摘要: A method of providing a network slice service includes a mobile network operator (MNO): providing one or more service profiles to a virtual service provider (VSP) serving a user population including a plurality of user devices, each service profile comprising attributes defining characteristics of a respective network slice service offered by the MNO, the network slice service comprising any one or more of: a Virtual Network with E2E service requirements; a Virtual Network with a specified network topology; and a virtualized infrastructure. The MNO receives a request for a selected network slice service from the VSP; determines whether or not the requested service can be provided; and responsive to determining that the requested service can be provided: sending a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the network slice service to the VSP; and subsequently facilitating a network slice service instance in accordance with the SLA.

摘要: An aspect of the disclosure provides a method of admitting a session from a user device subscribed to a service with a virtual network operator. The method includes receiving a service request from said user device at an Access Point and selecting a network function Authentication and Authorization (AA) function (AAF) to confirm the user device is authorized for the requested service, and transmitting the request to the selected network function AAA function. The AAAF which processes the request may reside with the virtual network operator (VNO). However, the VNO may share its AAA database with other network entities (for example, Telecom Connectivity Service Providers (TCSPs) or InPs), and allow those entities to perform the AAA functions.

摘要: Embodiments provide systems and methods for managing resources in networks which utilize network slicing. Embodiments include systems and methods for monitoring performance in networks which utilize network slicing when the resources of a network domain are allocated to more than one slice. Embodiments include systems and methods for monitoring performance when resources of a slice are controlled by different network operators/service providers. A domain manager can make the performance measurement data available per network allotment instance with an identifier indicating to which virtual network service the performance measurement data belongs.

摘要: An aspect of the disclosure provides a method for session admission at a node in an infrastructure provider network. The method includes receiving a connection request from a user equipment not associated with a network with which the infrastructure provider network is associated and obtaining from the user equipment, an identification of a service provider with which the infrastructure provider network is associated. Access authorization is then requested from the identified service provider. Embodiments allow such a process to provide government mandated free access, or for some other service provider to pay for the service.

摘要: A communication service manager (CSM) apparatus for monitoring a communication network is provided. The CSM receives configuration instruction message from a higher-level device, and creates or modifies a set of tasks based on the configuration instruction message. The CSM is thus configured to interact with data provider devices to obtain specific information, process the information, and report the results of the processing operations toward a specified device or database. The data provider devices monitor network operations and may include network functions and data analytics manager (DAM) functions. A format for configuration instruction messages, for configuring the CSM, is also provided.

摘要: A method, apparatus and system for supporting Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) in a network such as a 5G communication network. Application Function (AF) request data is received from an AF operating in the network in support of MEC, stored in memory, and transmitted from the memory to one or more Policy Control Functions (PCFs) operating in the network. Subscribing PCFs may be notified of the receipt and storage of the data and request retrieval of the data. The data may be stored and handled by a function referred to as the Application Data Repository, or by another data repository. The operations may be performed by a network function such as but not limited to an Application Data Repository function. The function can store the AF request data and notify the PCFs. The function can handle AF requests associated with roaming UEs.

摘要: A method and apparatus for connecting a user equipment (UE) to a wireless communication network such as a 5th generation network. The network supports node-level tunnelling. Node-level tunnels can be pre-configured prior to receipt of UE attach requests. The tunnels can be shared by plural UEs, flows, or services. A policy function is connected to a network management function and performs tasks such as applying constraints to the node-level tunnels. A session management function pre-establishes node-level tunnels based on policy information from the policy function. Operations of network elements such as the access network node and user plane function to handle UE attachment, session establishment, and handling of mobile-originated and mobile-terminated traffic are described. Also described is a method and apparatus for packet transmission in which packets are processed according to an identified tunnel type. The tunnel type can be identified using a field in the tunnel encapsulation header.

摘要: A network function and a method for associating a UE of a UE group to a PDU session with in a CN. The NF establishes a shared PDU session for the UE group before all of the UEs in the UE group register with the CN and binds a UE that has not yet registered with the CN to the shared PDU session when the UE registers with the CN, provided the UE will share at least one of a UL UP connection and a DL UP connection associated with the shared PDU session. The NF may be an SMF.
