China Mobile, Tencent, Huawei verify 5G eMBB slice in AR Games

摘要

China Mobile, Tencent, and Huawei have completed the verification of 5G network slices for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services requiring stable network latency in AR games. In Phase 1 of the 5G slicing verification project, terminals, networks, and AR game platforms are connected. The test verified the effects of data rate acceleration with slicing at the terminal side, and with slicing at both the terminal and network sides. The slice management function was also examined. China Mobile, Tencent, and Huawei have started Phase 2 of the 5G slicing verification. A new round of tests is scheduled for completion by year-end. The project will focus 5G core networks' movement towards users, and the sensing of access network and bearer network slices. Slice management will also be closely examined. This includes research into slice template design, coordinated orchestration across terminal slices, core network slices, bearer network slices, and mobile edge computing (MEC). On-demand, flexible deployment of third-party applications on MEC will also be explored, Huawei also said.
