An information handling system of a Radio Access Network (RAN) system operating a secure network slice orchestration system may comprise a network interface device of the RAN system transceiving data within a 5G New Radio (NR) frequency band with an endpoint computing device, the network interface device receiving an instruction from a client solutions management (CSM) platform to assign a network slice within the 5G NR frequency band, based on a security profile associating the endpoint computing device with a security tier, to a network slice as established by a software defined network (SDN) controller within a sub-portion of the 5G NR frequency band, the secure network slice orchestration system determining the endpoint computing device is associated with the network slice within a communications profile received from the CSM platform, and the SDN controller establishing a virtual access point transceiving data within the network slice with the endpoint computing device.

The present disclosure aims to provide a core node capable of appropriately allocating a radio resource of a RAN Slice allocated for a specific service to a radio terminal that uses this specific service. A core node according to the present disclosure includes: a determination unit configured to determine a radio resource to be allocated in accordance with a service provided for a radio terminal; and a communication unit configured to transmit resource identification information indicating the radio resource determined in the determination unit to a base station that manages a plurality of radio resources for each RAN Slice associated with a service.

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for managing uplink resource grants in wireless networks. An exemplary method embodiment includes the steps of: communicating resource grants to individual customer premise equipment (CPE) devices, the resource grants including at least a first resource grant to a first CPE device and a second resource grant to a second CPE device, the first resource grant giving the first CPE device the right to use a first set of resource blocks on a recurring basis, said second resource grant giving the second CPE device the right to use a second set of resource blocks on a recurring basis; monitoring the use of resource blocks granted to the first and second CPE devices during a first period of time; using stored resource utilization information to determine resource grants which are to be shared by the first and second CPE device.

A base station and a user equipment for a wireless communication network having a plurality of logical radio access networks are described. The base station communicates with a plurality of users to be served by the base station for accessing one or more of the logical radio access networks, and selectively controls the physical resources of the wireless communication network assigned to the logical radio access networks and/or controls access of the users or user groups to one or more of the logical radio access networks. The user equipment, for accessing at least one of the logical radio access networks, receives and processes a control signal from the base station, which indicates the physical resources of the wireless communication network assigned to the logical radio access network and/or includes access control information for the user equipment for accessing the logical radio access network.

A method and apparatus are provided, which include transmitting to a user equipment via an access stratum signaling an indication as to whether network slice selection assistance information is required as part of radio connection establishment or resumption signaling, and receiving the network slice selection assistance information. A determination is then made as to whether to accept or to reject a radio resource control connection establishment or resumption based on the received network slice selection assistance information.

An information processing method provided in the present disclosure includes: allocating, to a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) cell, at least one of a frequency band dedicated to the NTN cell, a frequency dedicated to the NTN cell, and a Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) dedicated to the NTN cell; notifying User Equipment (UE) of at least one of the following information: a frequency band indicator of the frequency band, the frequency, and the PCI.

This application is directed to a method and an apparatus for associating an application with a network slice, and a communications system. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal, display instruction information, an identifier of a first network slice that the terminal is allowed to access, and service feature information corresponding to the first network slice. The method further includes: displaying the service feature information corresponding to the first network slice on a first display interface of the terminal based on the display instruction information, and generating a first network slice selection policy when detecting an operation of associating a first application with the first display interface. The first network slice selection policy can include a mapping relationship between the first application and the identifier of the first network slice corresponding to the first display interface.
