5G Network Slicing - the Panacea for Realtime Network Reliability, Data, and Latency Challenges |
Network Slicing is a powerful capability in 5G wireless access based on the notion of logical networks customized to specific applications. It utilizes architectural entities including Cloud Based Architecture, Separation of Control and User Planes, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Software Defined Networking (SDN). This talk focuses on the programmability and management of Network Slices for the real time Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (UR-LLC) 5G offer characterized by stringent data delivery and latency requirements. The use cases include autonomous vehicle, e-Health, and factory automation. The key entities involved in provisioning, in particular, the Generic network Slice Template (GST) and network Application Function (AF) and their usage are covered. The Network Slice information model and the relationship between GST and network slice Network Resource Management (NRM) Service Profile are highlighted. How provisioning, is enabled based on foundational and use case specific attributes, e.g., throughput, User Equipment (UE) characteristics, mobility, priority levels, security, and isolation considerations is addressed. |
