Abstract

A problem to be solved is to control a network slice from a core network. A method to be executed by an information processing apparatus in a cloud-based computing environment includes the steps of: receiving, from a mobility management device, a congestion notification including a slice identifier for a congested slice; transmitting, to a slice allocation device, a setting request for setting a subslice to the slice corresponding to the slice identifier, upon reception of the congestion notification; and transmitting, when a subslice identifier associated with the slice identifier is set in the slice allocation device and the subslice identifier is added in the mobility management device, an instruction to establish communication using the subslice corresponding to the subslice identifier and the slice corresponding to the slice identifier to the mobility management device.
