5G New Radio enables a wealth of use cases for consumers, enterprises, and even devices. The requirements of each service vary enormously depending on the application type. In order to provide the various types of services, mobile network operators have found different ways to adapt their networks. For example, deploying independent core networks such as one for smart phones and another for IoT devices. To address the needs for optimizing network utilization, 3GPP introduced network slicing in Release 15, providing a logical slicing up of a network to best serve different use cases.

This webinar explains what network slicing is all about, how the RAN can support it, and discusses how to test for correct 5G mobile device behavior.

In this webinar, you will learn more about:

• How slices are identified and accessed by the mobile device
• How a mobile device sorts traffic into different slices
• How the RAN supports network slicing
• How to test the correct network slicing behavior of 5G mobile devices
