NG-RAN and 5G-NR. Frédéric Launay
the 5GC core network, when the mobile wants to establish a logical connection for a data service, it sends the RRC Service Request to the AMF with the S-NSSAI flag. The AMF selects the most suitable SMF.
On NG-RAN, the gNB-CU entity selects the gNB-DU entity based on the S-NSSAI flag. The division of the network on radio access is defined by:
1 – common RRC functions (management of sharing of radio resources between slices) and specific RRC functions (DRX, eDRX, timers, QoS, etc.);
2 – PDCP, RLC, common or specific functions (header compressions, acknowledgment, etc.);
3 – sequencing (MAC function) and prioritization on the physical layer.
The objective of virtualizing the network is to provide network flexibility and dynamic adaptation to the needs of different users, in order to meet performance indicators specific to the services requested (latency, throughput, packet loss, etc.). This flexibility is provided by an orchestrator which supervises the network functions and delegates the traffic management to the radio controllers (SD-RAN – Software Defined RAN) and network controllers (SDN: Software Defined Networking). In addition, virtualization allows isolation of the different slices.
