System and method configuring a slice profile in a fifth generation network

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments herein disclose a system and method for configuring slice profile in a Fifth Generation (5G) network. The method comprises determining root slice profile from a Service Profile (). Further, generating one or more subnet slice profiles () associated with corresponding one or more network domains of the 5G network from the root slice profile. Furthermore, classifying one or more attributes () in each of the one or more subnet slice profiles () as configurable attributes () or as non-configurable attributes for the corresponding one or more network entities () in the corresponding network domain. Thereafter, providing the one or more attributes () categorized as the configurable attributes () to the corresponding one or more network entities () for enforcing the configurable attributes (). Finally, providing the one or more attributes () categorized as the non-configurable attributes to the corresponding one or more OAM entities for enforcing the non-configurable attributes.
