NetworkSliceBooking API Description

API Description

The “Network Slice Booking” API provides a programmable interface for developers to reserve and manage network slice resources within a specified area and time period. This API allows users to define service areas (e.g., circular or polygonal regions), set Quality of Service (QoS) parameters (e.g., throughput, latency, and terminal limits), and control device access to the reserved network slice.

Use Cases

Event Management: Reserve high-capacity network slices for large-scale events (e.g., concerts, sports events) to ensure seamless connectivity for attendees.

Industrial IoT: Allocate dedicated network slices for industrial IoT applications, ensuring low-latency and high-reliability communication for critical operations.

Smart Cities: Provide temporary network slices for smart city projects, such as traffic management or public safety initiatives, during specific time periods.

Access Control: Provides control over which devices can access the reserved network slice.

Benefits

Enhanced Network Efficiency: Optimize network resource allocation by booking slices only when needed.

Customizable QoS: Tailor network performance to meet specific application requirements, such as low latency or high throughput.

Operational efficiency for the API customer (cost savings).
