Systems and methods for managing service level agreements over network slices

Abstract:

A network node may obtain a function for determining a weighted sum of service level agreement (SLA) violations within a coverage area associated with the network node. The network node may obtain weight values corresponding to respective network slices of a plurality of network slices operating within the coverage area associated with the network node. The network node may provide, to one or more devices connected via the plurality of network slices, resource grants according to a communication schedule, wherein the communication schedule is determined to minimize the weighted sum of the SLA violations. The network node may determine values of the SLA violations for the plurality of network slices during a time period and provide, to a network node controller, the values of the SLA violations for the plurality of network slices.
