Network Slicing Architecture and Operations

OVERVIEW

Network slicing is one of key components that provide logical virtual network slices to support diversified services like mobile broadband, massive IoT, and ultra-reliable low latency services by leveraging the technology of 5G, SDN and NFV. This course describes Network slicing across 5G Core, RAN and Transport networks, its operation and deployment. The course provides an insight into operational aspects for Network

Slicing and how slice information is specified and used in various network procedures.

OBJECTIVE

After completing this course, the learner will be able to:

List examples of 5G usage scenarios and their unique needs

Define how slicing is applied to the 5G RAN, 5G Core and the transport network

Illustrate the relationship between network slices, data networks and QoS

Describe how slice information is used during NF selection and PDU Session setup procedures

Explain the Life-cycle Management of Network slice
