System and methods for generating a slice deployment description for a network slice instance

Abstract:

A slice order system may receive a request to generate a network slice configuration for providing a service via a network. The slice offer system may determine a description template associated with a network slice type. The slice offer system may determine, based on the description template and a set of deployment parameters, a description profile for the network slice configuration. The slice offer system may generate, based on the description profile and a location, a slice deployment description for the network slice configuration according to location-specific characteristics associated with resources at the location and a service level agreement associated with the request. The slice offer system may deploy the slice deployment description to permit a network slice instance to be created according to the slice deployment description.
