US 2020/0052991 A1 · MOBILITY NETWORK SLICE SELECTION

Abstract

Core network slices that belong to a given operator community are efficiently tracked at the network control/user plane functions level, with rich data analytics in real-time based on their geographic instantiations. In one aspect, an enhanced vendor agnostic orchestration mechanism is utilized to connect a unified management layer with an integrated slice-components data analytics engine (SDAE), a slice performance engine (SPE), and a network slice selection function (NSSF) in a closed-loop feedback system with the serving network functions of one or more core network slices. The tight-knit orchestration mechanism provides economies of scale to mobile carriers in optimal deployment and utilization of their critical core network resources while serving their customers with superior quality.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining tracking data based on monitoring individual network functions of a core network slice that has been customized for a service provided via a communication network;
and
providing, for a network slice selection function of the communication network, access to the tracking data via a vendor agnostic interface to facilitate a scaling of a network function of the individual network functions.
