The document discusses network slicing inputs from several standards organizations: - NGMN defines network slicing and describes the basic concept. ITU refers to NGMN's definition. - ONF uses NGMN's definition of network slicing. 3GPP references NGMN in TR22.891 and other specifications. - 3GPP TR38.801 describes RAN aspects of network slicing. TR22.891 includes 13 requirements for network slicing. - ETSI NFV discusses how network slice lifecycle management interacts with NFV MANO. 5G Americas looks at the end-to-end network slicing architecture and governance.
![ITU-IMT2020 & Network Slicing
The basic concept of the Network Softwarization is “Slicing” as defined in [ITU-T Y.3011], [ITU-T Y.3012].
Slicing allows logically isolated network partitions (LINP) with a slice being considered as a unit of
programmable resources such as network, computation and storage. Considering the wide variety of
application domains to be supported by 5G or IMT-2020 network, it is necessary to extend the concept of
slicing to cover a wider range of use cases than those targeted by the current SDN/NFV technologies, and
the need to address a number of issues on how to utilize slices created on top of programmable software
defined infrastructure.

- 11. 5G Americas Network Slicing Management & ETSI NFV Also mentioning 3GPP SA5 recently started new study item: “Study on management and orchestration of network slicing for next generation network” (FS-MONETS). The Network Slice Life Cycle Management would typically interact with ETSI NFV MANO for these virtualized network services and functions, as shown in Figure 11, with an open Nsl-Ma interface, with Nsl standing for “network slice.” However, the PNF would be managed outside of MANO, as well as subnetwork parts composed of connection of PNF. This would require the Network Slice Life Cycle Management to also interface with a non-virtualized life cycle management & operation environment, as shown on Figure 11, with an open Nsl-PN interface, with PN standing for “Physical Network.”
