Couple of comments from my perspective before disappearing for Xmas. > Slices have the baggage that a process can belong to only one slice at a time. Not always. A process which is implementing an air interface could in fact be implementing several slices in the same process. Or same core. > Why does yet another term need to be defined for what has been traditionally called a multi-tenant VPN. I believe a slice is much more than a VPN however VPN technologies are likely a component part of what a slice 'is'. Here is a definition I have found helpful: To define a slice we need to look at it from the perspective of both the end devices (1) and the network (2) so: (1) From the perspective of the end devices it's relatively simple. A slice is a way to group end devices that share common QOS/QOE and Administration/Geographic area etc. (2) From the perspective of the network a slice is much more complicated. Essentially a slice is a set of subsets of the all the network equipment that makes up the 5G network from Antennas through to core processing. Thus Slice_i = Subset of(All_Antennas) U subset of(All_Fronthaul) U Subset of(All CRAN fabric) U Subset of(All CRAN processing) U Subset of(ALL Numerologies) U Subset of(All DC fabric) U Subset of(All DC processing) Where of course Subset(X) can contain all or none of the elements in X. So to bring up a slice we need to allocate antennas, configure the fronthaul to the CRAN fabric, allocate the CRAN fabric, allocate processing resources ( shared or unique in the CRAN), populate those processing resources with the code (Numerology) that implements the RAT, then we need to allocate packet backhaul bandwidth in the CRAN or DC fabric, then assign compute resources (shared or stand alone for the packet core processing). >From this we can see that a multi tenant VPN can be used to implement a subset of a DC fabric and interconnect a subset of all DC processing. However there are a number of other areas of interest to the implementation of a slice that are well outside the scope of a VPN. Note also that a slice can be isolated from another slice in time, space, frequency or statistically in each of those subsets and in particular the fronthaul and RAT require very hard boundaries between slices while as we get further towards packet processing the boundaries can be less ridgid. Hence the need for a new term. Peter
