How Network Slicing Enables Multiple Services independently?

S1: Episode 9: 

Network slicing is a key feature of 5G that allows for the creation of multiple virtual networks within a single physical 5G infrastructure, each customised for specific use cases. This flexibility makes 5G adaptable to different industries and applications.

Network Slicing refers to the selection and allocation of network resources to suit the requirements of a specific service. 

For instance, an eMBB user is likely to require high throughputs so that user should be allocated network resources which support high throughputs. In contrast, a URLLC user is likely to require low latency so that user should be allocated network resources which support low latency. Lastly, Massive IoT (mMTC) caters to smart cities with numerous connected devices.

Learn how these slices cater to specific use cases, from autonomous cars to smart city sensors, without compromising speed, latency, or reliability.

But how does it all work technically? We break down into the key components like gNodeB, Central Unit, and Distributed Unit, and explore how the E1 and F1 interfaces facilitate multiple slices.

Additionally, we examine the role of PDU sessions and the significance of Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) in identifying and connecting to the right network slice.
