==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATION OF END-TO-END NETWORK SLICE DEPLOYMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297059 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATION OF END-TO-END NETWORK SLICE DEPLOYMENT

The abstract of this patent application describes a system and method for automating network slice deployments. A network device stores preconfigured templates for different segments of a data transport network and generates designs for each segment based on customer parameters.

* The network device retrieves templates that match customer parameters for each segment of the network slice.
* It generates segment designs based on the retrieved templates and customer parameters.
* An end-to-end slice design is assembled using the segment designs and forwarded to a deployment system for the data transport network.

Potential Applications:
- Telecom companies can use this technology to quickly deploy customized network slices for different customers.
- Cloud service providers can benefit from automated network slice deployments to improve network efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Problems Solved:
- Manual configuration of network slices can be time-consuming and error-prone.
- Automating the deployment process streamlines operations and ensures consistency in network configurations.

Benefits:
- Faster deployment of network slices tailored to specific customer requirements.
- Reduced human error in network configuration.
- Improved overall network efficiency and performance.

Commercial Applications:
Automated network slice deployment technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, cloud service providers, and other network operators to enhance their service offerings and streamline network management processes.

Questions about Automated Network Slice Deployment:
1. How does automated network slice deployment improve operational efficiency for network operators?
Automated network slice deployment eliminates manual configuration errors and speeds up the deployment process, leading to more efficient network operations.

2. What are the key advantages of using preconfigured templates for network slice deployments?
Preconfigured templates ensure consistency in network configurations and simplify the process of generating designs for different network segments.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods described herein enable automation of network slice deployments. A network device stores a group of preconfigured templates for different slice segments of a data transport network and identifies customer parameters for a slice. The network device retrieves a first template that satisfies the customer parameters for a first slice segment and generates a first segment design for the slice. The network device retrieves a second template that supports the first segment design and customer parameters for a second slice segment and generates at least one second segment design for the slice. The network device assembles an end-to-end slice design using the first segment design and the at least one second segment design and forwards the end-to-end slice design to a deployment system for the data transport network.
