Original Abstract Submitted

A device may receive performance requirements for a service, and may receive RAN factors that influence a RAN, core factors that influence a core network, and transport factors that influence a transport network. The device may determine a RAN capability to satisfy the performance requirements, and may determine a core capability to satisfy the performance requirements. The device may determine a transport capability to satisfy the performance requirements, and may determine RAN configuration settings, core configuration settings, and transport configuration settings based on the RAN capability, the core capability, and the transport capability, respectively. The device may generate a RAN SON based on the RAN configuration settings, a core SON based on the core configuration settings, and a transport SON based on the transport configuration settings. The device may create a network slice based service area based on the RAN SON, the core SON, and the transport SON.
