METHOD OF NETWORK SLICE RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND VISUALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972163 titled 'METHOD OF NETWORK SLICE RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND VISUALIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed invention is a method and device for efficiently managing network slicing in a communication system. Network slicing allows for the creation of multiple virtual networks within a single physical network, each tailored to specific requirements.
- The method involves a first node, responsible for managing a network slice, transmitting a service level agreement (SLA) range and a resource request message to a second node, which manages a specific network slice subnet.
- The first node receives SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information from the second node, which provides details about how different SLA arrangements are mapped to specific flavors within the network slice subnet.
- Based on the received information, the first node identifies the SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship within the network slice unit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Efficient management of network slicing in communication systems.
- Creation of multiple virtual networks within a single physical network, each with different SLA requirements.
- Flexibility in allocating resources based on SLA ranges and flavor mappings.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently managing network slicing, which can be complex and resource-intensive.
- Ensuring that SLA requirements are met for each network slice.
- Simplifying the process of mapping SLA arrangements to specific flavors within a network slice subnet.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved resource allocation and utilization within a communication system.
- Enhanced flexibility in meeting different SLA requirements.
- Streamlined management of network slicing, reducing complexity and resource overhead.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure provides a method and a device for efficiently operating network slicing. According to the disclosure, a method of operating a first node configured to manage a network slice of a communication system includes: transmitting a service level agreement (SLA) range for each network slice subnet and a message requesting a resource according to the SLA range to a second node configured to manage the network slice subnet, receiving SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in the network slice subnet unit from the second node, and identifying the SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship in a network slice unit based on the received SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in a network slice subnet unit.
