5G Network Slicing Concepts, Requirements and Practice
Abstract
Network slicing has evolved from a simple fixed network overlay concept to a fundamental feature of the emerging multi-provider fifth generation (5G) systems, enabling new business opportunities by facilitating flexible and agile support for multi-service and multi-tenancy. Network slicing can drastically transform the monolithic “one network fits all” architecture by abstracting, isolating, and separating logical network behaviors from the underlying physical network resources, opening the network to third parties and providing the means of integrating vertical market segments. This presentation brings light into some of the fundamental use cases, concepts and associated requirements of network slicing providing and overview of the technologies and standardization efforts considering 3GPP, BBF and IETF.
