Network slicing architecture for 5G network
Tae-Whan Yoo · 2016
3GPP SA2 [6] is currently developing 5G network architecture with a code name of NextGen Network. Network slicing architecture is the key issue to change the network paradigm into a new unforeseen stage of a programmable softwarized network. Although there have been many related research projects, NextGen network will be the first large-scale commercial network that adopts the network softwarization. This paper will discuss the current design issues on network slicing architecture, and proposes a new top-down approach and NextGen RRC architecture to resolve the current problems.
