Radio access network slicing

A system comprising:

• a radio access network;
• and
• a graphical user interface;
• wherein the graphical user interface is configured to:
• enable an end-user of a radio access network to configure at least one of a plurality of control knobs for configuring a slice of the radio access network;
• receive user input from the end-user through the graphical user interface indicating how the end-user would adjust the at least one of the control knobs for configuring the slice of the radio access network;
• and
• configure the slice of the radio access network according to the user input from the end-user through the graphical user interface;
• wherein:
• the at least one control knob comprises a frequency control knob;
• and
• the at least one control knob comprises a performance control knob;
• and
• the performance control knob enables the end-user to perform carrier aggregation of multiple distinct component carriers.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions that, when executed by at least one physical processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:

• providing, to an end-user of a radio access network, a graphical user interface that enables the end-user to configure at least one of a plurality of control knobs for configuring a slice of the radio access network;
• receiving, after the providing the graphical user interface, user input from the end-user through the graphical user interface indicating how the end-user would adjust the at least one of the control knobs for configuring the slice of the radio access network;
• and
• configuring the slice of the radio access network according to the user input from the end-user through the graphical user interface;
• wherein:
• the at least one control knob comprises a performance control knob;
• and
• the performance control knob enables the end-user to perform carrier aggregation of multiple distinct component carriers.
