Abstract

Abstract: A slicing framework of a service oriented the fifth generation of mobile communications system(5G) is proposed. Furthermore, a prototype verification platform for slicing orchestration and management is designed and implemented. Through the simple and general testbed based on software defined network and network function virtualization, the resource sharing among various vendors and operators and the dynamic monitoring can be implemented. The tenants can get on-demand customization and guaranteed service on the top of common infrastructure.

Key words: microservice, fifth generation of mobile communications system(5G), network slicing, orchestration and management
