Company A is located in an industrial campus. There are three internal applications used by employees for daily work which are based on two network slices. App A is for internal communication. App B is for production control. App C is for office automation. A and C are running on one slice, while B running on a separate slice. The data of these three applications are all dealt with a locally deployed UPF in this campus. The operator provides the additional service of exposing energy consumption of locally deployed UPF. Company A find that energy consumption of the UPF become higher recently, but cannot find out the cause, hope that 5G system can help to analysis which users or application are abnormal.
5G system analysis the data volume on this UPF and energy consumption of each app periodically.
Requirements for DV measurement control and Power, Energy and Environmental (PEE) measurement has been defined to support for 5G NF measurement control.
In SA5, clause 6.7.3.3 of TS 28.554, Network Slice Energy Consumption are introduced.
In SA2, quota for PDU sessions per network slice and user numbers are already defined.
