Data-Driven Network Slicing From Core to RAN for 5G Broadcasting Services
IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting(2021)
Abstract
Network slicing is a widely discussed technology for 5G broadcasting services, as it allows the operators to create end-to-end virtual slices across the 5G core (5GC) and the 5G radio access network (RAN). The joint network slicing is necessary for 5GC and 5G RAN in a bid to enhance the overall resource utilization and quality of service. Nevertheless, as the dimension of network resource and user demand increase, the computational complexity of slice status update goes up as well. To overcome this scalability problem, we propose a data driven approach to realize joint slice reconfiguration from 5GC to 5G RAN in real-time. Our design shortens significantly the time of slice status update by mapping the resource status to a two-dimensional vector graph. In addition, we also introduce a corresponding slice reconfiguration algorithm to balance the load of each slice in 5GC and 5G RAN. Simulation results justify that our proposed approach can greatly reduce the cost of slice status update and achieve desirable slice reconfiguration performance.
