Section: 6.38.2.9 Creation and Management
Content: The 5G system shall support a mechanism for the network operator to provision an eRG with: - policies on which transport (e.g. wireless, cable, etc.) is best suited for different negotiated QoS levels, - authentication credentials, - identification, - initial OA&M information, and - associated subscription The 5G system shall enable the network operator to configure a PRAS with: - radio settings pertaining to licensed spectrum, - authentication credentials, - identification, - initial OA&M information, and - associated subscription. Subject to operator policy, the 5G system shall enable the Authorised Administrator to provision a PRAS with UE access considerations (allowing all UEs, or allowing specific UEs only) The 5G system shall provide a mechanism for the Authorised Administrator to trigger initial provisioning of an eRG. The 5G system shall provide a mechanism for the Authorised Administrator to trigger initial provisioning of a PRAS. The 5G system shall support mechanisms for a network operator or authorized 3rd party (e.g., a PIN User) to create, remove and manage a PIN, including: - Authorizing/deauthorizing PIN Elements; - Authorizing/deauthorizing PIN Elements with Management Capability; - Authorizing/deauthorizing PIN Elements with Gateway Capability; - Establishing duration of the PIN; - Configure PIN Elements to enable service discovery of other PIN Elements; - Authorize/deauthorise if a PIN Element can use a PIN Element with Gateway Capability to communicate with the 5GS; - Authorize/deauthorise for a PIN Element(s): - which other PIN Element it can communicate with, - which applications/service or service in that PIN it can access, - which PIN Element it can use as a relay. - Authorize/deauthorise a UE to perform service discovery of PIN Elements over the 5G network; - Configure a PIN Element for external connectivity e.g.via 5G system; NOTE1: The authorization can include the consideration of the location and time validity of the PIN and its PIN elements. The 5G system shall support a mechanism to enable a UE that is not a PIN Element of the PIN or a non-3GPP device that is not a PIN element of the PIN to request to join the PIN. The 5G system shall support mechanisms for a network operator to configure the following policies in a PIN: - Configure the connectivity type (e.g. licensed, unlicensed PIN direct connection) a PIN Element can use. 5G system shall be able to support mechanism to provide life span information of the PIN to the authorized 3rd party or the PIN elements when the PIN is created for limited time span. The 5G system shall provide means to control which UEs can connect to a PRAS. The 5G system shall support mechanisms to provision a PIN Element to use either licensed (under control of a MNO) or unlicensed spectrum (may be under the control of the MNO, or not) (e.g., when it has no connectivity to the 5G system).
