==Network Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919322 titled 'Network Management

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for network management that involves initiating a request for a management task on a network towards a second entity responsible for managing network slices. The request includes information about a specific network slice and a programming construct that instructs the second entity to identify other network slices or network nodes supporting the specified network slice. The request also includes a programming construct that instructs the second entity to select the specified network slice, the identified network slices, and/or the identified network nodes for performing the management task.

* The method involves initiating a request for network management towards a second entity responsible for managing network slices.
* The request includes information about a specific network slice and a programming construct to identify supporting network slices or network nodes.
* The request also includes a programming construct to select the specified network slice, identified network slices, and/or identified network nodes for the management task.

== Potential Applications ==
* Network management in telecommunications or data communication networks.
* Efficient allocation of resources for managing network slices.
* Automation of network management tasks.

== Problems Solved ==
* Simplifies the process of managing network slices by providing a method for identifying supporting network slices or network nodes.
* Enables efficient allocation of resources for network management tasks.
* Automates the selection of network slices or nodes for performing management tasks.

== Benefits ==
* Streamlines network management processes by automating the identification and selection of network slices or nodes.
* Improves efficiency and resource allocation for network management tasks.
* Reduces manual effort and potential errors in managing network slices.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

There is provided a method for network management. Transmission of a request for performance of a management task on the network is initiated towards a second entity (), which is configured to manage network slices of the network. The request comprises information identifying a first network slice () of the network and a first programming construct executable to cause the second entity () to identify one or more second network slices of the network that are supporting the first network slice () and/or one or more first network nodes () of the network supporting the first network slice (). The request comprises a second programming construct executable to cause the second entity () to select the first network slice (), one or more identified second network slices, and/or one or more identified first network nodes (), on which to perform the management task.
