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 4):
A service capability exposure function apparatus collaborating with a domain name system and an application server, comprising:\n a memory, configured to store network slice information; a communicator, configured to receive an application request from the application server, wherein the application request comprises application information; and at least one processor, configured to:\n obtain network slice information from the memory based on a network slice identifier in the application information; and \n construct a fully-qualified domain name based on the network slice information; \n wherein the communicator is further configured to:\n send, the fully-qualified domain name to the domain name system, to obtain an Internet Protocol address of a network element; and send the application request to the network element based on the Internet Protocol address.
