Network Slicing to Enable Scalability and Flexibility in 5G Mobile Networks

End-to-end Network Slicing for 5G Mobile Networks

The research and development (R&D) and the standardization of the 5th Generation (5G) mobile networking technologies are proceeding at a rapid pace all around the world. In this paper, we introduce the emerging concept of network slicing that is considered one of the most significant technology challenges for 5G mobile networking infrastructure, summarize our preliminary research efforts to ena...

Network slicing management & prioritization in 5G mobile systems

5G mobile network is expected to serve flexible requirements hence dynamically allocate network resources according to the demands. Network slicing, where network resources are packaged and assigned in an isolated manner to set of users according to their specific requirements, is considered as a key paradigm to fulfil diversity of requirements. There will clearly be conflicting demands in allo...

Towards 5G Network Slicing over Multiple-Domains

Network Slicing in 5G Mobile Communication Architecture, Profit Modeling, and Challenges

Efficient flexibility and higher system scalability call for enhanced network performance, better energy consumption, lower infrastructure cost, and effective resource utilization. To accomplish this, an architectural optimization and reconstruction of existing cellular network is required. Network slicing is considered to be one of the key enablers and an architectural answer of communication ...

Coreless 5G Mobile Network

Today’s mobile networks contain an increasing variety of proprietary hardware stifling innovation and leading to longer time-to-market for introduction of new services. We propose to replace the mobile core network nodes and interfaces with an Open Source SW implementation running on general purpose commodity hardware. The proposed open source approach referred to as software defined access (So...
