Abstract
A method includes generating, by a processor, a network slice bundle universally unique identifier (slice_bundle_UUID) for a network slice bundle; and generating, by the processor, a slice catalog slice_bundle_UUID, based on the slice_bundle_UUID, for use by a slice catalog; parsing and locating in the slice catalog, by the processor, one or more stored network service bundle references, Nbased on a network service UUID (NS_UUID) referenced in the network slice bundle; and creating, by the processor, a relationship between one or more stored network services in the slice catalog and the network slice bundle.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating, by a processor, a network slice bundle universally unique identifier (slice_bundle_UUID) for a network slice bundle;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a slice catalog slice_bundle_UUID, based on the slice_bundle_UUID, for use by a slice catalog;
- parsing and locating in the slice catalog, by the processor, one or more stored network service bundle references, based on a network service UUID (NS_UUID) referenced in the network slice bundle;
- and
- creating, by the processor, a relationship between one or more stored network services in the slice catalog and the network slice bundle.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- generate a network slice bundle universally unique identifier (slice_bundle_UUID) for a network slice bundle;
- and
- generate a slice catalog slice_bundle_UUID, based on the slice_bundle_UUID, for use by a slice catalog;
- parse and locate in the slice catalog one or more stored network service bundle references, based on a network service UUID (NS_UUID) referenced in the network slice bundle;
- and
- create a relationship between one or more stored network services in the slice catalog and the network slice bundle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- generate a network slice bundle universally unique identifier (slice_bundle_UUID) for a network slice bundle;
- and
- generate a slice catalog slice_bundle_UUID, based on the slice_bundle_UUID, for use by a slice catalog;
- parse and locate in the slice catalog one or more stored network service bundle references, based on a network service UUID (NS_UUID) referenced in the network slice bundle;
- and
- create a relationship between one or more stored network services in the slice catalog and the network slice bundle.
