Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to receive a request to admit a network slice, associated with at least one requirement, in a wireless communication network. The processor may be further configured to determine a resources, associated with the wireless communication network, needed to implement the network slice; compute an estimated resource load for the network slice; compute a projected resource load for the determined resources; and determine that the resources have sufficient capacity to meet the at least one requirement associated with the network slice based on the computed estimated resource load and the projected resource load for the resources. The processor may admit the network slice to be deployed in the wireless communication network, in response to determining that the resources have sufficient capacity to meet the at least one requirement associated with the network slice.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable a slice orchestration platform to provide flexibility for network function (NF)-type specific configuration generation workflow without sacrificing automation of design and deployment. According to one implementation, a network device stores workflows for Configuration Information Questionnaire (CIQ) automation; receives a vendor network function (NF) package; obtains site information for an instance of the vendor NF; generates site-specific artifacts for the NF package based on the workflows and the site information; and associates the site-specific artifacts with a configuration design for the NF package.

Abstract: A system may include one or more devices that with processors. The processors are configured to: receive instructions to assemble a slice service design for a network using slice design components; store the slice service design; and receive a request to deploy a slice service specified by the slice service design. The processors may be configured to: deploy the slice service in subnets of the network; or deploy services defined by portions of the slice service design in some of the subnets of the network.
