摘要: A device associated with a network may receive a service profile for a network slice of the network, where the service profile includes one or more service characterizations of the network slice. The device may determine, based on thresholding rules and for each service characterization, whether the service characterization requires selection from a plurality of building blocks, to obtain a group of service characterizations requiring selection. The device may select, based on selection rules and for each service characterization of the group of service characterizations requiring selection, a building block from the plurality of building blocks, to obtain selected building blocks, where the selection rules map attributes of service characterizations to building blocks. The device may stack, based on stacking rules, the selected building blocks, to obtain a slice infrastructure for the network slice. The device may deploy the slice infrastructure for the network slice in the network.

摘要: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for provisioning network resources of multi-access edge computing (MEC) networks in support of an application service session for an end device; assigning an IP address to the end device for use in a first coverage area served by a first MEC network of the MEC networks; receiving, by a first application function (AF) device at the first MEC network, a session mobility notification for the end device with respect to the first coverage area and a second coverage area served by a second MEC network of the MEC networks; setting, responsive to the session mobility notification, an allotted time for relocating the application service session from the first MEC network to the second MEC network; and transferring, during the allotted time, application context corresponding to the relocated application service session to a second AF device at the second MEC network.

摘要: A system described herein may register a particular Service-Based Interface (“SBI”) with a core network (e.g., a Fifth Generation core (“5GC”)). The core network may maintain information associating the system with the particular SBI. The system may request core network information, associated with the core network, from the core network. The core network may provide the requested core network information to the device via the registered particular SBI. The system may provide the core network information, received via the particular SBI, to a radio access network (“RAN”), such as an Open-RAN (“O-RAN”), which may modify RAN configuration parameters based on the provided core network information. The system may also receive requests for RAN information from the core network via the SBI, may obtain the information from one or more elements of the RAN, and may provide the requested RAN information to the core network via the SBI.

摘要: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-based access control service is provided. The service assigns network slice priority values to network slices that are associated with an application or a portion of an application pertaining to end devices. The service calculates a network slice priority value to manage access barring based on a congestion level, and transmits the network slice priority value to end devices. End devices may determine whether access is permitted or not based on the network slice priority value and the assigned network slice priority values associated with the network slices. The service further provides access barring information to network devices of an access network that allows the network devices to reject connection requests and release existing connections. The access barring information may include a network slice priority value and/or network slice identifiers.

摘要: Systems and methods described herein provide life cycle management for physical network function (PNFs) via an orchestrator using PNF proxies. A network device in a service provider network receives a software package for a virtual network function (VNF) serving as PNF proxy for a type of PNF. The software package includes a proxy descriptor and external virtual links (VLs) for the type of PNF. The network device associates, an instance of the PNF proxy with an installed PNF, creates the instance of the PNF proxy as a VNF in a cloud platform, and provides a record of the created instance of the PNF proxy to an active inventory system.

摘要: Systems and methods described herein use group segmentation of applications (referred to herein as “slicing classes”), based on common service requirements, to allow carriers to assign UE traffic to network slices. A UE stores slicing class definitions for use with UE Route Selection Policies (URSP). Each of the slicing class definitions include network quality of service (QoS) characteristics that are applicable to network traffic for multiple software applications. The UE maps the software applications to corresponding slicing class identifiers associated with the slicing class definitions. The UE also stores URSP rules for associating a slicing class identifier with a network slice identifier. A UE operating system sends, to a modem, one of the slicing class identifiers for an application that is requesting attachment to a wireless network. The modem sends a registration request with a selected network slice identifier based on the received slicing class identifier and the URSP rules.

摘要: A system includes one or more devices that include processors. The processors are configured to: receive a request to deploy a network slice within a network, retrieve network service descriptors, from a database, associated with the network slice; and instantiate the network slice within the network based on the network service descriptors.

摘要: Systems and methods enable data collection and analytics consumption with a generalized assurance framework using a message bus that supports a publish-subscribe model. A producer network element subscribes to a request topic on the message bus and posts, to the message bus, an announcement indicating a data topic is available from the producer network element. The producer network element receives via the message bus, the request topic including a request for the data topic and posts, to the message bus, records for the data topic in response to the request.

摘要: A method and system is described that performs dynamic slice management for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Flight path information associated with a flight path of a UAV is used to determine a predicted optimal application and a predicted optimal network slice for use by the UAV at a location along the flight path. Information associated with the predicted optimal application and the predicted optimal network slice is transmitted to the UAV for use by the UAV at the location. The available network slices to the UAV may be updated based on the determined predicted optimal slice. The UAV may adjust its usage of applications and/or slices based on the information it receives associated with the predicted optimal application and the predicted optimal network slice.

摘要: A method, system, and computer-readable medium may provide for receiving network performance indicator data associated with a network slice connected to a user equipment (UE) device via a first type of network infrastructure; determining, based on the network performance indicator data, that one or more service level agreements (SLAs) for the network slice will not be met or are not currently being met; identifying a second type of network infrastructure based on service requirements for the network slice, wherein the network requirements include the one or more SLAs and a service profile; accessing a network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) inventory to determine a supportability for the instantiation of the second type of network infrastructure; and instructing an orchestrator to deploy the second type of network infrastructure over the access network.
