Table 2
Template with the descriptors for the specification of a RAN slice.
| Attributes | Description |
| Identifiers | RAN Slice ID: Identifies the RAN Slice Instance | PLMNList: Set of PLMN(s) served through the RAN Slice | NSSAIList: Set of S-NSSAI(s) per PLMN served through the RAN slice | CellList: Set of cells where the RAN Slice can be selected |
| RRMPolicy-L3 Descriptor | Admission Control Policy: | Aggregated radio load [units: %][(QCI, ARP) pairs][cell-level, slice-level][Minimum, Maximum] | Aggregated bit rate [units: b/s] [(QCI, ARP) pairs][cell-level, slice-level][Minimum, Maximum] | Number of DRBs [(QCI, ARP) pairs][cell-level, slice-level][Minimum, Maximum] | Number of UEs [cell-level, slice-level][Minimum, Maximum] | Averaging Window: It represents the duration over which the radio load and bit rate shall be calculated |
| RRMPolicy-L2 Descriptor | Scheduling Policy: | Inter-slice scheduling: [algorithm] optionally [resource units per slice: %] | Intra-slice scheduling: [algorithm] |
