International Classification:

G06F 13/20
G06F 13/40

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

H04W 28/24
H04W 8/04
H04W 48/00

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

H04W 12/12
H04L 29/06
H04W 12/60

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

H04W 72/10
H04W 48/18
H04W 48/16
H04W 76/10

Abstract:

A device may receive a request to establish a communication session with a network. The request includes first bearer information regarding a bearer and first network slice information regarding a network slice of the network. The device may generate a first priority value, associated with the request, based on the first bearer information and the first network slice information. The device may obtain second bearer information regarding active bearers associated with existing communication sessions and second network slice information regarding one or more network slices, of the network, associated with the active bearers. The device may generate second priority values associated with the active bearers based on the second bearer information and the second network slice information. The device may compare the first priority value and the second priority values. The device may preempt one or more of the active bearers based on the comparison.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
G06F 16/245

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

H04W 24/02
G06N 20/00

Abstract:

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a polymorphic algorithm-based network slice orchestrator service is provided. The service may manage network slices based on radio access network performance metrics, core network performance metrics, network slice performance metrics, a machine learning framework, and polymorphic algorithms. The service may be applied to a multi-tier network. The service may include management of a data network access point of the network slice on a per-tier basis.

International Classification:

H04W 72/12
H04L 12/24
H04W 28/24

Abstract:

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.
