As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for orchestrating resources in a 5G network based on user equipment behavior analytics. A policy control function in the 5G network collects analytic information associated with past behavior of user equipment in a 5G network. The policy control function predicts future behavior of the user equipment in the 5G network, based on the analytic information. The policy control function generates one or more policy decisions based on the future behavior of the user equipment, wherein the one or more policy decisions cause an orchestration function of the 5G network to orchestrate resources within the 5G network for use by the user equipment.

System, method, and computer program for resource orchestration in a 5G network based on user equipment behavior analystics

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for a model driven Non-RT RIC design for O-RAN management and orchestration. One or more features of one or more onboarded Non-RT RIC applications are determined. During run-time of the Non-RT RIC, a set of components are deployed for the Non-RT RIC based on the one or more features of the one or more onboarded Non-RT RIC applications.

System, method, and computer program for a model driven non-real time radio intelligent controller (RIC) for O-RAN management and orchestration

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for generating a network slice experience index for evaluating a network slice. In use, a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) is determined for a slice of a network. For at least one point in time, an actual QoE of the network overall is measured. A slice experience index is generated based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE. The slice of the network is evaluated using the slice experience index.

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for handling a user equipment connection to a 5G network. An orchestration function of the 5G network identifies a connection to be established with the 5G network by the user equipment. The orchestration function determines a data center in the 5G network having resources available for use by the user equipment. The orchestration function generates access related information to be used by the user equipment for establishing the connection with the 5G network, wherein the access related information is based in part on the data center having the resources available for use by the user equipment. The orchestration function causes the user equipment to establish the connection to the 5G network according to the access related information by communicating the necessary information to a policy control function (PCF).

System, method, and computer program for user equipment handling in a 5G network based on available resources

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for managing charging for network slices. In use, a network slice management function manages a lifecycle of a network slice instance. Additionally, the network slice management function monitors the network slice instance for one or more chargeable events. Further, the network slice management function detects a chargeable event of the one or more chargeable events for the network slice instance, based on the monitoring. Still yet, the network slice management function triggers charging for the chargeable event.

System, method, and computer program for network slice charging management

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for automatically certifying a Virtual Network Function (VNF) for use in a Network Function Virtualization based (NFV-based) communication network. In use, an online automated VNF certification system receives information associated with at least one VNF. Further, the online automated VNF certification system performs a first level of certification for the at least one VNF by validating metadata corresponding to the information associated with the at least one VNF. Additionally, the online automated VNF certification system performs a second level of certification for the at least one VNF, including testing deployment based functionality associated with the at least one VNF and validating results of testing the deployment based functionality. Still yet, the online automated VNF certification system performs a third level of certification for the at least one VNF by executing one or more test cases associated with the at least one VNF and validating results of executing the one or more test cases. Moreover, the online automated VNF certification system identifies the at least one VNF as certified as a result of performing the third level of certification for the at least one VNF.
