Validating 5G Standalone slicing advantages through a real life mobility scenario.

This paper presents field trial results of two combined use cases with different QoS requirements: (1) a transport vertical Smart Junction use case; and (2) a healthcare vertical Paramedic Support use case. We focus on slicing prioritization configured in the RAN, at the gNB level, to guarantee QoS requirements for the combined use cases. We deploy three slices: Transport, Health, and general purpose (Internet) traffic. Our trial results show, by analysing the throughput in the network, that RAN slicing is suitable for guaranteeing QoS requirements of multiple applications and services co-existing in the same 5G network.
