Network slice manager and management method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a network slice manager and a management method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of communication. The manager comprises a creation module, an expansion module, a deletion module, a user request table, a network slice parameter table, a network slice state table and a plurality of external interfaces, wherein the creation module is respectively connected with the user request table and the network slice parameter table; both the expansion module and the deletion module are respectively connected with the network slice parameter table and the network slice state table; the creation module is connected with a core network, an access network, a physical resource pool and a user by the external interfaces; the expansion module is connected with an existing network slice and the physical resource pool by the external interfaces; and the deletion module is connected with the existing network slice by the external interface. The management method of the manager comprises three parts of creation, expansion and deletion of the network slice. According to the network slice manager and the management method thereof, which are disclosed by the invention, the network slice which meets requirements can be created according to user demands, and a utilization rate of the network slice is effectively maximized, so that a utilization rate of network resources is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and in particular relates to a network slice manager and a management method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the future Internet of Things era, there will be a variety of communication needs in the connection between people and people, people and things, and things and things. There are many types of future network application scenarios, and different application scenarios have different requirements for speed, capacity, coverage, and security. If a specific network is established for each business, although it can meet the needs of various scenarios, the cost is too high to realize; if all different business requirements are carried on the same network, it will be because Large differences in business requirements lead to a decline in business experience. 5G networks should be built in a more flexible manner, and operators can flexibly adjust and combine network performance ind...
