Network slicing provides a cost-effective means of supporting multiple services on shared infrastructure, enabling new levels of service innovation, such as high bandwidth for video applications, low latency for automation, and mass connectivity for Smart Cities.
Abstract
Communications Service Providers are looking to 5G technology as an enabler for new
revenues, with network slicing providing a cost-effective means of supporting multiple services on shared infrastructure. Different radio access technologies, network architectures, and core functions can be brought together under software control to deliver appropriate Quality of Service “slices,” enabling new levels of service innovation, such as high bandwidth for video applications, low latency for automation, and mass connectivity for Smart Cities.
