    摘要: Methods and apparatus for management of network slices in a communication network such as a 5th generation wireless communication network are provided. Management planes may be provided which are separate from the plurality of network slices. A connection manager residing in a management plane receives an indication that a mobile device is to be associated with the communication network. The connection manager may reside at an access node or in the core network. A network slice is determined, and the connection manager transmits instructions, to one or more network nodes, to associate the mobile device with the network slice. The instructions may be provided to a local connection manager. The slice may be requested explicitly by the mobile device, or determined based on device and/or network requirements.

    摘要: A system for managing a network comprising at least one network slice instance including at least one network slice subnet instance. The system comprises a network slice management function associated with each network slice instance, the network slice management function configured to expose one or more management functions to a customer such that the customer can effect limited management of its associated network slice instance; and a network slice subnet management function associated with each network slice subnet instance, the network slice management function configured to expose one or more management functions to a customer such that the customer can effect limited management of its associated network slice subnet instance.

    摘要: A method for managing a communications network includes providing a parent network manager in a parent domain of the communications network, and providing a child network manager in a child domain of the communications network. The parent network manager comprises at least one of a parent Service Oriented Network Auto Creation (SONAC) function and a parent MANagement and Orchestration (MANO) function. The child network manager comprises at least one of a child Service Oriented Network Auto Creation (SONAC) function and a child MANagement and Orchestration (MANO) function. The parent and child network managers cooperate to optimize management of the parent and child domains of the communications network.

    摘要: There is provided systems and methods for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in a control plane. The NFV framework is be used to define a plurality of virtual network functions (VNFs), each of which can correspond to a function enabling operation of a communication network. There is provided a method and system for managing a plurality of network slices in a communication network, the method comprising: instantiating a Global Control Plane set apart from the plurality of network slices, the Global Control Plane configured to at least partially manage each of the plurality of network slices.

    摘要: A method selects a path for forwarding a data packet in a wireless communication system. A system capacity versus delay impact curve is calculated for a direct path to mobile station. The direct path has a capacity cost based on communication quality of a direct link between a base station and the mobile station. This curve is shifted by a predetermined time corresponding to an additional delay over a relay path to produce a projected capacity curve for the relay path having a second capacity cost determined according to a combined measure of signal quality of multiple links in the relay path. The second capacity cost is multiplied by a capacity cost ratio to produce a relay capacity curve. The direct path or the relay path is selected based on a comparison of the system capacity versus delay impact curve and the relay capacity curve according to a QoS requirement.
