates the DN Performance for the application.
Step 3.
NWDAF provides the data analytics, to the analytics consumer by means of either Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request response or Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Notify, depending on the service used in step 1.
If the analytics consumer is an SMF, the SMF may use the analytics to determine the UPF and DNAI that offers the best user plane performance.
If the analytics consumer is an AF, the AF may use the analytics to determine the DNAI that has the best user plane performance if Application Server relocation is required.
