    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling a telecommunication service provider to control an underlay network in cloud service provider environment. One such method includes: dictating control of the underlay network to a telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; enabling control of a number of virtual routers to be deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; and managing route tables for the virtual routers deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment. In some embodiments, the Virtual Private Cloud design is configured to be similar to a design of the on-prem architecture of the telecommunication service provider.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services by intelligently deploying radio access network components and redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements for one or more network slices are described. The radio access network components may include virtualized distributed units (VDUs) and virtualized centralized units (VCUs). To satisfy a latency requirement for a network slice, various components of a radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to user equipment. To satisfy a power requirement for the network slice, various components of the radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to core network components. Over time, the components of the radio access network may be dynamically reassigned to different layers within a data center hierarchy in order to satisfy changing latency requirements and power requirements for the network slice.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for network slicing are provided. In one example, a method includes: selecting a first network slice and a second network slice both pertaining to a common data network, designating a first traffic flow to the first network slice and a second traffic flow to the second network slice, generating a first network slice profile including a first network identifier and first mapping information, generating a second network slice profile including a second network identifier and second mapping information, assigning the first network slice profile to the first traffic flow and the second network slice profile to the second traffic flow, and separating the first traffic flow from the second traffic flow on a user plane function (UPF) instance, based on the assigned first network slice profile and the second network slice profile.
