    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide new parameters for RAN configurations to manage network slices. A network device stores definitions for multiple mode parameters for a central unit (CU) of a radio access network (RAN), wherein each mode parameter defines a section of the CU that provides a relative performance level for a slice subnet over the RAN. The network device receives a slice configuration request for a network slice that identifies one of the multiple mode parameters and instantiates the network slice to operate over the section of the CU that is associated with the identified one of the multiple mode parameters. Additionally, a slice anti-affinity (SA) parameter is provided to selectively isolate network slices and improve slice reliability within the RAN.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable a runtime orchestration platform to deploy network configurations without degrading network performance or causing a network outage. According to one implementation, a network device receives a linked descriptor for deploying a network configuration in a network. The linked descriptor includes a first artifact associated with the network configuration, a unique artifact identifier for the first artifact, a network level identifier for the first artifact, and a link identifier of one or more second artifacts that are associated with the network configuration. The link identifier corresponds to a different network level than the network level identifier for the first artifact. The network device determines, based on information in the linked descriptor, if deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network and prevents deployment of the network configuration when deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network.

    Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to a secure operations, administration, and management (OAM) for remote networks service. The service may categorize performance metric (PM), fault metric (FM) data, and other types of data associated with a virtualized network device of a private network and provide such data to an OAM system of an operator network via a blockchain network or not based on the categorization. The OAM system may also manage orchestration and maintenance of the private network including the virtualized network device based on configuration data transmitted via the blockchain network or not. The virtualized network device may be a radio access network device, a core network device, or an edge server device. The secure OAM for remote networks service may also store service assurance policies as a smart contract in the blockchain network.

    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for implementing dynamic quality of service for devices are provided. Generating a classification associated with a device, connected to the wireless network through a router. Service details for the device are stored, and correspond to expected wireless network quality of service that is to be provided by the wireless network to the device and corresponds to the classification (e.g., device classification, application classification, and experience mode classification), and/or other factors such as time and location. A current wireless network quality of service obtained from the device is compared with the service details to identify a delta. Wireless network quality of service for the device is modified based upon the delta. In this way, network side modifications and/or WiFi router side modifications may be performed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods enable static analysis of Service Assurance Policies (SAPs) for conflict detection in design time and enable conflict resolution in runtime. Conflicts degrade network slice performance and can, in some cases, disable a network. According to one implementation, a network device stores, for a Service Design and Creation (SDC) function, a Unified Network Slice Assurance Template (UNSAT) with multiple SAPs for a network slice configuration. The UNSAT includes a functional block identifying a first SAP associated with a functional category of a network function, and a resource block identifying a second SAP associated with a resource category of network infrastructure. The network device performs, based on the multiple SAPs, design time conflict identification that detects when actions from the multiple SAPs that are associated with a same network function conflict with each other and provides a notification when the design time conflict identification identifies a conflict.
