Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a network slice management apparatus, a service capability exposure function apparatus, and a network slice management method. According to the network slice management apparatus and the service capability exposure function apparatus in the present disclosure, the service capability exposure function apparatus obtains, based on information provided in an application request, information corresponding to a network slice of a core network. The service capability exposure function apparatus further queries an address of a network element in the network slice and communicates with the network element.

Claim (Index 13):
A network slice management method, applied to a service capability exposure function apparatus, wherein the service capability exposure function apparatus comprises a communicator, at least one processor, and a memory, the at least one processor is coupled to the communicator and the memory, and wherein the method comprises:\n receiving, by the communicator, network topology information from a network slice management apparatus; receiving, by the communicator, an application request from an application management apparatus, wherein the network topology information comprises a network element Internet Protocol address list and a name-identifier relationship between a network slice identifier and a network slice feature name, and the application request comprises application information; storing, by the memory, the network topology information; obtaining, by the at least one processor, the network slice identifier from the memory based on a network slice name in the application information and the name-identifier relationship; obtaining, by the at least one processor, an Internet Protocol address of a network element from the network element Internet Protocol address list based on the network slice identifier; and sending, by the communicator, the application request to the network element based on the Internet Protocol address.
