即将到来的5G生态系统将构建业务驱动的网络切片，以适应不同业务类型、应用和服务的不同需求，以支持垂直行业。在本文中，我们通过揭示用于集成5G通信的新型网络切片架构来描述网络切片概念。此外，我们还展示了其在使用最先进技术的演进LTE情况下的实现。最后，我们阐述了lte对5G的特定要求，并指出了存在的挑战和有待解决的问题。
The upcoming 5G ecosystem is envisioned to build business-driven network slices to accommodate the different needs of divergent service types, applications, and services in support of vertical industries. In this article, we describe the network slicing concept by unveiling a novel network slicing architecture for integrated 5G communications. Further, we demonstrate its realization for the case of evolved LTE using state-of-the-art technologies. Finally, we elaborate on the LTE-specific requirements toward 5G, and point out existing challenges and open issues.
