SLICE-BASED OPERATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS WITH END-TO-END NETWORK SLICING

摘要

Embodiments provide a BS apparatus operable in a wireless communication for a 5G system, the apparatus comprising RF circuitry to receive at least one communication originating from a network virtualization component and/or software defined network, and baseband circuitry to identify based on information from the communication a first association of a first local component of a RAN and a second remote component of the RAN, the first association corresponding to a network slice, and identify based on information of the same or a different communication of the at least one communication a second association of the first local component of the RAN and a third component of the RAN that is different than the second component of the RAN, the second association corresponding to the network slice, wherein the second association is based on at least one of traffic type, traffic load, or a QoS requirement.
