1. A method to be executed by an information processing apparatus in a cloud-based computing environment, the method comprising steps of:
receiving a congestion notification including a slice identifier for a congested slice from a mobility management device;
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.
