  • Patent number: 11706658
    Abstract: In a 5G network, a slice controller is arranged to dynamically configure a radio access network (RAN) by allocating physical radio resources into RAN slices by making predictions of channel state information (CSI) for user equipment (UE) executing applications that make connectivity requests for admission to particular identified slices. The slice controller grants or denies admission requests based on the predicted CSI to ensure that applicable service level agreement (SLA) guarantees are satisfied for traffic across all the RAN slices. Each time new admission requests are received from applications, the slice controller determines whether a suitable RAN configuration exists that will enable SLA guarantees for the slices to continue to be satisfied for the current traffic while also meeting the SLA guarantees applicable to the new admission request.
