Fifth generation and beyond (5G+) systems are expected to adopt new network architectures, services, and deployment schemes for compatibility with the latest technologies and end user's needs. With increase in user equipment (UE), also come variety of advanced applications and use-cases, wherein each application type has its own KPI requirements. Existing resource allocation schemes in cellular networks are not able to handle such dynamic requirements due to which network slice can lead to unwanted mismanagement of resources. Present application provides systems and methods for application-aware dynamic slicing in radio access network (RAN), wherein RAN slicing is proactively managed by learning historical slice demands and consumptions. Once slices are created, the system allocates resources to user equipment by following optimal inter-slice and intra-slice mechanisms based on application type(s), traffic demand(s) and wireless characteristics of UE. Upon resource allocation the UE are further monitored to avoid resource misutilization and resource wastage.

State of the art networking solutions are tightly coupled and proprietary in nature due to multiple vendors in the networking domain. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for management and orchestration of heterogeneous network environment using dynamic, robust and network aware microservices. The method enables a platform for automatically and dynamically identifying appropriate group of microservices in accordance with network type and service type specified by the user, thus providing a solution that generates network aware microservices for each network in the heterogeneous network landscape. Furthermore, the system manages the identified microservices for each of the network by managing the life cycle of these microservices. The right life cycle management and co-ordination of the microservices for the network is in-line with desired goals/business logic, in a reliable and scalable manner, in heterogeneous network environments.
