Network Slicing in 5G

Network Slicing in 5G This course presents the 5G Network Slicing feature, as currently defined in the R17 3GPP standards. It starts with presenting the reasons to introduce Network Slicing in the modern telecommunication service environment, with the bulk of the course focused on the support of Network Slicing in the 5G System. Slice-related aspects in the Core Network, Access Network, Transport Network and in the UE are covered, as well as slice-specific aspects of network management (service/customer/MANO). Designed as a technology course, it presents information at the level of procedures and parameters. The 3GPP approach to the operator’s business offering enabled by network slicing (Network Slice as a Service, Non-Public Networks) is also presented, with the supporting parameters and procedures’ definitions. A number of GSMA guidelines and Network Slicing Association’s suggestions are also included.
