    摘要: An aspect of the disclosure provides a method of network slice management performed by a Communication Service Management Function (CSMF). The method includes receiving service requirements and receiving capability exposure information. The method further includes transmitting network slice requirements in accordance with the service requirements and capability exposure information. In some embodiments the capability exposure information is received from a Network Slice Management Function (NSMF). In some embodiments the network slice requirements are transmitted to the NSMF. Other aspects are directed to methods implemented by an NSMF and a Network Sub-Slice Management Function (NSSMF). Other aspects are directed to the network functions themselves.

    摘要: A method for providing service is provided. A network slice management system of an operator receives a service request message sent by a control device of a third-party service provider. The service request message is used to request the network slice management system to provide a service, and the service request message carries a service requirement. The network slice management system creates a network slice instance based on the service requirement. The network slice instance is used to provide the requested service. The network slice management system sends a notification message to the control device. The notification message carries an identity of the network slice instance.
