8.6 Procedure for supporting service API analytics
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.6.1 General
This clause describes the procedure for supporting service API analytics. Such analytics can be for one or more service APIs for a service produced by one or more service producers within the 5GS or enablement layer or the DN side (e.g., application server).
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.6.2 Procedure
Figure 8.6.2-1 illustrates the procedure for service API analytics enablement solution. Pre-conditions: 1. ADAES acts as API management function in CAPIF Figure 8.6.2-1: Service API analytics procedure 1. The consumer (VAL server, API provider) sends a service API event subscription request to the ADAE server to receive analytics for one or more service APIs. 2. Upon receiving the subscription request from the subscribing entity, the ADAE server checks for the relevant authorization for the event subscription. If the authorization is successful, the ADAE server stores the subscription information. 3. The ADAE server sends a service API event subscription response indicating successful subscription. 4. Upon sending the subscription response, the ADAE server requests to collect API logs to be used to derive analytics and triggers API invocation log pull request towards the CAPIF core function. The API invocation log fetch request indicates the API (or list of APIs) for which logs are required. Based on the ADAE server deployment, this can be a Query service API log request which is performed via CAPIF_Auditing API as specified in 3GPP TS 23.222 [8]. 5. The CCF authorizes the request and fetches the API logs from the storage unit. CCF then sends the requested information to the ADAE server via a query service API log response. 6. The ADAES may also request service API historical analytics /data from A-ADRF for the corresponding service APIs. 7. Based on the request, the ADAES receives historical analytics/data for the service APIs from the A-ADRF. 8. The ADAE server authorizes and anonymizes the API logs (if not performed by CCF) and abstracts based on exposure level. The exposure level can be known based on pre-configuration by the OAM or based on the subscription and type of invoker. The ADAE server then derives analytics on the target service API(s) based on the logs received from the CCF. Such analytics are predictions/stats for the API status based on the analytics event. 9. The ADAE server sends the analytics as event notifications to all the subscribing entities that have subscribed for the event matching the criteria. If a notification reception information is available as part of the subscribing entity event subscription, then the notification reception information is used by the ADAE server to send event notifications to the subscribing entity.

8.8 Procedure for supporting edge load analytics
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.8.1 General
This clause describes two procedures (covering both subscribe-notify and request-response models in 8.8.2.1 and 8.8.2.2 respectively) for supporting edge load analytics, where the edge analytics are performed based on data collected from the EDN (EAS and/or EES) and A-ADRF.

8.8.2 Procedure
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.8.2.1 Subscribe-notify model
Figure 8.8.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure for edge load analytics enablement solution. Pre-conditions: 1. ADAES has discovered the APIs to access the edge services at EDN. 2. ADAES has subscribed to OAM and NWDAF for receiving management and DN performance analytics respectively. 3. Data producers (e.g. A-ADRF, EAS, EES) may be pre-configured with data producer profiles (as in Table 8.2.4.8-1) for the data they can provide. ADAES and ADAEC have discovered available data producers and their data producer profiles. Figure 8.8.2.1-1: ADAES support for edge analytics 1. The consumer of the ADAES analytics service sends an edge analytics subscription request to ADAES. 2. The ADAES sends an edge analytics subscription response as an ACK to the analytics consumer. 3. The ADAES maps the analytics event ID to a list of data collection event identifiers, and a list of data producer IDs. Such mapping may be preconfigured by OAM or may be determined by ADAES based on the analytics event ID and/or data producer profile (Table 8.2.4.8-1). Such Data Producers can be EASs onboarded to EDN, EESs, A-ADRF, as well as MEC Platform services. 4. The ADAES sends a subscription request to the Data Producers (EASs onboarded to EDN, EESs, A-ADRF, ADAEC) or the A-DCCF with the respective Data Collection Event ID and the requirement for data collection. 5. The Data Producers (e.g., EASs onboarded to EDN, EESs, A-ADRF, ADAEC) or the A-DCCF send a subscription response as a positive or negative acknowledgement to the ADAES. 6. The ADAES based on subscription receive offline stats/data on the edge DN load based on the analytics/data collection event ID from A-ADRF. Such stats can be about the load in terms of number of EAS or EES connections for a given area or time window, or the average edge computational resource usage or usage ratio based on the EDN total resource availability, EDN overload/high load indication events, probability of EAS/EES unavailability due to high load, etc. 7. The Data Producers at the edge start collecting data from the data generating entities. Such data can be measurements or analytics based on the data source/producer, as follows: - from OAM or EAS/ASP (for EAS load info): Per EAS/EES computational resource load, number of connections per EES/EAS - from N6 endpoint: N6 load - from 5GC / NWDAF: DN performance analytics - from OAM / MDAS: UPF load analytics (per DNAI) - from MEC platform services (e.g., RNIS): per cell radio conditions / load for all cells within EDN coverage NOTE 1: How the ADAES obtains the EAS load information from EAS/ASP is up to implementation. NOTE 2: Steps 6 and 7 are not necessarily sequential and can be performed in parallel or in different order. 8. If in step 4 ADAES sent a subscription request to ADAEC as Data Producer, data collection is initiated by ADAEC from UE data generating entities. NOTE 3: Data collection at the UE reuses the SA4 mechanism based on EVEX study (TS 26.531 [3]). 9. The edge Data Producers (targets of the subscription requests in step 4) send the data to the ADAES (based on step 7 measurements or analytics) as a data notification message. Such data can be about the load in terms of number of EAS or EES connections for a given area or time window, or the average edge computational resource usage or usage ratio based on the EDN total resource availability, EDN overload/high load indication events, probability of EAS/EES unavailability due to high load, etc. 10. ADAEC sends data (periodically or if a threshold is reached based on configuration) about the edge load as collected at the UE, e.g. in terms of number of AC or EEC connections for a given UE in a given time window, number of edge service sessions, etc. 11. The ADAES derives edge analytics on EDN / DNAI load or per EES/EAS load, based on the analytics ID and type of request. The analytics are derived based on the performance analytics received per DN or load analytics per DNAI/UPF; as well as considering measurements on the computational or RAN resource load or number of connections for the EES/EASs which are active at the EDN. 12. The ADAES sends the edge analytics to the consumer, based on the request and the derived analytics in step 9. Such analytics indicate a prediction of the EDN load considering inputs from both 5GS as well as from edge platform services. Such prediction can also be in form of a recommendation for triggering an EAS relocation to a different platform.

8.8.2.2 Request-response model
Figure 8.8.2.2-1 illustrates the procedure for the analytics consumer to request analytics data of the application server(s) from the ADAE server. Figure 8.8.2.2-1: ADAES support for edge analytics 1. The analytics consumer sends a request message to the ADAE server to receive analytics data for one or more application servers. The request message includes the identity of the analytics consumer, security credential(s) for authorization and verification, identity of all the application server for which analytics data is requested, type of analytics data, time duration since when analytics data is required. 2. Upon receiving the request, the ADAE server authenticates and authorizes the analytics consumer. If the analytics consumer is authorized, the ADAE server may get the analytics by performing step 3 to 11 of clause 8.8.2.1. The ADAE server sends a response message including the statistical and predictive analytics of the edge performance/load for the edge platform or EES/EAS for the requested duration period (if the time duration is available).

8.9 Procedure on Service experience to support application performance analytics
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.9.1 General
When Application server (like VAL server) is not available to provide analytics data due to overload or any other reasons or the application server is not providing the required quality of service experience at the UE side, the ADAE server may need to rely on alternate information sources like the application clients (like VAL clients) that provide the visibility on application service status. ADAE server can use this information from the clients alone, for the predictions and share with the consumer of the analytics. This clause provides a mechanism for the ADAE client to send service experience report to the ADAE server. ADAE server upon receiving the service experience information from the UE side entities can use it for predictions of application performance analytics. NOTE: In this solution, if DDCC client is available in the UE, ADAE server uses data collection and reporting mechanisms as defined in 3GPP TS 26.531 [3], where the ADAE client acts as a UE application and ADAE server acts as an AF from Application service provider. The indirect reporting procedure (between ADAE client and ADAE server over ADAE-UU interface) may be used when a Direct Data Collection Client is not available in the UE.

23.436
8.9.2 Procedure
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.9.2.1 Push service experience information
The ADAE client determines the service experience information based on information received from the VAL client. The service experience information includes application specific performance measurements like end-to-end response time, connection bandwidth, request rate, server availability time, etc. On request from VAL client or any other trigger conditions, the ADAE client sends the service experience report about a VAL server to the ADAE server. The ADAE client may use the direct reporting mechanism as defined in clause 5.5 of 3GPP TS 26.531 [3]. The indirect reporting procedure (between ADAE client and ADAE server over ADAE-UU interface) may be used when a Direct Data Collection Client is not available in the UE or when the ADAE server (having Indirect Data Collection Client) needs to modify the collected UE data to satisfy the requirements of its data collection and reporting configuration. The information elements as defined in clause 8.9.3.1 are used by ADAE client to send the request and clause 8.9.3.2 are used by ADAE server to send the response. For direct reporting, if data reporting session is not available, the ADAE client creates data reporting session as specified in clause 5.4 of 3GPP TS 26.531 [3]. Once data reporting session is available, the ADAE client (acting as a UE client) sends reports to ADAE server using direct reporting method as specified in clause 5.5 of 3GPP TS 26.531 [3]. For indirect reporting, Figure 8.9.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure where the ADAE client pushes the service experience information to the ADAE server. Figure 8.9.2.1-1: Push service experience informtion from UE 1. The ADAE client sends Push service experience request to the ADAE server. The request contains service experience report about a VAL server and includes the information elements as specified in Table 8.9.3.1-1. 2. The ADAE server sends Push service experience response to the ADAE client. 3. Upon receiving the Push service experience request from the ADAE client, the ADAE server uses the service experience report for derivation of VAL server performance analytics. Once UE data is collected (either using direct reporting or indirect reporting), the ADAE server may take further actions based on the analysis of the report as shared by the ADAE client. A service experience information from certain UEs, can trigger the ADAE server to fetch further service experience information from other UEs. The ADAE server can use the service experience information report from other UEs to determine/predict analytics. - If most of the UE side entities report similar service experience, then it could be the application server problem across globally. - If only some UEs report a bad service experience, the problem could be localized among a group of UEs. - If the bad service experience from only one UE, the problem is localized to the UE.
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.9.2.2 Pull service experience information
The procedure can be initiated by the ADAE server upon receiving a service experience from an ADAE client, to fetch service experience information from other ADAE clients or upon receiving VAL server performance analytics request from application service provider (application server) or any other event that requires the ADAE server to determine the service experience data. Figure 8.9.2.2-1: Pull service experience information from UE 1. The ADAE server sends Pull service experience information request to the ADAE client. The request contains identifier of the specific VAL server and VAL service ID, for which the service experience report is required, as mentioned in Table 8.9.3.3-1. 2. Upon receiving the Pull service experience information request from the ADAE server, the ADAE client may take user consent to send the report if the user consent is not available already. 3. The ADAE client sends the Pull service experience information response to the ADAE server. The ADAE client instructs the Direct Data Collection Client to prioritise immediate delivery of a UE data report to the Data Collection AF as specified in clause 5.5 of 3GPP TS 26.531 [3]. The service experience contains parameters as specified in Table 8.9.3.4-1. 4. The ADAE server uses the service experience report for derivation of VAL server performance analytics.
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.9.2.3 Service experience information based on triggers
The ADAE server configures triggers to the ADAE client to send the service experience report using the mechanism defined in clause 5.4 of 3GPP TS 26.531 [3]. The procedure can be initiated by the ADAE server upon receiving VAL server performance analytics request from application service provider (application server). The information elements as defined in clause 8.9.3.5 are used by ADAE server to send the request and clause 8.9.3.6 are used by ADAE client to send the response.

23.436
8.10.2.1 Notification based data storage
Figure 8.10.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure for consumer to request A-ADRF to initiate request for data or analytics to store. Pre-conditions: 1. Analytics or data consumer requests ADAE server, A-DCCF or data sources to store analytics or data to A-ADRF. 2. ADAE server, A-DCCF or A-ADRF are configured with default operator storage policies. Figure 8.10.2.1-1: Support for data storage to A-ADRF 1. The consumer (A-DCCF or ADAE server) determines that data and/or analytics needs to be stored to the A-ADRF, or requests the A-ADRF subscribes to Data Producer for receiving notifications. The determination may be made based on configuration or information supplied by the data or analytics. As specified in Table 8.10.3.2-1, the request to the A-ADRF specifies the data and/or analytics to which the A-ADRF will subscribe. The request includes identity of the consumer, security credential(s) for authorization and verification, Storage Handling information (e.g. a lifetime for how long the data or analytics should be stored, indicate that a notification alerting the consumer be sent prior to data deletion from the A-ADRF). 2. The A-ADRF may, based on implementation, determine whether the same data and/or analytics is already stored or being stored, based on the information sent in step 1 by the consumer. Based on Storage Handling information, the A-ADRF determines the Storage Approach (e.g. lifetime for storing data and whether consumer is notified prior to data deletion). 3. If the data and/or analytics is already stored and/or being stored in the A-ADRF, the A-ADRF sends data storage subscription response message to the consumer indicating that data and/or analytics is stored. As specified in Table 8.10.3.3-1, the A-ADRF includes the Storage Approach if determined in step 2. 4. The A-ADRF subscribes to the data producer (e.g. A-DCCF, ADAE server) to receive notifications with data or analytics, providing its notification endpoint address and a notification correlation ID. 5. The data producer sends data or analytics notifications containing the notification correlation ID provided by the A-ADRF to notification endpoint address. The analytics or data notifications shall contain timestamp. The ADRF stores the notifications.

8.10.2.2 Direct data storage
Figure 8.10.2.2-1 illustrates the procedure for the consumer to request A-ADRF for data or analytics storage. Pre-conditions: 1. ADAE server or A-DCCF has data or analytics need to store to A-ADRF. 2. ADAE server, A-DCCF or A-ADRF are configured with default operator storage policies. Figure 8.10.2.2-1: Support for data storage to A-ADRF 1. The consumer (e.g. ADAE server, A-DCCF) sends data storage request to the A-ADRF for storing data and/or analytics. The request message includes identity of the consumer, security credential(s) for authorization and verification, collected data with timestamp and/or analytics with timestamp, Storage Handling information (e.g. a lifetime for how long the data or analytics should be stored, indicate that a notification alerting the consumer be sent prior to data deletion from the A-ADRF) , as specified in Table 8.10.3.4-1. 2. Based on Storage Handling information (if available), the A-ADRF determines the Storage Approach (e.g. lifetime for storing data and whether consumer is notified prior to data deletion). 3. The A-ADRF stores the data and/or analytics sent by the consumer. The A-ADRF may, based on implementation, determine whether the same data and/or analytics is already stored or being stored based on the information sent in step 1 by the consumer and, if the data and/or analytics is already stored or being stored in the A-ADRF, the A-ADRF decides to not store again the data and/or analytics sent by the consumer. 4. The ADRF sends data storage response message to the consumer indicating that data and/or analytics is stored, whether the A-ADRF determined at step 3 that data or analytics is already stored and the Storage Approach, as specified in Table 8.10.3.5-1.

23.436
8.11.2.1 Subscribe-notify model
Figure 8.11.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure for edge computing preparation analytics. Pre-conditions: 1. ADAES is connected to A-ADRF. 2. ADAES has subscribed to OAM for receiving management analytics. Figure 8.11.2.1-1: ADAES support for edge computing preparation analytics subscribe-notify model 1. The analytics consumer (e.g., VAL server, ECS, EES) of the ADAE server analytics service sends an Edge computing preparation analytics subscription request to the ADAE server. 2. The ADAE server sends an Edge computing preparation analytics response as an ACK to the analytics consumer. 3. The ADAE server utilizes OAM (Network Resource Model) for edge deployment time information for EAS, EES, or ECS. The deployment time information is determined from the Process Monitor that specifies, for instance, NOT_STARTED, RUNNING and start and/or end time for these states as described in 3GPP TS 28.623 [15]. 4. The ADAE server requests historical edge deployment time information of EAS, EES, and/or ECS from A-ADRF by sending an Edge computing preparation data request. 5. Based on the request, the ADAE server receives historical edge deployment time information of EAS, EES, and/or ECS by receiving an Edge computing preparation data response from A-ADRF. 6. The ADAE server collects EAS and/or EES instantiation triggering time and their registration time from the corresponding EES/ECS to determine when the instantiation request is sent to OAM and when EAS/EES service is ready. 7. The ADAE server abstracts or correlates the data/analytics from step 3-6. Based on the request in step 1, ADAES may also provide predictions for the edge deployment time. 8. The ADAE server sends an Edge computing preparation analytics notification to the analytics consumer, based on the request and the derived analytics in step 7. Such analytics indicate analytics and/or prediction of the edge deployment time for EAS, EES, and/or ECS.

8.12.2 Procedure
20479eb37624e17cc85fa37e0dbf82f7
23.436
8.12.2.1 Subscribe-notify model
Figure 8.12.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure for consumer to request A-DCCF to initiate subscription for data or analytics collection. The procedure may be utilized by the consumer to update the subscription for data or analytics collection. Pre-conditions: 1. Consumer (ADAE server) collects data or analytics via A-DCCF from data producer. Figure 8.12.2.1-1: Support for data collection over A-DCCF 1. The consumer (ADAE server) sends a data collection subscription request to A-DCCF for collecting data/analytics. As specified in Table 8.12.3.2-1, the request message includes identifier of the consumer (ADAE server ID), Data Collection Event ID, and Data Collection Requirements. The request message may include the identifier of Data Producer, Analytics ID, target data producer profile criteria, process requirements, Area of Interest, Time validity, storage requirements, and notification endpoints. The consumer decides to go via A-DCCF based on internal configuration. 2. If the data producer is not identified by the consumer, the A-DCCF determines the data procedure that can provide data/analytics. If the consumer requested storage of data/analytics in an A-ADRF but the A-ADRF ID is not provided by the consumer, or the collected data/analytics is to be stored in an A-ADRF according to configuration on the A-DCCF, the A-DCCF selects an A-ADRF to store the collected data/analytics. 3. The A-DCCF determines whether the data/analytics requested in step 1 are already being collected. If the requested data/analytics are already being collected by a consumer, the A-DCCF adds the new consumer to the list of consumers that are subscribed for these data/analytics. 4. If the data/analytics subscribed in step 1 is not being collected by the A-DCCF, the A-DCCF subscribes to the data producer for data/analytics. If the data/analytics subscribed in step 1 partially matches the data/analytics that is already being collected by the A-DCCF, a modification of this subscription to the data producer would satisfy both the existing data/analytics subscriptions as well as the newly requested data/analytics, the A-DCCF requests an update of the previous subscription to the data producer. The A-DCCF adds the consumer to the list of consumers that are subscribed for these data/analytics. 5. Upon received the data/analytics subscription request from the A-DCCF, the data producer determines whether the required data/analytics can be provided and sends data/analytics subscription response to the A-DCCF. 6. The A-DCCF sends data/analytics subscription response to the consumer. 7. When the required data/analytics are available, the data producer notifies the data/analytics to the A-DCCF. 8. The A-DCCF notifies the data/analytics to all notification endpoints indicated in step 1. Data/analytics sent to notification endpoints may be processed by the DCCF upon to the request in step 1. The DCCF may store the data/analytics in the A-ADRF if requested by the consumer or if required by A-DCCF configuration.

8.12.2.2 Request-response model
Figure 8.12.2.2-1 illustrates the procedure for the consumer to request A-DCCF for data or analytics collection. Figure 8.12.2.2-1: Support for Get data/analytics over A-DCCF 1. The consumer (ADAE server) sends a Get data/analytics request to A-DCCF for data/analytics collection. As specified in Table 8.12.3.5-1, the request message includes identifier of the consumer (ADAE server ID), and Data/Analytics Requirements. The request message may include the identifier of Data Producer, Analytics ID, target data producer profile criteria, process requirements, storage requirements, and notification endpoints. The consumer decides to go via A-DCCF based on internal configuration. 2. The A-DCCF determines whether the data/analytics requested in step 1 are already being collected. If the requested data/analytics are already being collected by a consumer, the A-DCCF adds the new consumer to the list of consumers that are subscribed for these data/analytics. 3. If the data/analytics requested in step 1 is not being collected by the A-DCCF, and the data producer is not identified by the consumer, the A-DCCF determines the data procedure that can provide data/analytics. If the consumer requested storage of data/analytics in an A-ADRF but the A-ADRF ID is not provided by the consumer, or the collected data/analytics is to be stored in an A-ADRF according to configuration on the A-DCCF, the A-DCCF selects an A-ADRF to store the collected data/analytics. 4. The A-DCCF sends Get data/analytics request to the data producer for data/analytics. 5. Upon received the data/analytics request from the A-DCCF, the data producer determines whether the required data/analytics can be provided and sends data/analytics response to the A-DCCF. The required data/analytics may be contained in the response if they are available at the data producer. 6. The A-DCCF sends data/analytics response to the consumer. The required data/analytics may be contained in the response if get from the data producer.

8.13.2 Procedure
Figure 8.13.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure for server-to-server performance analytics. Pre-conditions: 1. ADAES is connected to A-ADRF and the target server (server#1). Figure 8.13.2.1-1: ADAES support for server-to-server performance analytics 1. The analytics consumer (e.g., VAL server, EES) of the ADAE server analytics service sends a server-to-server analytics subscription request to the ADAE server. Such request can include whether the analytics notification shall be periodic or based on an expected application QoS change (in that case also the thresholds can be provided at the request) 2. The ADAE server sends a server-to-server analytics subscription response as an ACK to the analytics consumer. 3. The ADAE server identifies server#1 where the session performance analytics need to be performed. The ADAES server sends an Inter-server data request to server #1. Such request includes QoS attributes to be analysed (latency, bitrate, jitter, application layer PER) based on the request in step 1. 4. Bases on the request, measurement may be started between the server#1 and server#2. Such data can be about the latency, throughput, jitter, QoE measurements, PQI load, etc. NOTE: How the measurement is collected is out of 3GPP scope. The measurement data can be already available in server#1 or server#2. 5. Server#1 sends the analytics to the ADAE server in an Inter-server data response message. 6. The ADAE server requests historical inter-server performance analytics from A-ADRF by sending a Server-to-server analytics request. 7. Based on the request, the ADAE server receives historical inter-server performance analytics by receiving a Server-to-server analytics response from A-ADRF. 8. The ADAE server abstracts or correlates the data/analytics from step 5-7. Based on the request in step 1, ADAES may also provide predictions for performance change. 9. The ADAE server sends a server-to-server analytics notification to the analytics consumer.
