    Abstract: Pairing of a radio access network (RAN) slice to a core network (CN) slice is disclosed. The pairing can be based on RAN slice information, CN slice information, and device information. The device information can enable access to corresponding information from a data store, such as historical pairing correlated to a device, device type, etc. Moreover, other supplemental information, such as service information, can also be employed in determining the pairing. In an aspect, the other supplemental information can enable access to corresponding information form a data store, such as other CN slices comprising an identified virtual network function, historical performance of previously determined pairing(s), etc. A determined pairing can be modified before provisioning or after provisioning based on the RAN slice information, CN slice information, supplemental information, or corresponding information. Further, pairing information can be employed to directly initiate pairing or to cause another device to initiate pairing.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein include a method of managing virtual network functions of a network functions virtualization (NFV) network environment includes generating an integration virtual network function (integration VNF) to allow a user to perform tasks related to integration and deployment of a first virtual network function (first VNF), and generating an orchestration template for a first virtual network function (first VNF) with an NFV orchestrator of the NFV environment. The method further includes reviewing the orchestration template with the integration VNF, and orchestrating deployment of the first VNF with a virtual infrastructure manager (VIM) of the NFV environment based on the orchestration template.
