Method and system for hybrid network slicing

A network device comprising:

• a processor that is configured to:
• receive a network slice request, which includes an identifier that indicates first radio access network and first core network resources associated with a first entity and second radio access network and second core network resources associated with a second entity, for a proposed network slice in a network slice;
• receive first current network analytics information pertaining to the network;
• calculate, based on the first current network analytics information and the network slice request, a network slice configuration for the proposed network slice;
• and
• provision the proposed network slice in the network according to the network slice configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a network device, wherein the instructions are configured to:

• receive a network slice request, which includes an identifier that indicates first radio access network and first core network resources associated with a first entity and second radio access network and second core network resources associated with a second entity, for a proposed network slice in a network;
• receive first current network analytics information pertaining to the network;
• calculate, based on the first current network analytics information and the network slice request, a network slice configuration for the proposed network slice;
• and
• provision the proposed network slice in the network according to the network slice configuration.
