Title of Talk: Network slicing: Challenges and Enabling Technologies

Abstract of Talk

Currently, in communication networks, a one-size-fits-all approach is used for remote frameworks, with maximum resources underutilized for low latency and high transmission capacity scenarios. A fixed resource task used for different distinctive requirements may not be a beneficial procedure for consuming existing framework assets. One of the ideas that might provide solutions to these problems and comprehend the visualization of 5G is network slicing. It is one of the most widely accepted concepts for the organization of networks, with the goal of creating logical networks with personalized capabilities for specific needs on a shared physical platform. With the commercialization of 5G and growing applications, network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) can assist in the advancement of network slicing since they are two related but distinct technologies that are driving the digital revolution of network infrastructure in the telecom industry.
