Network as a Service - A Demo on 5G Network Slicing
28th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 28), Würzburg, Germany, (September 2016)Abstract
Network slicing allows to offer an individual programmable network
architecture, which suits the requirements of various use cases, subscriber
types and apps. Within a slice, the functional elements can be instantiated
according to the specific service offering, e.g., health, automotive,
logistics, energy, and public safety. All these services have different
demands on the network such as ultra-low latency, massive IoT, or dense
broadband. A öne-size-fits-all" solution as we have it today, covering
all different use cases and services to every device everywhere in the
network, is obviously not an option. A far more beneficial solution can be
provided if different deployments and architectural flavors can be setup
for each use case or service group, respectively and all these different
network implementation can be run in parallel.
Within this demo, we present 5G network slicing using the example of a
health insurance provider offering individual services for the customers
with the help of a network slice.
