Abstract
As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for generating a network slice experience index for evaluating a network slice. In use, a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) is determined for a slice of a network. For at least one point in time, an actual QoE of the network overall is measured. A slice experience index is generated based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE. The slice of the network is evaluated using the slice experience index.
Claims19
A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a device cause the device to:
- determine a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) for a slice of a network;
- for at least one point in time, measure an actual QoE of the network overall;
- generate a slice experience index based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE;
- and
- evaluate the slice of the network using the slice experience index, wherein evaluating the slice of the network using the slice experience index includes:
- calculating a price for the slice of the network as a function of the slice experience index.
A method, comprising:
- at a computer system:
- determining a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) for a slice of a network;
- for at least one point in time, measuring an actual QoE of the network overall;
- generating a slice experience index based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE;
- evaluating the slice of the network using the slice experience index;
- notifying a user of the slice of the network about a result of the evaluation, wherein the notification enables the user to select whether to continue to use the slice of the network;
- and
- automatically removing the user from the slice when the user selects to not continue to use the slice of the network.
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory that execute the instructions to:
- determine a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) for a slice of a network;
- for at least one point in time, measure an actual QoE of the network overall;
- generate a slice experience index based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE;
- evaluate the slice of the network using the slice experience index;
- notify a user of the slice of the network about a result of the evaluation, wherein the notification enables the user to select whether to continue to use the slice of the network;
- and
- automatically remove user from the slice when the user selects to not continue to use the slice of the network.
