Dynamic reservation protocol for 5G network slicing

Abstract:

A dynamic registration system includes a slice registration server communicatively coupled to one or more clients, and to one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), wherein each API is communicatively coupled to an associated network of one or more networks, each network having resources including one or more of transport, compute, and storage resources; wherein the slice registration system is configured to receive requests for resources of the one or more of transport, compute, and storage resources in the one or more networks, for a client, exchange request/response messages with the one or more networks for a slice registration of the resources in the one or more networks, cause instantiation of the resources in the one or more networks, based on the request/response messages, and provide an acknowledgment to the client based on the instantiation of the resources.
