Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to network slice selector (NSS). In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (eNB) may include a processor circuit, and an NSS for execution by the processor circuit to allocate a network slice (NS) to a user equipment (UE). The NS may comprise one or more virtual network function(s) (VNF). In one implementation, a VNF takes on the responsibility of handing specific network functions run on one or more virtual machines (VM) associated with hardware networking infrastructures, such as routers, switches, etc. Individual VNFs may be combined or connected together to provide a complete networking communication service for UEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus, comprising:\n at least one memory; and a processor circuit coupled to the at least one memory, the processor circuit to: identify information for a user equipment (UE), the information comprised in a received message; select a network slice (NS) for allocation to the UE based on the identified information, the NS comprising at least one virtual network function (VNF); and report the selected NS to a virtual network functions orchestrator.
