Abstract: Embodiments described herein allow reduced latency and computational costs by identifying a slice associated with a packet and determining an action to be performed with respect to the packet without having to perform deep packet inspection on the packet. An aspect of the present disclosure is a method comprising receiving a packet including a slice identifier corresponding to a slice of a network, the slice identifier having a plurality of bits; determining a bit value for each bit in a subset of the plurality of bits; and performing an action with respect to the packet based on the bit value of at least one bit in the subset.

Abstract: A device may receive performance requirements for a service, and may receive RAN factors that influence a RAN, core factors that influence a core network, and transport factors that influence a transport network. The device may determine a RAN capability to satisfy the performance requirements, and may determine a core capability to satisfy the performance requirements. The device may determine a transport capability to satisfy the performance requirements, and may determine RAN configuration settings, core configuration settings, and transport configuration settings based on the RAN capability, the core capability, and the transport capability, respectively. The device may generate a RAN SON based on the RAN configuration settings, a core SON based on the core configuration settings, and a transport SON based on the transport configuration settings. The device may create a network slice based service area based on the RAN SON, the core SON, and the transport SON.

Abstract: A network device may maintain a list of existing slice identifiers, associated with slices of a core network, that are in use in active UE sessions, and may receive a slice identifier associated with a slice of the core network and provided in a request to establish a session between a UE and the slice of the core network. The network device may determine whether the slice identifier matches an existing slice identifier included in the list, and may create a new network address, with an address of the network device and the slice identifier, based on the slice identifier failing to match an existing slice identifier included in the list. The network device may utilize the new network address to establish the session between the UE and the slice of the core network.
