Network Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17908170 titled 'Network Management
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for network management in which a first entity manages network slices in a network. The method is performed in response to a request to set up a first network slice.
- The method involves identifying one or more network nodes and/or second network slices that will support the first network slice.
- For each identified network node, an update is initiated to add a unique identifier of the first network slice to an attribute of the node.
- Similarly, for each identified second network slice, an update is initiated to add the unique identifier of the first network slice to an attribute of the slice.
This method allows for efficient management of network slices by associating them with specific network nodes and other network slices through unique identifiers.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a method for network management performed by a first entity (), which is configured to manage network slices in a network. The method is performed in response to a first request to set up a first network slice. The method comprises identifying () one or more network nodes in the network and/or one or more second network slices to support the first network slice. For each identified network node, an update to an attribute of the identified network node is initiated () to add a unique identifier of the first network slice to the attribute of the identified network node. For each identified second network slice, an update to an attribute of the identified second network slice is initiated () to add the unique identifier of the first network slice to the attribute of the identified second network slice.
