Facilitating network slicing information preservation in advanced networks

First network equipment configured to operate according to a first network communication protocol, wherein the first network communication protocol does not support network slicing, the first network equipment comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, from second network equipment, network slice configuration information for a user device during a first handover of the user device from the second network equipment to the first network equipment, wherein the network slice configuration information comprises information indicative of a first network slice and a second network slice generated via a microservice of a network intelligent controller, wherein the network slice configuration information is related to a user experience for a user of the user device, and wherein the second network equipment operates according to a second network communication protocol that is different from the first network communication protocol, and wherein the second network communication protocol supports network slicing;
• and
• transmitting, to third network equipment, the network slice configuration information for the user device during a second handover of the user device from the first network equipment to the third network equipment to preserve the user experience for the user of the user device subsequent to the first handover and the second handover, wherein the third network equipment operates according to a second network communication protocol.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• generating network slices for a user equipment based on a service being executed at the user equipment, wherein the generating comprises employing a first microservice at a first network intelligent controller and a second microservice at a second network intelligent controller, wherein the network slices establish an end user experience for a user associated with the user equipment;
• based on a determination that the user equipment is to be handed over from first network equipment operating according to a 5G new radio network communication protocol to second network equipment operating according to a long term evolution network communication protocol, facilitating a first transmission that comprises first information indicative of a handover from the first network equipment to the second network equipment and second information indicative of a network slicing configuration established for the user equipment prior to the handover, wherein the network slicing configuration comprises a voice over new radio configuration;
• and
• based on a determination that the user equipment is to be handed over from the second network equipment to third network equipment operating according to the 5G new radio network communication protocol, facilitating a second transmission that comprises third information indicative of a handover from the second network equipment to the third network equipment and the second information indicative of the network slicing configuration established for the user equipment prior to the handover, wherein the second information indicative of the network slicing configuration established for the user equipment prior to the handover enables the third network equipment to establish new network slices that preserve the end user experience for the user associated with the user equipment.
