Abstract:
The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According some embodiments, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include identifying a slice configuration of a network slice that was allocated to a user device, the slice configuration being based on a characteristic of the user device, wherein a capacity of a resource of a network device of a network was previously assigned to support the network slice based on the slice configuration. The operations can further include monitoring usage of the network slice by the user device during the usage of the network slice, resulting in monitored usage of the network slice. Further, based on and during the monitored usage of the network slice, operations can include facilitating modifying the capacity of the resource assigned to support the network slice.
