    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 network node may obtain a function for determining a weighted sum of service level agreement (SLA) violations within a coverage area associated with the network node. The network node may obtain weight values corresponding to respective network slices of a plurality of network slices operating within the coverage area associated with the network node. The network node may provide, to one or more devices connected via the plurality of network slices, resource grants according to a communication schedule, wherein the communication schedule is determined to minimize the weighted sum of the SLA violations. The network node may determine values of the SLA violations for the plurality of network slices during a time period and provide, to a network node controller, the values of the SLA violations for the plurality of network slices.

    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: 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 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.
