Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for managing a network slice parameter. One apparatus includes a transceiver and processor that receives a request from a first reporting network function comprising an indication for a status change of a network slice parameter for admission control. The processor sends a request to a global network slice admission control function about the status change of the network slice parameter and receives a response from the global network slice admission control function, said response comprising a result indication for the network slice parameter.
Claims18
A method of a proxy network slice admission control function for managing a network slice parameter in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first reporting network function, a first request comprising an indication for a status change of a network slice parameter for admission control;
- determining whether a first quota is reached for the network slice parameter;
- sending, to a primary network slice admission control function, a second request about the status change of the network slice parameter upon determining that the first quota is reached;
- and
- receiving, from the primary network slice admission control function, a response comprising an indication that a maximum value of the network slice parameter is reached and an indication of a second quota.
A proxy network slice admission control apparatus in a mobile communication network, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory and configured to cause the proxy network slice admission control apparatus to:
- receive, from a first reporting network function, a first request comprising an indicator for a status change of a network slice parameter for admission control;
- determine whether a first quota is reached for the network slice parameter;
- send, to a primary network slice admission control function, a second request about the status change of the network slice parameter upon determining that the first quota is reached;
- and
- receive from the primary network slice admission control function, a response comprising an indication that a maximum value of the network slice parameter is reached and a second quota.
A primary network slice admission control apparatus in a mobile communication network, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory and configured to cause the primary network slice admission control apparatus to:
- receive, from a proxy network slice admission control function, a request indicating a status change for a network slice parameter for admission control;
- determine whether a first quota for the network slice parameter is reached;
- and
- send, to the proxy network slice admission control function, a response comprising an indication that a maximum value of the first quota for the network slice parameter is reached and a second quota for the network slice parameter.
A method performed by a primary network slice admission control function in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a proxy network slice admission control function, a request indicating a status change for a network slice parameter for admission control;
- determining whether a first quota for the network slice parameter is reached;
- and
- sending, to the proxy network slice admission control function, a response comprising an indication that a maximum value of the network slice parameter is reached and a second quota for the network slice parameter.
