Methods for delivering network slices to a user
摘要
說明書
The service compiler 130 of NSSEA 126 may also interface with NSSAI 122 and may be configured to generate the functionality or services to be provided by a network slice (e.g., one of network slices 114A, 1148) based on the identity of the network slice provided to the NSSAI 122 from a network slice artifact (e.g., network slice artifacts 106A, 106B). For instance, in response to receiving by the network 112 an identity of first network slice 114A from the first network slice artifact 106A, the service compiler 130 may interface with NSSAI 122 to generate the first functionality associated with the first network slice 114A. The functionality or services provided by a particular network slice may be tailored to the specific needs of a given user, such as a particular enterprise customer. For example, the functionality of a particular network slice may comprise a payment transfer mechanism, a supply chain infrastructure, an inventory control mechanism, etc.
The resource layer orchestrator 132 of NSSEA 126 provisions a resource layer of the network 112 (e.g., hardware of the network 112) with binary code associated with the first set of executable instructions whereby the resource layer is equipped to provide the parameters (e.g., QoS parameters) and functionality associated with the network slice. To state in other words, resource layer orchestrator 132 may orchestrate the instantiation of the network slice from a resource or hardware level of network 112. In an embodiment, the vertical slice descriptor 128, service compiler 130, and resource layer orchestrator 132 of NSSEA 126 may each be associated with one or more segments of each multi-segment filename 108A, 108B.
