Abstract

A network provider implements network slicing. Network instances are instantiated on a communication network that are configured to provide a configured set of services that are accessible to a controlled set of devices. When a first device is either registered or authenticated with the communication network or has entered a service area, a service profile is identified and analyzed. In response to determining that the service profile matches a configured set of services for one of the instantiated network instances, the first device is enabled to access the matching instantiated network instance.
