SliceNet: enabling 5G use cases for vertical businesses

The use cases motivating 5G are so diverse and challenging that 5G networks must be customizable for a very broad range of individual scenarios. The Project SliceNet, part of the European 5G infrastructure PPP, is set to implement end-toend multi-domain network slicing that provides a management plane for slices, as well as facilitating vertical business added value, coupled with optimized Quality of Experience (QoE) for the end users. This paper analyses the requirements derived from a set of use cases from different vertical industries including: Smart Grid Self-Healing, e-Health Smart/Connected Ambulance and Smart City.
