Systems and methods for network slice management
Sophie Vrzic
- 10 Nov 2016
TL;DR: In this article, a method of generating a network slice is provided, which consists of the network slice orchestrator (NWSO) receiving a request from a NSL manager (NWSM) for a new network slice, the NSL adding a new service to the new slice, and the NWSO determining a new descriptor (NWSD) for the new NSL descriptor, which is then transmitted to a resource orchestrator for instantiation of the slice using enhanced network function virtualization management and orchestration.
