    摘要: A slice manager associated with a network access point of a telecommunication network can manage combinations of network slices and bandwidth parts for user equipment (UE). The bandwidth parts can have independently set numerologies, such as subcarrier spacing values. The UE can be configured to use one or more active bandwidth parts at a time, such that the slice manager can instruct the UE to use multiple active bandwidth parts simultaneously with respect to the same network slice or multiple network slices.

    摘要: A location for application processing is selected based on latency measurements associated with a mobile network. Instead of performing application processing at a predetermined location within a network, the application processing for an application is located within the network based on latencies measured within the network as well as other considerations. For instance, the determination of the location within the network can be based on latency measurements, target latency specifications of an application, the availability of computing resources at a location, and the like. A latency aware routing controller selects one or more locations to perform application processing. The locations may include computing resources located at or near the wireless base station (BS), between the base station and other locations within the network, at the core network, at the Internet, and/or at other locations to provide applications with the computing resources to perform the application processing.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses may comprise a Radio Access Network (RAN) node for performing RAN-layer network slicing. The system may comprise a User Equipment (UE) in communication with the RAN node to provide the UE access to a core network (e.g., a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G network). The core network may comprise one or more Network Functions (NF) including an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for facilitating communications between the RAN node and other NFs. By sending one or more RAN node messages and/or AMF messages, the system may perform RAN-layer slicing to register the UE with a network slice, establish a PDU session for the UE with the network slice, and/or provide a service to the UE with the network slice. In some instances, RAN-layer network slicing may be performed for multiple, specific use cases to meet UE service requirements.

    摘要: A latency manager at a base station in a radio access network (RAN) can be configured to dynamically determine an end-to-end latency associated with an end-to-end connection for a UE that extends through the RAN, a transport network, and a core network. The latency manager can also dynamically determine whether the end-to-end latency meets an end-to-end latency goal associated with the end-to-end connection. If the end-to-end latency does not meet the end-to-end latency goal, the latency manager can cause the base station to dynamically adjust radio resources to lower a RAN latency associated with the end-to-end connection. Lowering the RAN latency can cause the overall end-to-end latency to be lowered and to meet the end-to-end latency goal. In some examples, the latency manager may also request that the transport network and/or the core network take actions to reduce latencies to reduce the end-to-end latency to meet the end-to-end latency goal.
