Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice-based admission and congestion control service is provided. The congestion control service monitors for congestion in a network slice. When congestion is detected, the congestion control service may adjust an allotment of a resource of a network device or the resource of the network slice from end-to-end. When neither of these adjustments can be made, the congestion control service may use a network slice-based access control barring.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n monitoring, by a network device, congestion of a first network slice, wherein the first network slice includes network devices; determining, by the network device, whether congestion is detected for at least one of the network devices, based on the monitoring; determining, by the network device, whether a first network resource of the at least one of the network devices can be increased in response to determining that congestion is detected from the at least one of the network devices; determining, by the network device, whether a second network resource, from end-to-end of the first network slice, can be increased in response to determining that the first network resource of the at least one of the network devices cannot be increased, wherein determining whether the second resource, from end-to-end of the first network slice, can be increased comprises:\n identifying, by the network device, at least one of a third network resource of a second network slice that is under-utilized or that the second network slice is of a lower priority relative to a priority of the first network slice; and \n allocating, by the network device in response to the identifying, the third network resource of the second network slice to the first network slice.
