Prioritizing Incompatible Network Slices in Wireless Systems

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing priority parameters associated with each network slice request. The network controller evaluates and compares these priority parameters to determine the serving order of network slices. This transforms the complex multi-dimensional problem of managing diverse network slices into a more manageable one-dimensional prioritization problem based on priority values, thereby resolving the contradiction between service diversity and management complexity.

The patent implements preliminary action by having the network controller determine the priority of each network slice in advance, before actual resource allocation and service delivery. The controller evaluates compatibility and assigns priority values during the initial network slice setup phase. This preliminary prioritization avoids the need for complex real-time compatibility checking during service execution, thereby improving quality of service while minimizing processing time loss.

The patent applies local quality by implementing differentiated priority handling for different network slice types. Instead of uniform processing, the network controller assigns specific priority characteristics to different slices based on their service requirements (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communications receive higher priority than enhanced mobile broadband). This localized quality differentiation maintains operational simplicity through standardized priority mechanisms while significantly improving quality of service for time-sensitive services.
