Network Slicing and SDN: New Opportunities for Telecom Operators Jishnu Aravindakshan & Kumar N Sivarajan
A network slice : • spans across multiple parts of the network infrastructure (e.g., terminal, access network, core network and transport network) • can be deployed across multiple operators. • comprises dedicated and/or shared resources, e.g. in terms of processing power, storage, and bandwidth and has isolation from the other network slices. • What is a Network Slice? IoT (mMTC) Slice Broadband (eMBB) Slice Low latency (uRLLC) Slice “Internet”Slice Infrastructure Layer
Slice = Virtual Machine (VM)+Virtual Network (VN) Virtual Machine Virtual Network Routers Compute Switches Storage BS/OLTs WDM/ROADM
Slice Characteristics: Network Capability Source: GSMA
Application or Service Oriented: Not network oriented. • Slice Characteristics: Network Services Source: GSMA
Network Slices are Specific to Industry Verticals Slice requirements will be different for each industry vertical Source: GSMA
