Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments herein describe techniques for mapping cellular slices to a Wi-Fi Network. It may be advantageous to port the slice constructs from a cellular network (e.g., 5G) to the Wi-Fi system. In one embodiment, templates are established for each slice which define different parameters that are used when the slice is implemented on a cellular network and a Wi-Fi network. A service provider can establish a template for each slice. In one embodiment, the template includes parameters for each slice for both cellular and Wi-Fi networks.
