Abstract: A method and system for performing orchestration of services in a next generation mobile core (NGxC) is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request from a user for accessing a service from a plurality of services supported by the NGxC network. Upon receipt of the request, the method includes determining at least a type of requested service and a feasibility of delivering the requested service at least based on an entitlement of the user and a capability of a network node for delivering the requested service. The method further includes performing an orchestration of services and one or more resources of the NGxC network for delivering the requested service, based on the determined feasibility. FIGS. 3A AND 3B
Claims:WE CLAIM
1. A method of performing orchestration of services in a next generation mobile core (NGxC) network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a NGxC controller, a request from a user for accessing a service from a plurality of services supported by the NGxC network;
determining, by the NGxC controller, upon receipt of the request, at least a type of requested service and a feasibility of delivering the requested service at least based on an entitlement of the user and a capability of a network node for delivering the requested service; and
performing, by the NGxC controller, an orchestration of services and one or more resources of the NGxC network for delivering the requested service, based on the determined feasibility.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the service corresponding to the received request is delivered to the user based on a successful authentication and authorization performed by a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) component of the NGxC network on the received request.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the orchestration comprises determining an availability of the one or more resources comprising at least one or more provisioned network nodes, for delivering the requested service, and in the absence of the one or more provisioned network nodes:
identifying one or more network nodes based on the availability; and provisioning the identified one or more network nodes with configuration settings required for delivering the requested service.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein one or more network nodes are dynamically created based on unavailability of at least a network node for the provisioning, and wherein the dynamically created one or more network nodes are provisioned with the configuration settings required for delivering the requested service.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the a Quality of Service (QoS) of a service delivered by the provisioned one or more network nodes is monitored.
6. The method of claim 4, wherein a network node from the created one or more network nodes is deactivated when the node is not used for a pre-defined time interval.
7. The method of claim 5, further comprising determining a deviation in the monitored QoS with respect to a pre-defined QoS threshold, and wherein one or more corrective actions are performed when the determined deviation exceeds the pre-defined threshold.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more corrective actions comprises allocating one or more new resource to a network node, and creating a new network node.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising notifying the user upon the receipt of the request based on an acknowledgement message.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the NGxC network is one of a 5G core network or an advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE) core network.
11. A system for performing orchestration of services in a next generation mobile core (NGxC) network, the system comprising:
a hardware processors, and:
a memory communicatively coupled to the hardware processor, wherein the memory stores the processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the hardware processor to:
receive a request from a user for accessing a service from a plurality of services supported by the NGxC network;
determine upon receipt of the request, at least a type of requested service and a feasibility of delivering the requested service at least based on an entitlement of the user and a capability of a network node for delivering the requested service; and
perform an orchestration of services and one or more resources of the NGxC network for delivering the requested service, based on the determined feasibility.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the hardware processor is configured to perform an authentication and authorization on the received request for delivering the requested service to the user.
13. The system of claim 11, wherein the orchestration comprises determining an availability of the one or more resources comprising at least one or more provisioned network nodes for delivering the requested service, and in the absence of the one or more provisioned network nodes:
identifying one or more network nodes based on the availability; and provisioning the identified one or more network nodes with configuration settings required for delivering the requested service.
14. The system of claim 11, wherein the hardware processor is configured to dynamically create one or more network nodes based on unavailability of at least a network node for the provisioning.
15. The system of claim 14, wherein the hardware processor is configured to provision the dynamically created one or more network nodes with the configuration settings required for delivering the requested service.
16. The system of claim 14, wherein the hardware processor is configured to deactivate a network node from the created one or more network nodes when the node is not used for a pre-defined time interval.
17. The system of claim 15, wherein the hardware processor is configured to monitor a Quality of Service (QoS) of a service delivered by the provisioned one or more network nodes.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to determine a deviation in the monitored QoS with respect to a pre-defined QoS threshold, and wherein the hardware processor is configured to perform one or more corrective actions when the determined deviation exceeds the pre-defined threshold, and wherein the one or more corrective actions comprises allocating one or more new resource to a network node, and creating a new network node.
19. The system of claim 11, wherein the NGxC network is one of a 5G core network or an advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE) core network.
