Abstract: A system may receive a first definition for a virtualized instance of a network function. The first definition may include a first set of declarations in a first format that is different than respective formats supported by different virtualized environments. The system may select a first virtualized environment to run the virtualized instance based on requirements specified within the first definition, and may generate a second definition with a second set of declarations that map the first set of declarations from the first format to a second format supported by the first virtualized environment. The system may deploy the virtualized instance to the first virtualized environment using the second set of declarations from the second definition. Deploying the virtualized instance may include configuring its operation based on some of the second set of declarations matching a configuration format supported by the first virtualized environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a Specialized-Operator enabled with admission control functionalities and Custom Resource Definition (CRD) plugins responsible for improving the reliability of the CNF Lifecycle Management operations for deploying containerized workloads on any heterogeneous cloud platform or in multi-cluster environments. According to one implementation, a computing device includes a sensor Network Function Virtualization (NFV)-extension and an actuator NFV-extension. The sensor NFV-extension obtains, from a Container Infrastructure Service Manager (CISM), an event signal that indicates a deficiency with a customer Containerized Network Function (CNF) deployment; detects a current state for the CNF deployment; determines an intent for the CNF deployment; identifies, based on the intent, a desired state for the CNF deployment; and selects, from a group of available actuator NFV-extensions, the actuator NFV-extension corresponding to the desired state. The actuator NFV-extension may be configured to initiate remediation of the CNF deployment to the desired state.

Abstract: A device can receive, from a node in a core network, application identifiers associated with applications accessible by a first user device. The application identifiers can be associated with latency requirements. The device can obtain, from the first user device, a first packet associated with a first packet flow. The device can compare information regarding the first packet flow, and the application identifiers to determine that the first packet is destined for a low-latency application having a specified latency range. The device can identify a first low-latency bearer that satisfies the specified latency range associated with the low-latency application. The device can map the first packet flow to the first low-latency bearer, and communicate packets, associated with the first packet flow, using the first low-latency bearer. The packets can include data packets communicated between an entity hosting the low-latency application and the first user device, while bypassing the core network.

Abstract: A device associated with a network may receive a service profile for a network slice of the network, where the service profile includes one or more service characterizations of the network slice. The device may determine, based on thresholding rules and for each service characterization, whether the service characterization requires selection from a plurality of building blocks, to obtain a group of service characterizations requiring selection. The device may select, based on selection rules and for each service characterization of the group of service characterizations requiring selection, a building block from the plurality of building blocks, to obtain selected building blocks, where the selection rules map attributes of service characterizations to building blocks. The device may stack, based on stacking rules, the selected building blocks, to obtain a slice infrastructure for the network slice. The device may deploy the slice infrastructure for the network slice in the network.

Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) node can receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request to establish a session associated with a low-latency service level agreement (SLA). The session can be mapped to a radio bearer associated with a network slice configured to support the low-latency SLA, wherein the network slice can include a RAN portion and a core network portion that are co-located at a RAN edge to support the low-latency SLA. The RAN node can provide information related to the radio bearer to a distributed unit (DU) associated with the RAN portion of the network slice and route traffic associated with the session through the network slice configured to support the low-latency SLA via the radio bearer mapped to the session. As such, the session can have a context maintained in the RAN portion and the core network portion of the network slice.

Abstract: A device can receive, at a radio access network (RAN) and from a user device, first information to initiate a communications session that has one or more properties. The device can send second information to an access and mobility management function component (AMF) to authenticate the user device. The device can send third information to a user plane function component (UPF) to determine a set of network slice policies for managing the communications session. The device can receive the set of network slice policies and apply the set of network slice policies to the communications session. The device can detect a change in the one or more properties of the communications session and send a signal to the UPF to analyze the communications session. The device can receive a new set of network slice policies and apply the new set of network slice policies to the communications session.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for automating the deployment of software-defined and/or virtualized network functions (“xNFs”) within a network via a holistic validation of each xNF against validation criteria and/or performance of prior xNFs. The holistic validation may include receiving an xNF, determining a first amount of risk associated with that xNF based on one or more differences between the xNF and the validation criteria, determining a second amount of risk by comparing performance characteristics of the xNF to performance characteristics of earlier version of the same or similar xNFs, providing the xNF to the network for deployment in response to the total risk being within an acceptable amount of risk, and preventing xNF deployment while providing a notification with a set of recommendations to reduce the xNF risk in response to the total risk exceeding the acceptable amount of risk.

Abstract: A RAN node may determine an aggregate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each resource block of a plurality of resource blocks, where the aggregate SNR of a given resource block of the plurality of resource blocks is based on SNRs of subcarrier frequencies of the given resource block. The RAN node may determine, based on a type of network traffic on each network slice of a plurality of network slices, an index value of each network slice of the plurality of network slices. The RAN node may map, based on the aggregate SNR of each resource block, based on the index value of each network slice, and for each resource block of the plurality of resource blocks, a resource block of the plurality of resource blocks to a network slice of the plurality of network slices.
