5G Network Slicing

Image
Purpose The purpose of network slicing is to build a single network that could fit all. The traditional hardware and software suffer from challenges in changing network environments. For example, you may become vendor-dependent when you buy network hardware from a vendor and want to expand or change it in the future. The vendor may charge you a hefty amount even for smaller changes, updates, or improvements.  Evolution of 5G network Slicing:  We had similar technologies in 4G but not network slicing before 5G. There are many 5G usage scenarios one of them are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMMB) for mobile browsing.  Ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC). Massive Machine Type Communication (MMTC). These use cases do not require higher data rates. ITU has these applications at the start for 5G. V2X slice were added later these are started slices.   Its not the optimal way to do things. Specification 23501, 23502 In network slicing, we consider the ser...
