  • Publication number: 20210360741
    Abstract: An object is to provide a slice management system capable of assigning slices to a plurality of business operators. In a parent SMF 100, a slice management table 103 can manage resources of a slice managed by a child SMF 100a or the like, and a communication unit 101 can notify the child SMF 100a or the like of the resources. The child SMF 100a or the like receives the resources and stores the resources in the slice management table 106. Therefore, the child SMF 100a or the like can manage the resources of the slice managed by the child SMF 100a or the like, and the child SMF 100a can independently enable the management of the resources.

  • Publication number: 20210345283
    Abstract: In a slice management device 10, a storage request accepting unit 11 acquires correspondence information in which a service, a slice, and tracking areas are associated with each other. A presence-in-area identifying unit 13 identifies a presence-in-area status of a UE 130. An assignment unit 14 assigns a slice corresponding to a service used by the UE 130 and tracking areas represented by the correspondence information. In this case, the slice management device 10 assigns a slice to a service in accordance with the presence-in-area status of the UE 130, and accordingly, a slice assigned to the service can be dynamically changed.

  • Patent number: 10772037
    Abstract: In a communication system (1), when there is no access destination corresponding to a service type to be used by a piece of UE (50) in one of cellular communication and non-cellular communication, a retrieval unit (13) of a DB server (10) selects an access destination by referring to correspondence information in the other of the cellular communication and the non-cellular communication. Thus, when there is no access destination corresponding to the service type to be used by the UE (50) in one of the cellular communication and the non-cellular communication, the access destination corresponding to the service type is selected in the other of the cellular communication and the non-cellular communication. Therefore, it is possible to select an access destination suitable for the service type from both the cellular communication and the non-cellular communication.

  • Patent number: 10687385
    Abstract: In a communication system in which a plurality of bearers are set up between UE and one or more PGWs, a PGW measures an idle time for each bearer and determines whether or not the measured idle time has reached an idle timer threshold value which is determined in advance for each of the plurality of bearers (Step 1). Then, when it is determined that the idle time for one bearer, for example, bearer 2, has reached the idle timer threshold value (Step 2), a PGW2 requests an MME to release bearer 2 via an SGW2 (Steps 3 and 4), and the MME performs a process of releasing bearer 2 in response to the request (Step 5 and the like).

  • Publication number: 20200187182
    Abstract: In a service mapping apparatus, an allocation service table, which associates a service to which a slice is allocated in advance, the slice, and an address representing an apparatus executing the service with each other, is stored. In addition, a request accepting unit of the service mapping apparatus receives an SLA-SL that is a requirement of a function. A determination unit determines a slice including an SLA-SL corresponding to the received service requirement (SLA-SL) of the service (satisfying the service requirement). In a case in which a service that is the allocation target is associated with a slice in advance, an allocation unit changes allocation of the service to the determined slice.
