Avoid telco specific terminology in APIs #108

Closed RandyLevensalor closed 1 year ago

RandyLevensalor commented 1 year ago

There appears to be a preference to using mobile / 3GPP specific terminology for the APIs. This makes it confusing for adding wireline networks. Plus API consumers may not be familiar with 3GPP terminology.

One example is using UE to describe a user device. This is included in the commonalities documentation and the QualityOnDemand API.

Moving to something access network independent could improve the clarity of the APIs for the API consumers and wireline providers. Instead of UE, we could use device, user device, or target device for managing the local device. This would also preclude a SIM as a part of the northbound APIs.
