摘要: A system may receive a first definition for a virtualized instance of a network function. The first definition may include a first set of declarations in a first format that is different than respective formats supported by different virtualized environments. The system may select a first virtualized environment to run the virtualized instance based on requirements specified within the first definition, and may generate a second definition with a second set of declarations that map the first set of declarations from the first format to a second format supported by the first virtualized environment. The system may deploy the virtualized instance to the first virtualized environment using the second set of declarations from the second definition. Deploying the virtualized instance may include configuring its operation based on some of the second set of declarations matching a configuration format supported by the first virtualized environment.

摘要: A network device may receive Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) and network information from network components and from a set of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes; generate descriptions of, or updates to the descriptions of, routing paths based on the NSSAI and the network information; and send the descriptions or the updates to the IAB nodes. The routing paths may include one or more backhaul links between the IAB nodes, and the descriptions and the updates associate each of the routing paths with one or more Single-NSSAIs (S-NSSAIs).

摘要: A method may include identifying service requirements associated with a network service, identifying at least one analytics component to monitor the network service and identifying network functions to implement the network service. The method may also include deploying the network functions to monitor the network service, deploying the at least one analytics component and obtaining data associated with monitoring the network service. The method may further include forwarding, by the network functions, the data to the at least one analytics component and determining, by the least one analytics component, whether to take a control action with respect to the network service.

摘要: Systems and methods enable the provisioning of security as a service for network slices. A network device stores definitions of multiple security assurance levels for network slices based on security parameters of assets used in the network slices. The network device stores multiple network slice templates, wherein the multiple network slice templates have different security assurance levels, of the multiple security assurance levels, for a Network Service Descriptor (NSD). The network device receives a request for a network slice with a requested security assurance level, of the multiple security assurance levels, for the NSD, and deploys the network slice using one of the network slice templates that has a security assurance level that corresponds to the requested security assurance level. The network device monitors the security parameters of the assets of the network slice for changes to the security assurance level of the deployed network slice.

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 relate to: receiving a request for session, from a first device over a wireless link, for a service, wherein the request includes a Single-Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) that is associated with the service; determine a priority for the session based on the S-NSSAI; and performing, based on the determined priority, an uplink procedure or a downlink procedure for the session. A network include the network component that receives the request for session.

摘要: A device associated with a home network may receive an access point name (APN) request from a device associated with a visitor network, wherein the APN request is associated with a user device. The device associated with the home network may cause, based on the APN request, a virtual home network to be instantiated that includes a virtual gateway, wherein the virtual home network is physically closer to the user device than the home network. The device associated with the home network may generate an APN that identifies the virtual home network and the virtual gateway. The device associated with the home network may cause the APN to be sent to the device associated with the visitor network to cause a gateway associated with the visitor network to connect to the virtual gateway.

摘要: A device may include a processor configured to receive a request to admit a network slice, associated with at least one requirement, in a wireless communication network. The processor may be further configured to determine a resources, associated with the wireless communication network, needed to implement the network slice; compute an estimated resource load for the network slice; compute a projected resource load for the determined resources; and determine that the resources have sufficient capacity to meet the at least one requirement associated with the network slice based on the computed estimated resource load and the projected resource load for the resources. The processor may admit the network slice to be deployed in the wireless communication network, in response to determining that the resources have sufficient capacity to meet the at least one requirement associated with the network slice.

摘要: A system may include one or more devices that with processors. The processors are configured to: receive instructions to assemble a slice service design for a network using slice design components; store the slice service design; and receive a request to deploy a slice service specified by the slice service design. The processors may be configured to: deploy the slice service in subnets of the network; or deploy services defined by portions of the slice service design in some of the subnets of the network.
