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 8):
A network slice management method, applied to a network slice management apparatus, wherein the network slice management apparatus comprises a communicator, at least one processor, and a memory, the at least one processor is coupled to the communicator and the memory, the memory is configured to store network slice information, and wherein the method comprises:\n receiving, by the communicator, a network element address query request from a service capability exposure function apparatus, wherein the network element address query request comprises application information and a network element type indication, and the network element type indication indicates a network element having an Internet Protocol address; obtaining, by the at least one processor, network slice information from the memory based on the application information; obtaining, by the at least one processor and based on the network slice information and the network element type indication, the Internet Protocol address of the network element; and sending, by the communicator, the Internet Protocol address of the network element to the service capability exposure function apparatus.
