As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for intent translation to Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) in intent-based orchestration. A microservice of a service and network orchestrator receives an intent defined in a first format associated with a first standard used for modeling and management of network services. The microservice translates the intent defined in the first format to a second format associated with a TOSCA-based model used for modeling and management of network services, to form the intent defined in the second format. The microservice outputs the intent defined in the second format.

System, method, and computer program for intent translation to TOSCA in intent-based networking

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for intent to service mappings in intent-based orchestration. An intent orchestrator receives an intent specifying one or more parameters of a service required for a network. The intent orchestrator translates the intent to one or more basic data types of a plurality of predefined basic data types based on the one or more parameters. The intent orchestrator forms one or more abstract services using the one or more basic data types. The intent orchestrator determines one or more specific services of a network orchestrator that correlate with the one or more abstract services. The intent orchestrator causes the network orchestrator to fulfill the intent using the one or more specific services.

System, method, and computer program for intent to service mapping in intent-based orchestration

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.

System, method, and computer program for generating a network slice experience index for evaluating a network slice

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.
