Abstract
This application provides a network slice deployment method. The method may include obtaining, by a first network manager, node instance information, determining, by the first network manager, transmission requirement information corresponding to the node instance information, and sending a transmission request message to a transport network manager. The node instance information may include identifier information of a node instance or a network address of a node instance, and the transmission request message may include the transmission requirement information and the node instance information.
Claims20
A network slice deployment method, comprising:
- sending, by a first network manager, network slice subnet requirement information to a second network manager, wherein the network slice subnet requirement information indicates a requirement for deploying a network slice subnet instance, the network slice subnet instance comprises one or more node instances, the network slice subnet requirement information is decomposed into node requirement information that indicates a requirement for deploying a node instance, and the node instance is a network function device or a network element device;
- after a deployment of the node instance based on the network slice subnet requirement information, obtaining, by the first network manager, node instance information, wherein the node instance information comprises identifier information of the node instance or a network address of the node instance;
- determining, by the first network manager, transport requirement information corresponding to the node instance information, wherein the transport requirement information comprises one or more of a transport deployment specification, a latency, bandwidth, location constraint information, affinity and anti-affinity rules, bearer information, a network type, a reliability requirement, a mobility requirement, or isolation requirement information;
- and
- sending, by the first network manager, a transport request message to a transport network manager, wherein the transport request message carries the transport requirement information and the node instance information.
2 more elements
A network manager, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory is configured to store a program, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to invoke the program in the at least one memory, wherein the program instructs the network manager to:

- after a deployment of the node instance based on the network slice subnet requirement information, obtain node instance information, wherein the node instance information comprises identifier information of the node instance or a network address of the node instance;
- determine transport requirement information corresponding to the node instance information, wherein the transport requirement information comprises one or more of a transport deployment specification, a latency, bandwidth, location constraint information, affinity and anti-affinity rules, bearer information, a network type, a reliability requirement, a mobility requirement, or isolation requirement information;
- and
- send a transport request message to a transport network manager, wherein the transport request message comprises the transport requirement information and the node instance information.
