Webinar: 5G Network Slicing (28th Feb)
Recorded: 28th February 2022
The 5G standards support many different use cases and deployment scenarios using a wide range of techniques and design principles. In turn, these support diverse network capabilities and performance centred on attributes such as data rates, capacity, latency, energy use, user density, reliability, and security.
In order to map these capabilities to the use cases in a way that maximises overall efficiency and cost effectiveness, the concept of the “Network Slice” has been introduced. It allows for a range of “capability sets” or “virtual networks” (supporting different use cases, deployment scenarios, or even different customers) to be configured on a common underlying infrastructure.
In particular, latency is dependant to at least some extent on the physical location of the application server, with some use cases requiring co-location at the base station, or within the Radio Access Network (RAN). In this talk we explore what Network Slicing is, how it is used, and how it is deployed in the 5G network, as well as (briefly) the role of MEC (Multi Access Edge Computing) in support of specific use cases and potential slice deployments.
