Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for defining and administering microslices by a network administrator in an enterprise network is described. Microslices provide an end-to-end logical network through multiple networks, which allows a network administrator to efficiently arrange data flows in the enterprise network with a defined Quality of Service (QoS). Various embodiments of a system for creating and implementing microslices in a wireless communications network, such as a 4G LTE or 5G network are disclosed. In some embodiments the logical network connects a UE in the enterprise network with an external server through at least a Radio Access Network (RAN) and a Core Network. In some embodiments, the network administrator can define groups of UEs, define a plurality of service types, and specify an amount of network resources to be allocated to the microslice. After a microslice instance is set up, network operation can be monitored and modified.
