Research on mine 5G network slicing technology
Abstract
Network slicing is an important technology in 5G networks. The existing research on mine 5G mainly focuses on system architecture and application scenarios, lacking specific implementation solutions for slicing technology. In order to solve the above problem, by analyzing the basic structure of mine 5G networks and the application requirements of intelligent mines, it is proposed to use the channelization function of FlexE to achieve resource allocation and business isolation in the transmission network. It constructs multiple on-demand customized dedicated logical networks on the same network infrastructure, namely network slicing. According to the current applications of mine information communication systems and intelligent mines, a method of mine 5G network basic slicing+transmission resource allocation based on bandwidth weight is proposed. The network is divided into five types of slicing: low delay service, large bandwidth service, industrial ring network service, specific service (unmanned cooperative control) and reserved service. Through further virtual private network (VPN) division method, differentiated bandwidth weight is designed to ensure sufficient transmission resources and avoid channel congestion. The specific 5G QoS identifiers (5QI) are defined based on the requirements of different services for latency and bandwidth. The mapping and isolation based on 5QI are obtained to provide the required service levels for various businesses. Under laboratory conditions, two indicators of business scheduling time and end-to-end delay are tested for mine 5G network systems. The results show that network slicing can achieve more efficient business scheduling than traditional best-effort service models. In high-load scenarios, the average scheduling time is reduced by 10.9%. Within the same business slice, the average end-to-end delay of the mine 5G network is 10.33 ms, providing necessary conditions for the implementation of unmanned collaborative control and other services.
