Abstract
The present application provides a method and system for the operation of a management plane function to co-ordinate management of slice and slice-related resources within a communications network.
Claims25
A slice operations manager (SOM) comprising:
- a network interface for receiving data from and transmitting data to network functions connected to a network;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transient memory for storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the SOM, when instantiated by a network manager (NM) managing a plurality of slice instances on the network, to be operative to:
- manage at least one operation of at least one slice instance of the plurality of slice instances independent from the NM, based on SOM parameters provided by the NM.
2 more elements
A method executed by a slice operations manager (SOM) instantiated by a network manager (NM) operative to manage a plurality of slice instances on the network, the method comprising:
- managing at least one operation of at least one slice instance independent from, the remaining plurality of slice instances, based on SOM parameters provided by the NM.
