==NETWORK SLICE UPGRADING METHOD AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18254225 titled 'NETWORK SLICE UPGRADING METHOD AND DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method and device for upgrading network slices by acquiring version information of each service instance, receiving an upgrade instruction, downloading an upgrade package, and upgrading service instances in each NF according to the upgrade package.

* Acquiring version information of each service instance
* Receiving an upgrade instruction
* Downloading an upgrade package
* Simultaneously upgrading service instances in each NF according to the upgrade package
* Upgrade instruction includes a preset upgrade proportion and an upgrade order

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in telecommunications, cloud computing, and network management industries.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently upgrading network slices with multiple service instances.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include streamlined upgrade processes, improved network performance, and enhanced service reliability.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of network management software for telecom companies.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include methods for upgrading network elements individually rather than simultaneously across multiple service instances.

== Unanswered Questions ==
* How does this method handle potential conflicts or errors during the upgrade process?
