  • Patent number: 11516881
    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.

  • Patent number: 11337175
    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.
