  • Patent number: 12160775
    Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods for identifying network slices in a transport network. In an embodiment, the apparatus is configured to receive a slice creation request to create a network slice. The slice creation request includes a global identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to search a transport slice mapping database for the global identifier. The apparatus is further configured to generate a transport slice identifier corresponding to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to add a mapping entry to the transport slice mapping database mapping the global identifier to the transport slice identifier. The apparatus is further configured to add another mapping entry to a transport slice path mapping database mapping the transport slice identifier to a network path assigned to the network slice. The apparatus is further configured to publish the mapping entries to a performance monitoring system.

  • Patent number: 12107756
    Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatuses for identifying a transport network slice in a data plane of a transport network by a network device. In an embodiment, the method includes generating a transport slice identifier corresponding to the transport network slice. The method further includes transmitting a configuration message requesting rendering of a transport network path assigned to the transport network slice. The method further includes obtaining a prediction, using an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model, of at least one required configuration of the transport network slice, based at least on historical information related to the transport network slice. The method further includes applying the at least one required configuration to the transport network slice.

  • Publication number: 20240314474
    Abstract: Embodiment herein provides a method for advertising Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) information between multiple layers of a communication network. The method includes determining, by an optical domain controller (100), SRLG information associated with an optical domain and IP domain to be shared with an IP domain controller (200) and determining, by the optical domain controller (100), layer identifiers to establish a multi-protocol enabled Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session between the optical domain and the IP domain. The method also includes establishing, by the optical domain controller (100), the multi-protocol enabled BGP session between the optical domain controller (100) and the IP domain controller (200) based on the layer identifiers; and advertising, by the optical domain controller (100), the SRLG information associated with the optical domain and the SRLG information associated with the IP domain to the IP domain controller (200) over the established multi-protocol enabled BGP session.

  • Publication number: 20240259931
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods including a network slice management function (NSMF) and a transport network-network slice subnet management function (TN-NSSMF). The NSMF is configured to request at least a transport network (TN) domain in a network architecture to create a TN portion of a network slice in a wireless communications system. The TN-NSSMF) is configured to manage the TN portion of the network slice. One of the NSMF and the TN-NSSMF has artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) integrated therein that is configured to allow the one of the NSMF and the TN-NSSMF to monitor and analyze performance of the network slice in the TN domain.

  • Publication number: 20240224099
    Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatuses for monitoring performance of network slices in a transport network by a network controller and/or a network device. In an embodiment, the method includes transmitting, to a network device of the transport network using a path computation element communication protocol (PCEP), a PCEP configuration message requesting rendering of a transport network path assigned to a transport network slice. The PCEP configuration message includes a transport network slice identifier and a slice status request. The method further includes receiving, from the network device, a first PCEP report message including slice status information indicating whether the transport network slice is in an up state, whether a service-level agreement (SLA) of the transport network slice is met, and whether the transport network slice is in a down state. The method further includes reporting, to a performance monitoring system (PMS), the slice status information.

  • Patent number: 12003408
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for policy validation techniques relating to data traffic routing among network devices. The techniques may include processing a validation request from a controller. A validation request may include information related to a computed path for routing data traffic in a computing network. The processing may include sending one or more path requests to one or more redundant controllers, and comparing computed paths from the redundant controller(s) to the originally computed path. The techniques may include generating a validation response based on comparing the computed paths. In some examples, the techniques may further include determining a health score for the controller. Policy validation techniques may improve data traffic routing among network devices by helping to ensure valid policies are produced.
