Abstract(in English) To accommodate diverse 5G service requirements in a cost-efficient manner, the concept of network slicing leveraging NFV/SDN technologies is emerging in the telco industry. In 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP), DÉCOR and eDECOR architecture that specify how one or more dedicated core networks can be selected for specific types of subscribers have been standardized, and are being discussed for realizing network slicing. However, these proposals use user contexts only for network slice selection. It is difficult to carry out dynamic network slice management based on user contexts only, such as location data because network allocation policy is then statically determined, and they can be used only when a subscriber starts to connect to the core network. In order to enhance dynamicity, in this paper, we propose an architecture that enables dynamic slice management by Slice Management Function (SMF) and Slice Selection Function (SSF). In addition, we also implement SSF on DÉCOR architecture and evaluate the amount of control signals according to the locations of SSF.
