Slicing

Slicing enables the creation of distinct logical networks:

• Of the same type (different businesses).

• Providing differentiated behavior (different services).

5G supports end-to-end slicing (radio and core).

• Resources isolation between services.

• Customized functions and/or capacities, according to SLA.

Each terminal (UE) may connect simultaneously to max 8 slices (no limit for the number of slices in the core).

Takes benefit of NVF for easy slice creation and management (LCM).

Definition of a private 5G network

“Intended for the sole use of a private entity such as an enterprise, may be deployed in a variety of configurations, utilizing both virtual and physical elements.

Specifically, they may be deployed as completely standalone networks, they may be hosted by a public land mobile network (PLMN), or they may be offered as a slice of a PLMN”
