Methods for delivering network slices to a user
摘要
說明書
Each network slice artifact 106A, 106B may be generally configured to instantiate a network slice, such as one of the network slices 114A, 1148, in response to being invoked by the user of UE 102. For example, first network slice artifact 106A may be configured to instantiate first network slice 114A while second network slice artifact 1068 may be configured to instantiate second network slice 1068. Upon instantiation, UE 102 may access network 112 via the instantiated network slice 114A, 114B and may utilize one or more VNFs composing the particular instantiated network slice 114A, 114B. If desired, the user may instantiate both network slices 114A, 1148 concurrently through invoking each of the network slice artifacts 106A, 106B. As will be described further herein, network 112 may first be prepared or provisioned for the future instantiation of network slices 114A, 1148 by a carrier or provider of network 112 prior to the instantiation of the network slices 114A, 1148 by the invoking of network slice artifacts 106A, 1068.
