END-TO-END slice management in 5G Networks

This research investigates the softwarization and virtualization techniques in 5G networks and how these techniques could improve the Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). In addition, how the virtualized functions and services from one provider will cooperate with other providers to move the subscribers to their services dynamically without affecting the subscriber’s experience. According to the researchers' view, slice management, resource allocation and mobility management are open issues for the future network. For that, we create multiple slices on top of the physical infrastructure and generate traffic over the slices to evaluate the traffic and measure the delay after sending data packets from the user slices to the UPF. Furthermore, End-to-End slice performance will be analyzed after generating the traffic over the slices.
