Trust Level in Network Slices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267861 titled 'Trust Level in Network Slices
Simplified Explanation
The invention relates to a method for operating a slice management entity configured to manage a network slice of a cellular network, involving periodically determining the trust level of the network slice based on time-dependent trust values of network components used by the network slice, and adapting the controlling of at least one network component to obtain a new trust value for the component if the determined trust level is below a minimum threshold level.
- Periodically determining the trust level of a network slice based on trust values of network components.
- Adapting the controlling of network components to improve the trust level of the network slice.
- Potential Applications
- Network management in cellular networks.
- Improving security and reliability of network slices.
- Problems Solved
- Ensuring trustworthiness of network components.
- Maintaining a minimum threshold trust level for network slices.
- Benefits
- Enhanced security and reliability of network slices.
- Efficient management of network components.
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a method for operating a slice management entity (100) configured to manage a network slice of a cellular network, the method comprising: —periodically determining a trust level of the network slice based on time dependent trust values of network components used by the network slice, —determining whether the determined trust level of the network slice is lower than a minimum threshold level, wherein in the affirmative, —adapting a controlling of at least one of the network components of the network slice to obtain a new trust value for the at least one network component, wherein the new trust level of the network slice is above the minimum threshold level and is calculated taking into account the new trust value of the adapted controlling of the at least one network component.
