name: NOP
full_form: Network Operator
context: The NOP provides network slice service to satisfy CSPâs requirements. A CSP needs a performance-guaranteed network slice to deliver its service, and subscribes a network slice instance from the NOP based on network sliceâs performance data (e.g. latency) and/or usage (e.g. volume, duration, number of connections). Based on the subscription, during the operation phase, the NOP creates/activates a new NSI or allocates existing NSI. The NOP starts the collection of charging information and enables the NSI charging information collection based on subscription and actual usage. If measurement method is usage, the NOP collects the NSI usage for CSP. If measurement method is performance data, the NOP collects performance data. Based on the subscription and collection, the NOP records and report the shared NSI charging information per CSP. The NOP (Network Operator) is the network slice provider, the CSP is the network slice customer. The potential charging requirements for this UC are:
description: The Network Operator (NOP) is an entity that provides network services and manages network resources to satisfy the requirements of Communication Service Providers (CSPs). In the context of 3GPP TS 32.845, the NOP is responsible for creating, activating, and managing network slice instances (NSIs) based on CSP subscriptions and usage.
explanation: The NOP is classified as an Organization because it is described in the context as a separate entity that provides services to CSPs, manages network resources, and collects charging information. The NOP's role in providing network slice services and interacting with CSPs indicates its status as an organizational entity within the telecommunications ecosystem.
