Abstract

A method in which an enterprise switches its devices to various federated network slices across operators based on cost, time, quality, and/or availability parameters defined in flexible rules managed by the enterprise. The method includes obtaining, by a controller of an enterprise, one or more parameters of a device served by a network slice of a core network. The method further includes, based on the one or more parameters of the device and one or more rules, determining, by the controller, whether a triggering event associated with a slice reselection occurred and based on the triggering event and the one or more rules, selecting, by the controller, a federated network slice from among a plurality of network slices provided by a plurality of core networks. The method further includes the controller causing the device to switch from the network slice to the federated network slice.
