Systems and methods for on demand intelligent analytics dynamic access network slice switching and carrier aggregation
Systems and methods for dynamic access network slice switching and carrier aggregation include a radio access network (RAN) and user devices with dual radio user equipment. The RAN receives a 4G and a 5G service request from user equipment having a specified priority. A first RAN slice for the 4G and 5G service request is instantiated using a RAN scheduler. A temporary radio resource control protocol slice having an associated timer that allows the dual radio user equipment to stay connected to the RAN for a period of time is then instantiated. Instructions identifying an appropriate resource and RAN slice for complying with user plane service level agreement requirements are received at the RAN and a second RAN slice for instantiating a carrier aggregation slice comprising both the 4G and 5G radio resource control protocol request for complying with the user plane service level agreement requirement is engaged.
1. A method, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a 4G service request and a 5G service request from a dual radio user equipment;
based on the 4G service request and the 5G service request, receiving, by the processor, instructions identifying a resource and a radio access network slice to comply with user plane service level agreement requirements; and
based on the instructions identifying the resource and the instructions identifying the radio access network slice, instantiating, by the processor, a carrier aggregation slice comprising a combined 4G and 5G radio resource control protocol request to increase bandwidth.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provides connection establishment and release functions.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provide RRC connection mobility procedures, paging notification and release, or outer loop power control.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function, wherein the slice selection function is determined by a software defined network controller.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user plane service level agreement requirements comprise a quality of service class identifier, an address resolution protocol, a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate, or an access point name aggregate maximum bit rate.
7. A system, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a 4G service request and a 5G service request from a dual radio user equipment;
based on the 4G service request and the 5G service request, receiving instructions identifying a resource and a radio access network slice to comply with user plane service level agreement requirements; and
based on the instructions identifying the resource and the instructions identifying the radio access network slice, instantiating a carrier aggregation slice comprising a combined 4G and 5G radio resource control protocol request to increase bandwidth.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provides connection establishment and release functions.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provide RRC connection mobility procedures, paging notification and release, or outer loop power control.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function, wherein the slice selection function is determined by a software defined network controller.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user plane service level agreement requirements comprise a quality of service class identifier, an address resolution protocol, a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate, or an access point name aggregate maximum bit rate.
13. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user plane service level agreement requirements are determined at a service layer.
14. A computer readable storage medium that is not a signal storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a 4G service request and a 5G service request from a dual radio user equipment;
based on the 4G service request and the 5G service request, receiving instructions identifying a resource and a radio access network slice to comply with user plane service level agreement requirements; and
based on the instructions identifying the resource and the instructions identifying the radio access network slice, instantiating a carrier aggregation slice comprising a combined 4G and 5G radio resource control protocol request to increase bandwidth.
15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provides connection establishment and release functions.
16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the 4G service request and the 5G service request provide RRC connection mobility procedures, paging notification and release, or outer loop power control.
17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function.
18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions identifying the resource are determined by a slice selection function, wherein the slice selection function is determined by a software defined network controller.
