Abstract
A device may include a processor configured to detect that a communication session in a private cellular wireless network is associated with an application and determine that data units associated with the communication session match a network slicing rule associated with the private cellular wireless network. The processor may be further configured to classify the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule and assign the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, that data units associated with a communication session match a network slicing rule for a cellular wireless network;
- classifying, by the device, the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule;
- and
- assigning, by the device, the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.
A device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine that data units associated with a communication session match a network slicing rule for a cellular wireless network;
- classify the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule;
- and
- assign the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory device storing instructions executable on a processor, the non-transitory computer-readable memory device comprising:
- one or more instructions to determine that data units associated with a communication session match a network slicing rule for a cellular wireless network;
- one or more instructions to classify the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule;
- and
- one or more instructions to assign the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.
