10.2.2 Procedure
Figure 10.2.2-1 illustrates the procedure for UE RAT connectivity analytics. Pre-conditions: 1. The ADAES is registered and capable of interacting with 5GS to UE mobility analytics. Figure 10.2.2-1: Procedure for supporting UE RAT connectivity analytics 1. The analytics consumer (e.g.VAL server) makes a subscription request to ADAE server for UE RAT connectivity prediction/stats, including an analytics event ID for UE RAT Connectivity analytics. The request may include also the target area, a target VAL service, or a VAL UE, or group of UEs of the VAL service, time validity. If the VAL UEs are provided by the VAL server, this request may also include the expected route or a set of waypoints for the UEs of the VAL application. 2. The ADAE server sends a UE RAT connectivity analytics subscription response as an ACK to the VAL server. 3. The ADAE server subscribes to the SEAL Location management server to get the location information of the VAL UE along with the RAT type. It can set the trigger criteria of receiving the location information of the UE whenever UE RAT type changes as specified in 3GPP TS 23.434 [2] clause 9.3.5. 4. The ADAE server subscribes for NWDAF UE mobility analytics per VAL UE (for all the VAL UEs) and gets notification on the per UE location/mobility analytics based on 3GPP TS 23.288 [4] clause 6.7.2. 5. If the data is collected from multiple sources, the ADAES combines or correlates the data/analytics from steps 3-4 and stores the data into A-ADRF if needed. 6. The ADAE server optionally requests UE RAT connectivity historical analytics/data from A-ADRF for the corresponding VAL UEs. 7. Based on the request, the ADAE server receives UE RAT connectivity historical analytics/data from A-ADRF for the corresponding VAL UEs. 8. The ADAE server abstracts or correlates the data/analytics from steps 5-6 and provides analytics on the UE RAT connectivity for the target VAL application. 9. The ADAE server sends the UE RAT connectivity analytics notification to the consumer.

Annex A (informative): Deployment scenarios A.1 General This clause provides the different deployment models for ADAE services. There could be three deployment options: - ADAES can be deployed at a centralized cloud platform, and collects data from multiple EDNs - ADAES can be deployed at the edge platform - Coordinated ADAES deployment, where multiple ADAE services are deployed in edge or central clouds. Such deployment allows for local-global analytics for system wide optimization A.2 Deployment model #1: Cloud-deployed ADAES In this deployment, as shown in Figure A.2-1, the ADAES is centrally located and can provide analytics services to different consumers including, edge servers, VAL servers, as well as to other SEAL servers (e.g. NSCE). The statistics/predictions that the ADAES provides are applicable to the ADAES service area, which can be provided for the entire PLMN. Figure A.2-1: Cloud deployed ADAES A.3 Deployment model #2 Edge-deployed ADAES In this deployment, as shown in Figure A.3-1, the ADAES is located at the EDN and provides analytics services to the EAS and EES at the edge platform. ADAES can be deployed by the ECSP or the MNO to provide analytics for the application or edge parameters. The statistics/predictions that the edge deployed ADAES are applicable to the ADAES service areas (as shown in the example in Fig A.2-2), which are equivalent to the EES/EAS service areas. Such analytics can be about the edge load or the EAS performance and can be provided to consumers within EDN. In this deployment the interaction between edge deployed ADAES is possible for exchanging edge/application analytics for application mobility scenarios or for cases when ADAES #1 and #2 service areas have overlapping coverage. Figure A.3-1: Edge deployed ADAES A.4 Deployment model #3: Coordinated ADAES deployment In this deployment, multiple ADAESs can be located at different EDNs/DNs and can be deployed by the same ADAE provider. Such coordinated deployments allow the local – global analytics derivation (which may be needed for improving the analytics confidence level). The centrally deployed ADAES can also act as ADAE analytics aggregator entity and configures the edge deployed ADAES to derive analytics on different sub-areas. One example is the use of analytics for the EDN#1 or EDN#2 load which will help predicting the VAL server performance at a centrally located ADAES. Such deployment is also applicable for ML-based analytics methods, like supervised learning, where the centrally located ADAES acts as ML model training entity, and the edge located ADAESs can act as ML model inference entities (using edge data to improve the prediction accuracy). The statistics/predictions that the edge deployed ADAES correspond to the ADAES service areas (as shown in the example in Fig A.4-1), which is equivalent to the EES/EAS service areas. The central ADAE server covers all PLMN area and is used to coordinate or jointly perform analytics with the distributed ADAES. Such analytics services can be provided to consumers at the central DN, like the VAL servers or SEAL services or even at the PLMN side (e.g. NWDAF consuming service experience analytics).

8.2.2 On-network functional model description
Figure 8.2.2-1 illustrates an on-network functional model for Spatial Anchors (SAn) service. Figure 8.2.2-1: On-network Spatial Anchors service functional model The Spatial Anchors service functional entities are grouped into the vertical application layer and the Service Enabler Architecture Layer (SEAL) layer. The Spatial Anchors service offers the capabilities to manage spatial anchors to the vertical application layer. The Spatial Anchors service functional model is based on SEAL layer as specified in 3GPP TS 23.434 [4]. The spatial anchors service functional entities on the UE and in the network are respectively the spatial anchors (SAn) client and spatial anchors (SAn) server. The VAL client and VAL server are application client and server respectively to provide an application service to the user. The SAn client and SAn server provides client and server side functionalities respectively for managing spatial anchors for the application. The SAn client is a SEAL client providing spatial anchors service to VAL client. The SAn server is a SEAL server providing spatial anchors service to VAL server and UE. The interface between SAn Client and SAn Server is SAn-UU. The SAn client interacts with the VAL client using a SAn-C interface. The SAn server interacts with the VAL server using a SAn-S. The SAn server communicates with the underlying 3GPP network system (either directly or via NEF) using network interfaces specified by the 3GPP network system (e.g. T8, N33). When SAn server is deployed by PLMN operator, the SAn server communicates with 3GPP network system by directly invoking the APIs from exposed by 3GPP core network functions. Figure 8.2.2-2: Spatial Anchors server interaction with Spatial Map Server Figure 8.2.2-2 illustrates the functional model for interconnection between SAn server and Spatial Map server.

8.3.1.1 General
Spatial anchor creation enables a SAn client or VAL server to create spatial anchor(s) with the SAn server.
26e140d21b097a2c000610e4bd7ffb34
23.437
8.3.1.2 Procedure
Figure 8.3.1.2-1 illustrates the spatial anchor creation procedure. Pre-conditions: 1. The SAn client or VAL server has received information (e.g. URI, IP address) related to the SAn server; 2. The SAn client or VAL server has received security credentials authorizing it to communicate with the SAn server. 3. For SAn client to trigger this procedure, the SAn client has received the required information from the VAL client over SAn-C interface. Figure 8.3.1.2-1: Spatial anchor creation 1. The requestor (e.g., SAn client or VAL server) sends a spatial anchor create request to the SAn server. The request includes a requestor identifier, security credentials, and list of spatial anchors to be created as described in clause 8.3.1.3.1. The request includes a position, allowed entities list defining which entities are permitted to discover and access the spatial anchor, and discoverability information (e.g., indicating whether the spatial anchor is discoverable by any user). The requestor may want to associate spatial anchor with the stationary or trackable object in the spatial map. For such cases, the request includes spatial map position with corresponding spatial map ID and object ID. If the request includes application specific spatial anchor information, that information remains opaque to the SAn server and can be stored with the spatial anchor. The request can indicate to create multiple spatial anchors. The requsted message may include one spatial anchor group ID allocated by requestor for each spatial anchor to be created, if the requestor has got an available spatial anchor group ID. If the spatial anchor group ID is not available, then the SAn server may create the spatial anchor group for the spatial anchors and associate the spatial anchor with the group. NOTE 1: The application specific spatial anchor information is out of scope of standardization. For example, the application specific spatial anchor information can contain specific service information like a URL, a media data, a type, a manufacturing company, a date, a ratings, and customer premise information (e.g. a residence, office or shop) etc. Such information may be stored in key-value pair and is opaque to the SAn server. NOTE 2: The spatial anchor group ID is available with the requestor through spatial anchor group creation or through mechanism which could be implementation specific. 2. Upon receiving the request, the SAn server validates if the requestor is authorized for the request. If the requestor is authorized, the SAn server creates the spatial anchor(s). If the request is to create spatial anchor on an object, then the SAn server can create it with spatial map position information included in the request. SAn server assigns spatial anchor identifier to the newly created spatial anchor(s) and stores the spatial anchor information. 3. The SAn server sends a spatial anchor create response to the requestor. If the SAn server created spatial anchors, the response includes an indication of success and spatial anchor identifier(s) of newly created spatial anchor(s). Otherwise, the response includes an indication of failure and can include a reason for failure.

8.3.2.2 Procedure
Figure 8.3.2.2-1 illustrates the spatial anchor update procedure. Pre-conditions: 1. The SAn client or VAL server has received information (e.g. URI, IP address) related to the SAn server; and 2. The SAn client or VAL server has received security credentials authorizing it to communicate with the SAn server. 3. For SAn client to trigger this procedure, the SAn client has received the required information from the VAL client over SAn-C interface. Figure 8.3.2.2-1: Spatial anchor update 1. The requestor (e.g., SAn client or VAL server) sends a spatial anchor update request to the SAn server. The request includes a requestor identifier, security credentials, the identifier of spatial anchors, and spatial anchor information to update as described in clause 8.3.2.3.1. The request may include information to update multiple spatial anchors. 2. Upon receiving the request, the SAn server validates if the requestor is authorized for the request. If the requestor is authorized and the spatial anchor identifier provided in the request is found, the SAn server updates the spatial anchor information based on information provided in the request. 3. The SAn server sends a spatial anchor update response to the requestor. If the SAn server updated the spatial anchor, the response includes an indication of success and the identifier of updated spatial anchor(s). Otherwise, the response includes an indication of failure and may include a reason for failure.

8.3.2.3.1 Spatial anchor update request
Table 8.3.2.3.1-1 describes information elements for the spatial anchor update request from the SAn client or VAL server to the SAn server. Table 8.3.2.3.1-1: Spatial anchor update request Information element Status Description Requestor identifier M The identifier of the requestor (e.g., VAL server or VAL UE and VAL user). Security credentials M The security credentials of the requestor. > VAL service information O Information about the application service associated with the spatial anchor. >> Service ID O The identifier of the application service. >> Service endpoint O Endpoint information (e.g., URI, FQDN, IP address) used to communicate with the application service. >> Service connection information O The connection information (e.g., DNN, DNAI(s)) for establishing connectivity to the application service. List of spatial anchors M List of spatial anchors to be updated. > Spatial anchor ID M Identifier of the spatial anchor to be updated. > Position information O Position information of the spatial anchor >> Position (NOTE) O The 3D geographic position of the spatial anchor in space (x, y and z coordinates). >> Spatial map position (NOTE) O Position information of the spatial anchor within the spatial map. It includes the identifier of the Spatial map, identifier of spatial map layer(s) and the corresponding localization information (The localization information is specific to spatial map format). Time period O Indicates time period or duration or time windows – comprising a start time and an expiry time. A spatial anchor is active during this time period. After the expiry time, the state of a spatial anchor becomes inactive. The time period may include one or more values (e.g. repeated over time/day). Spatial anchor state O Indicates the state of the spatial anchor (active or inactive). Spatial anchors in inactive state is not discoverable. Absence of this IE shall be considered as spatial anchor is in active state. Expiry handling indication O Indicates whether the spatial anchor has to be deleted or its state to be updated as inactive on expiry by the SAn server. Absence of this IE shall be considered that SAn server deletes the spatial anchor on expiry. > Application specific Spatial anchor information O A container to contain application specific information. > Service area O The service area where the spatial anchor is accessible. > Allowed entities list O Identity of entities (e.g. VAL client, VAL server or VAL service identity) which are permitted to discover the spatial anchor. NOTE: If Position information is included, at least one of the IEs shall be present.

8.3.3.2 Procedure
Figure 8.3.3.2-1 illustrates the spatial anchor deletion procedure. Pre-conditions: 1. The SAn client or VAL server has received information (e.g. URI, IP address) related to the SAn server; and 2. The SAn client or VAL server has received security credentials authorizing it to communicate with the SAn server. 3. For SAn client to trigger this procedure, the SAn client has received the required information from the VAL client over SAn-C interface. Figure 8.3.3.2-1: Spatial anchor deletion 1. The requestor (e.g., SAn client or VAL server) sends a spatial anchor delete request to the SAn server. The request includes a requestor identifier, security credentials, the identifier of spatial anchors to delete as described in clause 8.3.3.3.1. The request may include information to delete multiple spatial anchors. 2. Upon receiving the request, the SAn server validates if the requestor is authorized for the request. If the requestor is authorized and the spatial anchor identifier provided in the request is found, the SAn server deletes the spatial anchor information. If time period is present in the spatial anchor profile, the SAn server and SAn client shall monitor the time period and delete the locally stored spatial anchor information if the expiry handling indication in the profile is set to delete on expiry of the given time period. 3. The SAn server sends a spatial anchor delete response to the requestor. If the SAn server deleted the spatial anchor(s), the response includes an indication of success and the identifier of deleted spatial anchor(s). Otherwise, the response includes an indication of failure and may include a reason for failure.
