Network slice assignment control systems and methods

Abstract

Various network slice assignment arrangements are presented. A network slice management system can create a multi-dimensional attribute matrix that defines network slices that operate on a physical cellular network. Network slices that operate on the physical cellular network can be clustered based on attributes to create slice classes. A classification process to determine a slice class that most closely matches a cellular network service request may be performed. A network slice can then be selected from the slice class and be used for providing cellular network service.
