FLEXIBLE SERVICE BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR ADVANCED COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17661961 titled 'FLEXIBLE SERVICE BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR ADVANCED COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a flexible service-based architecture (SBA) for next generation communication networks. - The system receives a service request for a data communication service to be provided to a communication device through a communication network. - The communication network consists of various network resources defined by resource components and sub-components. - The system accesses network resource abstraction information that identifies the resource components and their associated sub-components. - Based on a service criterion associated with the data communication service, the system selects a subset of network resources for providing the service to the communication device. - The system facilitates the provision of the data communication service to the communication device using the selected subset of network resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
A flexible service-based architecture (SBA) for next generation communication networks is described. In an embodiment, a method performed by a system comprising a processor comprises receiving a service request for provision of a data communication service to a communication device via a communication network comprising a plurality of different network resources defined by resource components and sub-components of the resource components. In response to receiving the service request, accessing network resource abstraction information that identifies the resource components, and the sub-components respectively associated with the resource components, and selecting a subset of the different network resources for the provision of the data communication service to the communication device based a service criterion associated with the data communication service. The method further comprises facilitating, by the system, the provision of the data communication service to the communication device via the communication network using the subset of the different network resources.
