Method and Apparatus for Autoconfiguring Microslices in a Wireless Enterprise Network

A method of configuring and deploying microslices for a wireless network of an enterprise that defines an enterprise type, including the steps of:

• providing a knowledgebase that includes information associating enterprise types with at least one of the devices, applications, and microslices implemented in similar enterprise types;
• configuring a plurality of microslices responsive to the enterprise type;
• providing said plurality of microslices from the knowledgebase to the enterprise;
• and
• implementing said plurality of microslices in the enterprise wireless network.

A knowledgebase unit for providing microslice configurations to enterprise wireless communication networks that include an operator network and a Radio Access Network (RAN) having a plurality of Base Stations/Access Points (BS/APs) located within an enterprise location, the BS/APs communicating with a plurality of User Equipment devices (UEs) at each enterprise location, each enterprise network providing operational data to the knowledgebase unit, comprising:

• a datastore unit for storing the operational data;
• a requirement learning unit connected to the datastore, including machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to learn the communication requirements of each enterprise deployment responsive to the operational data;
• a microslice configuration unit connected to the requirement learning unit, the microslice configuration unit including ML and AI that determines microslice configurations responsive to said communication requirements;
• and
• a microslice configuration library/repository unit that stores microslice configurations from the microslice configuration unit.
