  • Publication number: 20260107296
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards facilitating the creation of network sub-slices within a network slice. When a network slice having defined default specification data (e.g., quality of service and prioritization levels) is instantiated, resources of the network slice can be allocated to network sub-slices within the network slice. A network sub-slice has modified specification data relative to the default specification data. Upon connection of a mobile device to the network, if the mobile device is part of a group associated with a network slice and sub-slice, the mobile device traffic is handled based on its network slice default specification data as modified by the modified sub-slice specification data. Network sub-slices thus provide a way for variations within the parameter data of a network slice, without the overhead and need to instantiate a separate network slice for each variation needed by subscribing entities.

  • Publication number: 20250133486
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards network slicing for private cellular networks (PCNs). Network slicing can be leveraged as described herein to meet security requirements and/or other policies applicable to PCNs. Network slices implemented according to this disclosure can comprise a private network slice, a public network slice, and a public safety network slice. User equipment can be provisioned with slice identifiers for the network slices, and applications at the user equipment can specify an appropriate slice identifier for their network communications. Network equipment can be configured to route application traffic to a specified slice and to allocate network resources according to the specified slice, as well as to implement security and other policies according to the specified slice.
