RAN Runtime Slicing System for Flexible and Dynamic Service Execution Environment

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Network slicing is one key enabler to provide the required flexibility and to realize the service-oriented 5G vision. Unlike the core network slicing, radio access network (RAN) slicing is still at its infancy and several works just start to investigate ...

A simulator for analyzing a network slicing policy with SLA-based performance isolation of slices

open access: yesDiscrete and Continuous Models and Applied Computational Science, 2021
Efficient allocation of radio access network (RAN) resources remains an important challenge with the introduction of 5G networks. RAN virtualization and division into logical subnetworks - slices - puts this task into a new perspective.

5G RAN Slicing for Verticals: Enablers and Challenges [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Communications Magazine, 2019
This article investigates the slicing concept in the 5G RAN with the related challenges and research problems. The objective is to identify the plausible options for implementing the slicing concept at the RAN level by the mobile network operator to respond to the needs of verticals. We start by identifying the different slice granularity options, that
