Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for adaptations based on a service continuity requirement. One method (700) includes receiving (702) a service continuity requirement for an application of a user equipment. The method (700) includes determining (704) a query corresponding to a slice availability and/or a status at a target service area based on the service continuity requirement. The method (700) includes determining (706) a slice related adaptation for the application to maintain application service continuity based on the service continuity requirement and a slice parameter. The method (700) includes translating (708) the slice related adaptation to a trigger action for transmission to a network entity and/or a management entity. The method (700) includes transmitting (710) the trigger action to the network entity and/or the management entity.
Claims (8)
1. An apparatus comprising a control entity, the apparatus further comprising: a receiver that receives a service continuity requirement for one or more applications of one or more user equipments; a processor that: determines a query corresponding to a slice availability, a status at a target service area, or a combination thereof based on the service continuity requirement; determines a slice related adaptation for the application to maintain application service continuity based on the service continuity requirement and a slice parameter, wherein the slice related adaptation comprises: an application mapping to a target slice at the target service area; a slice modification to extend slice availability to the target service area; a dynamic slice instantiation at the target service area; or some combination thereof; and translates the slice related adaptation to a trigger action for transmission to at least one network entity, at least one management entity, or a combination thereof; and a transmitter that transmits the trigger action to the at least one network entity, the at least one management entity, or the combination thereof.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the service continuity requirement is received from a communication layer of the user equipment, the application, a network entity, an application server, or a combination thereof.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 or 2, wherein the receiver receives at least one slice parameter for supported slices of the application based on a mapping, wherein the at least one slice parameter comprises a generic network slice template parameter, a capability exposure level, a slice key performance indicator, a service profile, slice profile, a slice template, application permissions over a supported slice, application restrictions over the supported slice, network data analytics for one or more supported slices, or some combination thereof.
4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the at least one slice parameter is determined by at least one management domain, a network domain, an application service provider, a third party provider, or some combination thereof.
5. The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein the query comprises requesting and receiving elements from a further control entity responsible for the target service area.
6. The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein the transmitter transmits the query to obtain information about capabilities, conditions, or a combination thereof for: a network entity, a management entity, a user equipment, a data network, an edge platform, a cloud platform, an application server, or a combination thereof .
7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the receiver receives a response to the query, wherein the response comprises the capabilities, the conditions, or the combination thereof.
8. The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein the receiver receives a first mapping of the application to a first slice as part of the slice parameter. The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein the trigger action corresponds to a further registration, a registration update, or a combination thereof for the one or more user equipments to the network supporting the target slice at the target service area.

The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein the service continuity requirement comprises: an expected migration requirement for an application to a target service area; a predicted migration requirement for the application to the target service area; a requirement to check a slice continuity at the target service area; a requirement to support the slice continuity at the target service area; an expected handover of a user equipment to a target cell; a predicted handover of the user equipment to the target cell; the expected handover of the user equipment to a registration area; the predicted handover of the user equipment to the registration area; or some combination thereof. A method of a control entity, the method comprising: receiving a service continuity requirement for one or more applications of one or more user equipments; determining a query corresponding to a slice availability, a status at a target service area, or a combination thereof based on the service continuity requirement; determining a slice related adaptation for the application to maintain application service continuity based on the service continuity requirement and a slice parameter, wherein the slice related adaptation comprises: an application mapping to a target slice at the target service area; a slice modification to extend slice availability to the target service area; a dynamic slice instantiation at the target service area; or some combination thereof; translating the slice related adaptation to a trigger action for transmission to at least one network entity, at least one management entity, or a combination thereof; and transmitting the trigger action to the at least one network entity, the at least one management entity, or the combination thereof. An apparatus comprising a network device, the apparatus further comprising: a receiver that receives a trigger action; a processor that determines a network action based on the trigger action; and a transmitter that transmits a response to the trigger action based on a result of the network action.
