TRANSPORT SLICE IDENTIFIER FOR END-TO-END 5G NETWORK SLICING MAPPING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17793286 titled 'TRANSPORT SLICE IDENTIFIER FOR END-TO-END 5G NETWORK SLICING MAPPING

Simplified Explanation

The apparatus and methods described in the patent application are designed to identify network slices in a transport network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Receive a request to create a network slice with a global identifier
  • Search a database for the global identifier
  • Generate a transport slice identifier for the network slice
  • Add mapping entries to databases for tracking the network slice and its path
  • Publish the mapping entries to a performance monitoring system

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are apparatuses and methods for identifying network slices in a transport network. In an embodiment, the apparatus is configured to receive a slice creation request to create a network slice. The slice creation request includes a global identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to search a transport slice mapping database for the global identifier. The apparatus is further configured to generate a transport slice identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to add a mapping entry to the transport slice mapping database mapping the global identifier to the transport slice identifier. The apparatus is further configured to add another mapping entry to a transport slice path mapping database mapping the transport slice identifier to a network path assigned to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to publish the mapping entries to a performance monitoring system.
