CCNC 2020, IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference, 10-13 January 2020, Las Vegas, USA
Due to the recent mobile traffic explosion, Mobile
network Operators (MNOs) are severely challenged. We believe
that the imminent arrival of 5G, will drive changes in communications
service provider networks and address several issues by
leveraging on both Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and
Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies. The upcoming
5G ecosystem will involve a number of vertical markets to give
rise to a plethora of novel services with different requirements
such as, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC),
machine Massive Type Communications (mMTC), and enhanced
Mobile Broadband (eMBB). To be able to offer such variety
of services with different needs over the same network, this
latter should be split into multiple logical networks known as
network slices. In this paper, we propose an architecture design
for 5G network slicing inspired by ONF and 3GPP models. We
have developed an OpenAPI-based architecture that provides
Network Slice as a Service (NSaaS) together with their life
cycle management. We have demonstrated the realization of this
approach via a deployment of the URLLC, mMTC, and eMBB
services on a real platform.
