Application: Network slice subnet instance configuration (Patent ID: US20240031926A1)

The patent application by BT Group Plc describes a method for configuring network slice subnet instances on a radio access node in a wireless telecommunications network. The method involves receiving transceiver data to determine the capabilities of the radio access node, selecting the count of network slice subnet instances and operating values based on these capabilities, and configuring the instances accordingly. The properties considered for configuration include transmitters, receivers, node type, gain, signal processing algorithms, and computational capabilities of the radio access node. The method aims to allocate resources efficiently and satisfy service level agreements.

The claims detail the steps involved in the method, such as defining operating values for different counts of network slice subnet instances, selecting values within operating regions, and allocating resources based on determined operating values. The method also considers properties like data rate and communication range of the radio access node for configuration. Additionally, the patent application covers the use of a computer program and a network node to implement the method, ensuring efficient configuration of network slice subnet instances. The focus is on optimizing the configuration process based on the capabilities and properties of the radio access node to enhance network performance and meet service requirements effectively.
