Method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium for resource allocation among network slices
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium for allocating system resources among a plurality of network slices in a communication network. In the communication network, a network device determines utility values of two network slices. A network slice corresponds to a set of network functions of a set of services served thereby. A utility value of the network slice indicates the level of demand for system resources by the set of services associated with the network slice. The network device determines a difference between the utility values of the two network slices. If the difference exceeds a threshold utility value, the network device re-allocates system resources among the plurality of network slices in the communication network. According to the embodiments, the communication network updates the system resources allocated for the plurality of network slices only when the difference between the utility values of the two network slices exceeds a certain threshold. Hence, the complexity of updating system resource allocation among the plurality of network slices may be reduced by the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.
