    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A slice order system may receive a request to generate a network slice configuration for providing a service via a network. The slice offer system may determine a description template associated with a network slice type. The slice offer system may determine, based on the description template and a set of deployment parameters, a description profile for the network slice configuration. The slice offer system may generate, based on the description profile and a location, a slice deployment description for the network slice configuration according to location-specific characteristics associated with resources at the location and a service level agreement associated with the request. The slice offer system may deploy the slice deployment description to permit a network slice instance to be created according to the slice deployment description.

    Abstract: A device may obtain network information associated with a network device to be installed at a particular location in a network. The device may select, based on the network information, a virtual distributed unit (vDU), of a plurality of vDUs, to be deployed on the network device. The device may generate, based on selecting the vDU, deployment information associated with the vDU, where the deployment information includes configuration information that is configured for the particular location. The device may send the deployment information to the network device to cause the vDU to be automatically deployed on the network device.

    Abstract: A RAN node may determine an aggregate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each resource block of a plurality of resource blocks, where the aggregate SNR of a given resource block of the plurality of resource blocks is based on SNRs of subcarrier frequencies of the given resource block. The RAN node may determine, based on a type of network traffic on each network slice of a plurality of network slices, an index value of each network slice of the plurality of network slices. The RAN node may map, based on the aggregate SNR of each resource block, based on the index value of each network slice, and for each resource block of the plurality of resource blocks, a resource block of the plurality of resource blocks to a network slice of the plurality of network slices.

    Abstract: A device may receive information identifying existing virtual network functions (VNFs) associated with an existing virtual radio access network (VRAN), and may receive information identifying proposed VNFs to deploy with the existing VRAN, wherein the information identifying the proposed VNFs includes VNF descriptors indicating interface dependencies associated with the proposed VNFs. The device may generate testing configurations, for testing the proposed VNFs, based on the interface dependencies, and may determine that a set of the proposed VNFs are validated based on testing the proposed VNFs with the testing configurations. The device may derive dependency constraints for the set of the proposed VNFs based on the information identifying the existing VNFs, and may select a new VNF that satisfies the dependency constraints, based on the set of the proposed VNFs. The device may cause the new VNF to be deployed with the existing VRAN.

    Abstract: A device can receive, from a node in a core network, application identifiers associated with applications accessible by a first user device. The application identifiers can be associated with latency requirements. The device can obtain, from the first user device, a first packet associated with a first packet flow. The device can compare information regarding the first packet flow, and the application identifiers to determine that the first packet is destined for a low-latency application having a specified latency range. The device can identify a first low-latency bearer that satisfies the specified latency range associated with the low-latency application. The device can map the first packet flow to the first low-latency bearer, and communicate packets, associated with the first packet flow, using the first low-latency bearer. The packets can include data packets communicated between an entity hosting the low-latency application and the first user device, while bypassing the core network.

    Abstract: In some implementations, an orchestration system may receive information regarding a containerized network function (CNF) to be deployed. The orchestration system may obtain deployment information regarding requirements for deploying the CNF, wherein the requirements include one or more of a computing requirement, a memory requirement, or a network connectivity requirement. The orchestration system may provide a request to obtain one or more recommendations regarding one or more schedulers configured to deploy CNFs associated with the requirements. The orchestration system may obtain the one or more recommendations regarding the one or more schedulers based on providing the request. The orchestration system may provide scheduler information regarding the one or more schedulers to a container management system, wherein the scheduler information is provided to cause the container management system to use the one or more schedulers to deploy the CNF on one or more computing nodes that comply with the requirements.

The application information may include requirement information including information defining a compute requirement of the application, a storage requirement of the application, and a network connectivity requirement of the application, and first capability information identifying requested capabilities of the first set of devices. The device may receive second capability information identifying actual capabilities of the second set of devices. The device may compare the first capability information and the second capability information to determine a measure of similarity between the first capability information and the second capability information. The device may generate deployment information for deploying the application on a device, of the second set of devices, based on the measure of similarity.
