Method, device and system for managing network slice instances

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device and system for managing network slice instances, which can improve the efficiency of managing network slice instances. Including: the first network device receives a network slice instance creation request from the sender device to request the creation of a target network slice instance, and the network slice instance creation request includes description information of the target network slice instance; the first network device sends the second network slice instance according to the description information. The network device sends network function configuration indication information to instruct the second network device to configure the network function of the target network slice instance; the first network device receives the network function configuration response information sent by the second network device to indicate the network function of the target network slice instance The configuration is completed; the first network device sends network slice instance creation response information to the sender device to indicate that the target network slice instance is created.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, apparatus and system for managing network slice instances. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication, future mobile communication systems need to meet diverse service requirements, such as enhanced mobile broadband, large-scale machine-type communication, ultra-reliable and low-latency communication, etc. Therefore, the concept of network slicing is proposed in the next generation mobile communication system. Network slicing technology refers to logically abstracting a network into one or more network slices, where each network slice contains a series of logical network functions, and a network slice can meet the connection communication service requirements of a certain type or use case. The next generation mobile communication system can be composed of a large number of network slices to meet different connection capab...
