Application: Multi-slice support for mec-enabled 5g deployments (Patent ID: US20230403731A1)
The patent filed by Intel Corp. describes a system designed to track network slicing operations within a 5G communication network. The system includes processing circuitry that determines a network slice instance (NSI) associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) flow of a User Equipment (UE) and retrieves latency information for communication links used by the NSI. This information is used to generate a slice configuration policy based on latency and slice-specific attributes, which is then used to reconfigure network resources. The claims detail the system's ability to evaluate end-to-end performance of network slicing operations within a Multi-access Edge Computing-enabled (MEC-enabled) 5G network, determining latency information for both non-MEC and MEC communication links, calculating round-trip time (RTT), and reconfiguring network resources based on the determined RTT.
The system's processing circuitry is further configured to determine latency information based on various factors such as radio links, interfaces, and delays experienced by MEC applications. Additionally, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and an apparatus of a management node within the MEC-enabled 5G network, detailing the operations performed by the processing circuitry to determine latency information, calculate RTT, and reconfigure network resources. Overall, the patent focuses on improving the efficiency and performance of network slicing operations within a 5G communication network through the evaluation and adjustment of latency parameters.
