Systems, devices and methods of decomposing service requests into domain-specific service requests

摘要

The various embodiments include methods, computers and communication systems that enable decomposing abstract service requests into resources rules, which may include receiving an abstract service request (e.g., a request specifying a functional requirement) via an exposed public interface, generating domain-specific resource rules based on the received abstract service request, identifying relevant components in a telecommunications domain for enforcing the generated domain-specific resource rules, and send the domain-specific resource rules to the identified components (e.g., on-line charging server, policy management server, etc.) for enforcement. Generating domain-specific resource rules based on the received abstract service request may include generating the rules consistent with the existing resource rules of the domain.

1. A method of communicating information in a telecommunications system that is organized into a plurality of heterogeneous telecommunication domains, the method comprising:
receiving, in a processor of a first domain orchestrator component, an implementation agnostic policy-charging service request message from a continuum orchestrator component, wherein:
all components in the telecommunications system involved in delivery of a first service are grouped into at least one of a plurality of domains,each domain in the plurality of domains includes different components than every other domain in plurality of domains,the plurality of domains includes at least a first domain and a second domain,each of the components in the first domain implement domain-specific rules that are specific to the first domain,the components in the first domain collectively provide a first functionality for the delivery of the first service,the components in the second domain collectively provide a second functionality for the delivery of the first service,each of the components in the second domain implement domain-specific rules that are specific to the second domain,the first domain includes the first domain orchestrator component,the second domain includes a second domain orchestrator component, andthe received implementation agnostic policy-charging service request message includes information identifying a functional service requirement for the delivery of the first service generating, by the processor of the first domain orchestrator component, implementation-and-domain-specific resource rules based on information included in the received implementation agnostic policy-charging service request message, the generated implementation-and-domain-specific resource rules including at least one domain-specific charging rule that is specific to the first domain; identifying, by the processor of the first domain orchestrator component, a policy component and a charging component in the first domain for enforcing the generated implementation-and-domain-specific resource rules; and sending at least one of the generated implementation-and-domain-specific resource rules to each of the identified policy and charging components.
