End-to-End Network Slicing in Radio Access Network, Transport Network and Core Network Domains

End-to-End Network Slicing in Radio Access Network, Transport Network and Core Network Domains

Network slicing (NS) has been well discussed in the transport network (TN) and core network (CN) domains. This paper extends it to the radio access network (RAN) domain, and the NS in RAN, TN and CN domains is defined as end-to-end (E2E) NS system. The advantages of using NS in the RAN domain with t...
