步骤401，NSMF在接收到SMF发送的网络切片预评估请求后，将网络切片需求信息转化为网络切片子网需求信息，其中网络切片子网需求信息指示需要部署的网络切片的子网所满足的需求。
步骤402，NSMF向NSSMF发送网络切片子网预评估请求，其中网络切片子网预评估请求中包括网络切片子网需求信息。
步骤403，NSSMF在接收到NSMF发送的网络切片子网需求信息后，判断现网是否 可以提供网络切片子网。
具体地，在本申请实施例中，NSSMF判断现网是否就可以提供网络切片子网，一种可选的具体实现方式为：NSSMF可以将网络切片子网需求信息转化为网络资源需求信息，该网络资源需求信息用于指示创建网络切片子网所需求的网络资源，然后判断现网中已部署的网络资源中是否满足创建网络切片子网所需求的网络资源，其中网络资源包括空口资源(例如，频点、小区上下行控制面用户数、小区上下行用户面PRB、小区上下行功率)、设备资源(例如站点、网络功能实例、网元、单板、CPU、基带设备能力等)、传输资源(例如CPRI接口带宽、BackHaul接口带宽)，此外，网络资源也包括逻辑资源如特定小区所需的吞吐率、覆盖和用户数承载能力等。
示例的，若现网中指定区域已部署的基站的个数为M，以每个基站可以提供的RB的个数为N为例，则现网中可以提供的RB的总个数为M×N；假设根据网络资源需求信息中包括的话务模型和用户数计算得到部署网络切片子网所需要的RB的总个数为X个，若M×N大于等于X，则现网中已部署的网络资源可以满足部署网络切片子网所需要的网络资源，若M×N小于X，则现网中已部署的网络资源无法满足部署网络切片子网所需要的网络资源，示例的，若部署网络切片子网中每个基站可以提供的RB的个数也为N个，则待部署的基站的个数为(X-(M×N))/N。其中，X、M、N为大于0的正整数。
另一种可选的具体实现方式为：直接判断现网中的已部署的网络切片子网中是否可以提供该网络切片子网，而无需将网络切片子网需求信息转化为网络资源需求信息。
需要说明的是，判断现网是否可以提供网络切片子网的算法可以预先配置在NSSMF中。
步骤404，NSSMF向NSMF发送网络切片子网预评估响应。
其中，网络切片子网预评估响应包括指示信息，其中该指示信息指示现网中是否可以提供网络切片子网。
具体的，指示信息指示现网中可以提供网络切片子网，则NSSMF预留现网中网络切片子网对应的网络资源，然后分配一个网络资源标识，用于标识现网中网络切片子网对应的网络资源，并在向NSMF发送的网络切片子网预评估响应中包括该网络资源标识。
若指示信息指示现网中无法提供网络切片子网，可选地，还可以在网络切片子网评估响应中增加无法提供网络切片资源的原因，如需要部署新的物理站点、增加已部署物理站点的单板、增加特定小区用户数承载能力或者覆盖等。
步骤405，NSMF在接收到NSSMF发送的网络切片子网评估响应后：
NSMF若确定现网中可以提供网络切片子网，则向SMF发送网络切片预评估响应，该网络切片预评估响应用于指示现网中可以提供网络切片，SMF在接收到网络切片预评估响应后，则向NSMF发送网络切片创建请求，可选的，网络切片创建请求中包括步骤404中的网络资源标识，该网络资源标识可以通过网络切片预评估响应发送给SMF。
NSMF若确定现网中不可以提供网络切片子网，则一种可选的方式为：NSMF调整将网络切片需求信息转化为网络切片子网需求信息的转化方式，然后按照调整后的转化方式，将网络切片需求信息转化为网络切片子网需求信息，然后从步骤402开始重新执行；另一种可选的方式为：NSMF向SMF发送网络切片预评估响应，其中网络切片预评估响应用于指示现网中无法提供网络切片，然后由SMF判断是否调整网络切片需求信息；还一种可选的方式为：由NSMF向NM发送网络资源部署请求，其中网络资源部署请求中包 括待部署网络资源需求信息，由NM部署并配置待部署网络资源，具体地，NM通知运维人员部署网络资源，通知EM配置网络资源，其中图4中仅示出了该种可选的方式，其它可选的方式并未体现在附图中。

步骤504，NM在接收到NSSMF发送的网络资源部署请求后，根据待部署网络资源需求信息，部署并配置网络资源，具体地NM部署并配置网络资源的实现方式可以为：
由NM通知相应的运维人员部署待部署网络资源，并请求EM配置待部署网络资源；或者，由NM向EM发送网络资源部署请求，由EM部署以及配置待部署网络资源。
步骤505，NM在确定成功部署并配置待部署网络资源后，预留该网络资源，并为该网络资源分配一个网络资源标识，用于唯一识别该网络资源，并向NSSMF发送网络资源部署通知，其中网络资源部署通知中包括网络资源标识和指示信息，该指示信息用于指示待部署网络资源部署成功。
