Abstract

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for managing charging for network slices. In use, a network slice management function manages a lifecycle of a network slice instance. Additionally, the network slice management function monitors the network slice instance for one or more chargeable events. Further, the network slice management function detects a chargeable event of the one or more chargeable events for the network slice instance, based on the monitoring. Still yet, the network slice management function triggers charging for the chargeable event.
