Geolocation-based network slice allocations for dynamic edge computing resource management

A telecommunications network, the network comprising:

• an operator core network;
• at least one edge server coupled to a core network edge of the operator core network;
• at least one radio access network coupled to the operator core network, wherein the at least one radio access network establishes one or more communication links between the operator core network and one or more user equipment (UE);
• and
• at least one network function executed on one or more processors of the operator core network to perform one or more operations to:
• determine event data corresponding to a planned event instance within a coverage area of the at least one radio access network, wherein the event data includes at least an indication of an event type and an event location;
• assign a network service classification to the planned event instance based at least on the event type;
• orchestrate a service augmentation platform on the at least one edge server, the service augmentation platform orchestrated to support a network slice based at least on the network service classification and the at least one edge server selected from a plurality of edge servers based at least on a proximity of the at least one edge server to the at least one radio access network;
• and
• selectively allocate the network slice providing access to the service augmentation platform to the one or more UE in communication with the at least one radio access network within a geolocation region associated with the event location.

A method comprising:

• determining, using a network function of an operator core network for a telecommunications network, event data corresponding to a planned event instance, wherein the event data includes at least an indication of an event type and an event location;
• assign the planned event instance with a network service classification based at least on the event type;
• orchestrating a service augmentation platform on an edge server of the operator core network, the service augmentation platform orchestrated to support a network slice based at least on the network service classification and the edge server selected from a plurality of edge servers based at least on a proximity of the edge server to at least one radio access network having a coverage area that includes at least a portion of the event location;
• and
• selectively allocate the network slice providing access to the service augmentation platform to one or more user equipment (UE) in communication with the at least one radio access network based on a location of the one or more UE with respect to a geolocation region associated with the event location.
