Instantiating a slice of a 5G or other next generation service network in an underserved area
摘要
說明書
The mobile network device 222 of the slice component 202 can comprise various network components (e.g., network node components) or other network components, including, for example, remote radio head (RRH) component 256 (also referred to as remote radio unit or remote radio component), which can be a remote radio transceiver that can connect (e.g., wirelessly and communicatively connect) to the network node device 206 to facilitate connecting to the communication network 204 (e.g., connecting the slice component 202 to the communication network 204). The RRH component 256 can enable the slice component 202 to connect and communicate with the communication network 204 when the slice component 202 is located in underserved or unserved areas that otherwise would not have access to, or would only have limited access to, the communication network 204, as more fully described herein. The RRH component 256 also can connect (e.g., wirelessly and communicatively connect) to the communication devices (e.g., 230, 232, and/or 234, . . . ) that are in a coverage area served by the RRH component 256, which can enable the communication devices to communicate with the slice component 202 and access the services (e.g., 210, and/or 212, . . . ) associated therewith. The RRH component 256 also can be associated with the sensory unit 252 to facilitate enabling the sensory unit 252 to instantiate the core slice(s), the service slice(s), the core functions and capabilities, the VNF 254 for the service(s), and/or other functions.
