Abstract:
An example method can include receiving, by a device, single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) associated with a user equipment. The S-NSSAI can be associated with a network. The method can include determining location information associated with the user equipment, determining that a network slice instance (NSI) is to be created for the S-NSSAI, and creating an NSI based on a network service (NS) associated with the user equipment. The NSI can be created using a network function virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), associated with the network, that allocates resources, of the network, for the NSI according to the NS.
